Re: DCC Shock Absorbers

I had an advisory on my rear right shock leaking.

I knew they would be expensive but that’s more than I expected, I’m going to look at going to a full set coilovers, it currently on H&R springs & it’s always driven in Sport mode anyway .

You need to upload your images to a host like Photobucket & post the "IMG" option of the images for them to be shown.

Re: Adding Iron-X to snow foam bottle?

Apply direct, otherwise your diluting it.

I use the kleenfreaks iron remover on my wheels & it's better than anything I've used previously, it's safe too, my Rotiforms look like new every time

Re: 2.0TSI Clutch issue

When was the car originally registered ?

If it's under 5 years, you should be able to get a contribution, I have twice.

You'll need full vw service history, & it helps if your on a monthly service plan too,

Re: Looking for some clutch advice from people with remaps!

Stg1 map is fine as long as you don't do crazy launches

Stg2 upwards it just dies, i have a Sachs Loba single mass set up in mine & it just soaks up the abuse the APR stg2+ set up delivers.

Re: Scirocco R vs M135i vs Golf R

Chased a Golf R down yesterday, he wasn't happy as I passed him :D

Re: 2.0 TSI GT Failed Injector 3 days out of warranty - £750

I had my intake manifold fail out of warranty, VW replaced the part foc & I paid the labour.

It's worth asking customer service for goodwill, although you'll need full VW service history to get it.

Re: How many chain tensioner failures on here?

I had a stretched chain, VW coughed up the parts cost, I paid the labour charge, still a wedge to lay out though.
