Put my car on and came out with 100.1 bhp! not 3 weeks before it was lapping the ring in just over 10mins.

    My vr keeps failing the emissions test so got it on vagcom (autoscanner) and keeps bringing up 000525 lambda censor, So replaced the lambda with a Bosch one and whilst i was at it changed the spark plugs, oil and filter. stuck it back in for the MOT and it failed again. Vag com says 000525 again and if i clear it it will pop up again after a 5 min drive. So what else can i try or do?

    yeah its one belt but you can get 2 sizes, one with air con is longer and one without air con is shorter. where ever you get a new one from they should ask you if you you have air con or not.
