Both. But I'd start with a cold air intake. Then do the APR Tune. After you get a turboback exhaust you can get a downpipe file from APR.

WHERE IS THERMOSTAT ON 1998 2.0 GOLF VW?

Where is diagnostics port on 1991 VW Golf?

There is no diagnostic port on cars fitted with the Digifant fuel injection system as this system predates the On Board Diagnostic era. Once the ignition timing, fuel mixture and idle speed have been correctly set, many Digifant running issues can be attributed to the blue Coolant Temperature Sender, which is a critical component in the Digifant system. Check and/or replace this sender before investigating further on Digifant equipped cars.

Note that Digifant systems do not rely on a Lamba/oxygen sensor to control the air/fuel mix except on catalyst-equipped vehicles.

How do you adjust valves on a Chevy 350?

Assuming you have hydraulic lifters, most do, the process is easy, but messy. Get yourself an extra valve cover. Cut a strip down the center out. Or, go to your parts store, and get a set of oil deflecters. DO NOT cover the headers/exhaust manifolds with a towel, or rag, as fire will ensue. You will have to let the oil burn off. Anyway, start the motor. Using a 9/16ths socket, start at one end, loosening the valve until it begins to clatter. Re tighten it slowly, until the clatter just stops. This is called zero lash. Then, from this point, you will tighten the valve, or rocker arm, between a half, and a full turn. Go a quarter turn at a time, and very slowly, so you don't crash a valve into the piston. I would go three quarters tight. The most proper way, is to use a vaccuum gauge, and tighten to maximum vaccuum. If your motor is on the stand, or out of the car, turn the motor until that push rod is all the way down, loosen, or tighten the rocker arm intil the push rod just looses slack, zero lash, then go a half turn, and re adjust once you start the motor. Chuck....

How do you program the remote on a 1998 VW Golf?

How I programmed the control remote to my 1998 VolksWagen Golf:

There is a video that explains the procedure, I posted the link below and also wrote the steps right after the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsFEz67KXiM&feature=related

1.-You need two keys, if you only have one key then you can go to the dealership and pay close to $20 for one with the Volkswagen logo or less than $2 for a generic one.

2.-Take the control remote that you want to program (I have three controls in total). With one of the keys turn the car on without turning the engine on, just so the radio works.

3.-Then, introduce the second key in the driver's door and turn it all the way to the LEFT and hold it there until there are two beeps (about 10 seconds.)

4.-Then press a button on the remote control, press any of the buttons or keys.

To test the remote remember to remove the key in the ignition key.

I had the other two remotes in my pocket and they were all programmed at the same time. Also, one of the toggle keys in one of my remotes was not working, so I opened it and saw that the button to open the trunk was broken off, so I soldered it to the board and now it is like new.

==============================

I feel that is very fair business practice that if I buy a remote from the dealership the programming would be included, and that if I take my control to them to be reprogrammed they would do it for free with the hope that I will gain trust on their fairness and come back to do my work with them. Right now I will avoid their service unless absolutely necessary, and will share my experience with all my e-mail and Facebook contacts.

So the moral of my story . . . is to be wary of the mechanical services at the dealership.
