Re: Help understanding Springs and Exhaust

Where abouts are you? I have a 13 reg pre-facelift GTS with 35mm H&R springs, 12.5mm spacers on each corner and a non-res Milltek catback. As far as i am concerned the GTS is not already lowered, the H&R's do exactly what i needed them to do in reducing the arch gap and i cant believe a pre-...

Re: TWO INLET MANIFOLDS BILLS TOTAL £1200 plus.

Thanks BunnyJen, its not just the inlet manifold issue either. After that was sorted under warranty i had a water pump housing failure which apparently is another common issue. Had to pay for that one! For some reason they decided to make a water pump housing that is constantly going through cold to...

Re: TWO INLET MANIFOLDS BILLS TOTAL £1200 plus.

The car had only done 30k but VW told me the problem would not happen again as the fault had been designed out of the replacement part ...

Re: REVS GTS BUILD THREAD

Well after a busy week I now have the Milltek non-res catback fitted, upgraded gfb dv+ and Stage 1 live custom map by R-tech. Good job I was having the diverter valve upgraded anyway thanks to advice from others on here and the FB forum as the original one was knackered before R-tech started and had...

Re: Best for Black

I understand there's more treatments and more professional products but I wasn't looking for the ultimate. Just a few products that would bring the best out of the black. I'm more than happy with the results and maybe maybe 45 degree angles don't show 'jack' but it does show what I achieved with th...

REPLACEMENT WINDSCREEN

Had this fitted by Auto windscreens today and really not happy. Apart from scratching the paint on the pillar it really does not seem a very good fit to me. Also is the rubber trim on the top edge not supposed to lap over the edge of the screen, not the screen being stuck on top of the rubber? You c...
