Particularly for the VW Golf V, which is very popular in the used-cars market, there are some very attractive offers. At the Essen Motor Show, WEITEC's stand will feature a modified VW Golf V with the latest HICON GT Coilover Suspension and 8.5x20-inch Dolce wheels. The complete suspension, with adjustable spring perches, race spring system, and rubber stops with dust protection, allows stepless adjustment in the TÜV-tested adjustment range from 35 to 65 millimeters on both axles.

The WEITEC HICON GT Coilover Suspension promises a long service life thanks to high-quality components and galvanized coilover struts with an additional seal for optimum corrosion protection. The suggested retail price for the height-adjustable suspension is 749 euros.

Further information on lowering springs, sports dampers, complete and coilover suspensions, and Spring Distance kits for increased ground clearance, along with a regularly updated applications list, are available online at www.WEITEC.de.

The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which allows the driver to play with 203 hp and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft) when it leaves the factory, has received five stages of power boosting: 240 hp, 250 hp, 265 hp, 295 hp and 320 hp & 420 Nm (310 lb-ft).

Stage 5 consists of a B&B turbocharger, an intercooler system, a complete sports exhaust and an ECU remap. Fitted with this pack, the Bug can play the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) game in 5.6 seconds and offers a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

B&B also played with the 1.4TSI unit, which comes with a stock output of 160 hp, increasing output to 210 hp & 285 Nm (136 lb-ft) or 225 hp & 310 Nm (228 lb-ft) via an ECU remap, or to 240 hp & 340 Nm (251 lb-ft) using a tweaked turbo, a sports exhaust system and a new air intake.

The tech story goes on with the addition of a set of 19- or 20-inch rims, as well as a beefier braking system that brings massive stopping power.

This is a great accessory for families with small children--or for anyone who needs to back up in a crowded parking lot. With the camera installed, shifting into reverse turns on the radio screen and displays live video of hazards behind the vehicle: kids and carts, pets and pedestrians, toys and trikes.

ECS has published a how-to photo procedure on its web site detailing the entire installation process. The tutorial gives detailed instructions about hardware and wiring, and shows scan tool re-coding steps to enable the camera.

Tech-savvy pro-sumers with appropriate tools can use the information to self-install the camera. Others can share the information with their favorite auto repair professional.



This isn't just an accessory; it's one of the best safety upgrades ever offered by ECS. Kit fits MKV Golf models equipped with an RNS-based factory navigation stereo. For more information go here: ECStuning.

Now the AWD guys can enjoy the incredible drop and smooth ride of an Air Lift Performance kit just like the FWD crowd. This new kit uses an innovative design on the upper endcap that only requires a slight trimming of the original coil spring locating bump on the chassis so that going back to coils is not an issue. Another unique feature not found on other brands is the use of a double bellows air spring with a roll plate. This style of spring provides a better ride than a single bellows, as well as considerably more lift.

In order to achieve the lowest drop, the springs compress to an amazingly short 2.3″ height, which is more than enough to tuck wheels hard if they clear the fenders! And as always, Air Lift includes a comprehensive instruction manual to make the install as easy as possible. For those who just have to have one, an Air Lift dealer can assist in the acquisition of a combo kit for the ultimate in a low VW!
