At some point I will get it on the R/R to find out what it is at now and use that as a starting point.
Little things that are on to do list is find MK2 160 ECU/BCU as at the moment I have no boot release from the Keyfob or front fogs without adapting switches to latch switches, had to do this for Hazard switch for MOT
and surprised myself by bodging something simple up for £1.80 from Maplin.

Other thing is the VVC mechs rattle like an old diesel tractor when car is stationary,cant hear anything but exhuast rip when moving,
but it is noticable and I guess I may just get used to it over time as it seems a rather common thing with the VVC.

Dont have plans to put "VVC inside" stickers on it or 160 badges as I would prefer just to surprise anyone that wants to go against a ZS 1.6.

If you need a hand with that im sure a mini meet could be arranged!

Would be nice to see how the VVC ZS compares to a Twincharged 160 Jetta!
