No, mine broke after the gearbox had been taken out and put back in for a clutch job. It was a biyatch to undo, and probly weakened it, then when done back up with the impact gun, it started to make the clunk. Took a while to find it, and we ended up having to drill the gbox flange right through...

If it is like a loud twangy clonk, it is almost certainly a sheared engine / gearbox mounting bolt, on the n/s of the car, you may not even realise it as the bolts seize in the mount but also snap so dont hold the mount in lace properly. A lot of drilling out required , tap the threads and fit a...

I think you will fnd them to be in the region of £1500 EACH new from dealer! If yours are worn, get them recovred. Stick some new Pole Positions in, and save 60kg in the process.

Its ASR. A form of traction control in ice. Even without proper traction control, they all have ASR. Nowt to worry about, in fact you know it's working! Basically it is the ABS pulsing the brakes to aid traction...

Replica alloys! It's like all these people with "CHs" now! All replica wheel stuff is potentially utter ****! It's why they are a quarter of the price of "genuine" rims. You had a lucky escape fella by the sounds of it. Do yourself a favour, forget the nankgong tyres, and maybe even your new...

I saw a very expensive 2l conversion bottom end, yesterday, that looked suspiciously like a 2.0TFSI bottom end out of a Mk5 GTI, albeit with a machined spacer about 4mil thick between the bottom of the block and the 18T sump. Head dowels were tapped through, to enable head to fit, but apart...

You have a PM Tom

I ma not convinced! I've seen K 03s with worse cracks than that and no "boost issues" at all! But it cannot be helping matters!

Why have you not fitted a diesel MAP sensor? They run up to 2bar IIRC?

whats the use though, if it wont then start the car? Surely only good for getting into the car if you lock the keys in, which you'd be able to do with the metal key since you need to have that to program the fob, anyway. So unless i am issing something, I dont see the point?

If your happy, so be it. But dont expect your joy to last. Over 100k miles on my golf Miltek, no one issue. Wait til you have to replace your stupid unvailable anywhere rubber hangers and find that the only way to replace one is to grind one of the twin metal hangers off, then reweld it, as this...

:whistle:

That was Maz. He left MIJ about a year ago..

The max pipe size they had was 2.75 when I had mine done.

This year. Junked it after about 4.5 months, could not be ***** with it! Easier and cheaper to get one done locally, more expense, but touch wood, so far not one issue.
