Replying to: autoboy16 (Jan 05, 2008 1:43 pm) This was more than likely accomplished via ECU (Electronic Control Unit) software upgrade to add the 20 hp and raise the redline from 5900 rpm to 6300 rpm. |

Replying to: 600kgolfgt (Jan 06, 2008 4:25 pm) "Volkswagen answered this concern by adding variable valve control to what is essentially the same 2.5-litre 5-cylinder engine, adding 20 horsepower and 7 lb-ft of torque to the new Rabbit."

| On our 2005.5 "new" Jetta, when you do a windshield wash, the wipers make an extra swipe after some delay. This is often annoying as when you are going slow or stopped it is not needed and sometimes just serves to smaer things. Can this be turned off by the dealer or using a Vag-Com? (we do not have the Multi-Function interface to change settings, I don't know if it is an option under that) | |

Hello, I want to know if removing my catalytic converter will reduce my performance, because I heard that this cars need some back pressure to operate properly. thanks...

Replying to: borasport (Feb 05, 2008 2:19 pm) Not being an engineer...I don't think anything would be wrong with removing it. I think most cars would make a "little" more power with it removed...I don't think the ECU would adjust the fuel settings...i think there is a front O2 sensor for that (before cat). However, I would expect the check engine light to stay lit.
