At the beginning of November there was a tuning incident in Dusseldorf. The focus was on an 26-year-old driver of a VW Golf GTI who had made some illegal changes to the vehicle. In various forums, this action is currently being discussed hotly. What happened? The vehicle caught the officials by some modifications. After the driver was stopped was his first statement "Everything entered, Mr. Wachtmeister." But this was apparently not the case. “The GTI was significantly lower than entered in the vehicle registration document and there were also some questionable changes under the bonnet.

VW Golf GTI with several defects

The sports exhaust system impressed with 91 decibels and chip tuning software was installed. This was not entered. How one could find the chip tuning software "on site" remains a mystery to us. This would be understandable with a tuning box, but it will be from a new one Software spoken on the engine control unit. Anyway. The result, which was determined by a Dusseldorfer examiner, certified instead of standard 235 PS now whopping 318 horses. Result: Vehicle shut down, display follows!
