VAGCOM - How to activate the cornering lights.
Mine is a MK5 with white colour MFD. I understand the MK5 with red MFD has a different sets of instruction to activate the cornering light.
In case you want to know how the "white MFD" looks like, here is it.
Ok, back to the more important stuff.
To activate the cornering lights, at the VAGCOM software, under Select Control Module, Click Select.
After that, click on 09-Cent. Elect
Click on Adaptation and you should see his menu next. Then click on Long Coding Helper
Notice the Byte 0, now look for Byte 14 and activate Bit 7 and click Do It!
Next do a check and you should be able to see this when u turn your steering wheel.
Hope that helps.
Note : Be prepared your close friends will call u and tell u one of your fog lights are blown.

Torque Magazine - March 2012 Edition
Managed to get my ride featured "again". So far, all my 4 rides were featured in local magazine / tabloid before.
My 1st ride - Mitsubishi Pajero Mini was featured in Wheelsasia. I think it was the editor that took the shot of my car when I was participating in Advance Rally Course held in Kallang Car Park (beside the drive thru MacDonald & KFC).
My 2nd ride - Peugeot 206cc was featured in Carma magazine (Dec 2005). A good friend told me to write the article and I submitted the photos together with it. I still have a copy of it! :)
My 3rd ride - Mitsubishi Colt Version R was featured in a local tabloid CarBuyer. Ralliart Pit helped me to arrange, cos they wanted a Version R to promote some of their parts.
My 4th ride - Volkswagen Jetta was featured in Torque magazine (Mar 2012). I wrote in to the Deputy Editor, David Ting and he directed me to Tony Tan where they eventually published it in Mar 2012 edition.
Anyway, here's the pics.. Sorry not able to scan the document, can only "take a pic" of it.

The battle of the chip. TMC Tuning Box vs Dr Hannson Piggyback
I think this is going to be interesting... I had the luxury (or what some will call me crazy) to test both piggyback chip. Somehow, I prefer piggyback chip over Stage 1 or 2 tuning as I could revert back to normal (or stock ECU) when I remove the piggyback from the sensors.
Having said the nonsense, here's my "journey of the (potato??) chips".
I installed TMC on my stock car. Did a dyno run in Tampines using a running dyno. The stock reading are as follows.
These readings were taken at DKC Jidousha (Blk 9002 Tampines Street 93, Industrial Park A #01-66. Singapore 528836), using a rolling road dyno. Please multiply all readings by factor of 1.2 to find engine power.
Stock Jetta Sports.
165 bhp - 5,500rpm
225 Nm - 3,500rpm
After installing with TMC
192 bhp - 6,000rpm
260 Nm - 3.400rpm
Wanted to go back to the same dyno after installing some goodies, but the dyno master went back to Japan to tune other cars, thus decided to go to another dyno company instead.
After installing other goodies like
BMC CDA
Audi S3/Golf R Intercooler
Bastuck Exhaust
its time for another run. This time on a different dyno company. The results are as follows.
Assuming only with TMC (Default at setting 6)
Before
192 bhp - 6,000rpm
260 Nm - 3.400rpm
(Assuming 1.2x power loss when measured at wheels)
After installing the goodies (listed above)
220 bhp - 5,600rpm
316 Nm - 3,000rpm
(Assuming 1.15x power loss when measured at wheels)
The ride feels powerful. Power delivery is superb.
After using the TMC for a while, I decided to switch to Dr Hannson piggy back chip. Some call it "Pigson" while some says its "Peggy" etc. All I know is, its a chip that can be customised to suit your needs. Currently, I am still on standard setting (default at 4).
Here are the results.
Oh ya, I also a bit backside itchy and took out the TMC previously and did a run to see how much power the car had lost.
With 3 goodies only (dotted blue line)
193 bhp - 5,600rpm
273 Nm - 4,500rpm
(Assuming 1.15x power loss when measured at wheels)
Together with Dr Hannson Piggyback chip (Blue solid line)
223 bhp - 5,600rpm
318.9 Nm - 3,700rpm
(Assuming 1.15x power loss when measured at wheels)
TMC (blue solid line)
220 bhp - 5,600rpm
305 Nm - 5,000rpm
(Assuming 1.15x power loss when measured at wheels)
Comparing Dr Hannson Piggyback with TMC, the difference is 3 bhp, 2 Nm torque gain. Power wise, the TMC feels more linear and slightly more powerful at the lower rpm. As for Dr Hannson chip, the lower rpm feels lesser power but when the surge comes in, the "G-force" pulls is much more exhilarating. Haha, I felt that should be the way a turbo charged car should behave. Not too sure about a twin charged one since the supercharger should already eliminate the "turbo lag".
Connection wise, the TMC takes reference with 3 sensor points namely, Boost Sensor, Intake Manifold Sensor and Cam Position Sensor. Dr Hannson chip has an addition Wastegate Sensor on top of the other 3 sensors mentioned. Using my defi boost meter as gauge, the TMC spike at 1.7 bar while Dr Hannson chip spike at 1.6 bar.
Now, I wonder what will happen if I were to do custom tuned on Dr Hannson Chip or change the jumper setting from 4 to 5 or maybe 6...
Haha...
Poisonous yeah?

My 1st attempt on multiple exposure
This could be my 1st time I've successfully done a multiple exposure.
Suddenly, Singapore had another 2 more flyer...
Enjoy the picture..

Creating my cover photo on my Facebook account
Recently, I had been taking a fair bit of landscape shots. With the new Timeline feature on Facebook, I attempt to search for one within my collection.
Finally, found one that's suitable...
This original picture aims at its reflection of Singapore City, from MBS to Fullerton. But with a little too much blank spaces on the top.
I did a little crop on the upper black sky and finally ended with this.
A further crop of the lower reflections resulted in my cover picture on my Facebook account.
Sometimes, you don't need to do photo snitch to capture a panoramic view, but you do need a ultra wide angle and crop away some top (and/or bottom) to make it looks like one...
