Re: Engine cleaners? Yes or no? Premium fuel?

I had to take my inlet valve off and clean by hand but, oh my god, the difference it makes is incredible.

Re: 1.4TSI Cold start hesitant acceleration

Re: 1.4 TSi slight judders when idle?

Its a pefectionist thing. It bugged me to the point where i didnt want to drive it as it would just annoy me. I took it to a local VAG specialist that i trust implicitly to have the work done. They spent 45min per port cleaning it all out with removal etc it was about 5 hours labour. About £400 tota...

Re: 1.4 TSi slight judders when idle?

My idling wasn't too bad it was at low rev speeds it felt a bit fluttery and read about carbon build up issue plaguing this engine. Mine is a 2.0 TSI. Tried all sorts to fix but in the end just bit the bul4let and had the manifold stripped and cleaned. Runs superb now even with 95k on the clock. Sen...

Re: 1.4 TSi slight judders when idle?

I got some before and after pictures of my carbon build up clean i had done on my Roc. It was about 400 quid but worth every penny.

Re: Volkswagen Renewal

I had 2 calls in a week from local dealers. Considering i've only ever been in for servicing and never actually bought a car from them i was quite surprised!

Re: Is this a fair price for a 2009 2.0 TSI GT DSG?

The new manifold is a bonus too. I just paid £400 to have my manifold cleaned out due to carbon build-up which is a trait of this engine. That sounds bit of a bargain to me.

Re: Meguiars dark wax

Meguiars is all i use. I love the Gold Class wax. Gives me an excellent finish but my paint isnt brilliant so once i move house and get a drive i can spend some more time putting it right.

Re: BT box and E MFA

The battery had died while i was fitting LED sidelights and lights in the footwell. It was while i was in the footwell i noticed the box. I pulled it out the car but had no resistance from a comnected cable. I've dug around and can't find the cable to plug back in. It seems the box was sitting loose...

BT box and E MFA

I was doing a few bits to my car over the weekend when i noticed a polystyrene covered box under the drivers seat. I pulled it out as curiosity got the better of me. I have read numerous posts on here and have since discovered what it is. The problem i have is, the BT phone options no longer work an...

Re: Battery user replaceable?

I killed my battery changing some bulbs and had the issue with the warning lights. Like you say, disappeared after short drive.

Re: Rear wiper on engine start

My skoda courtesy car has a feature where the rear wiper activates when reverse is selected.

Scared the hell out of me first time it done it.

RNS 510 sat nav

I just wanted to be sure but is the RNS 510 sat nav the standard fitted sat nav system on 2009+ VW's? I have similar systems in both my 59 plate CC and 09 plate Roc? The display colours are ever so slightly different but generally work the same. My Polish father-in-law can get genuine European Map u...

Re: problem or not?

Sciroccorich, I took the car to a local VW specialist who carried out the work. Was about 6/7 hours labour in total. I did get a quote from my local dealer and they were closer to £550 for the same work. U As for the Engine Carbon Clean company that use hydrogen gas pumped through the air intake, i ...
