    my cure for stopping rattles

    I can only assume it's the plastic where the metal bars go into are to cause or possibly the metal retainers that hold the bars at different height levels. It is a real pain in the ****!

    my cure for stopping rattles

    No sure it will work mate I think its the plastic in the headrest itself. The only way to cure it is to replace the headrest. Ive tried securing the tabs inside the seat itself with material and it still does it :(

    cts turbo outlet pipe?

    Thanks for replying doogie, I wonder if the revo one is a better fitment. I have since found an Australian golf r website with people saying they are both worth it but I suppose I will see first if the discharge pipe is good and then I will do more research as the cheapest pipe is still £140ish...

    cts turbo outlet pipe?

    Thank you very for the in detail reply, I was thinking about buying the cts throttle pipe also but since you had a bad experience with it I think I will leave it.

    quick question about clutch for stage2+

    I feel the same way too, I have a facelift, I assume you do as all the stories I've read of clutch issues have come from pre facelift cars. I know the facelifts had better clutches but would not have thought you could get away with 15k miles. I was running boost 7 but changed to boost 9 1k miles...

    revo throttle pipe?

    Thanks for the reply, i understand the WMI point of it but with it being less restrictive what benefit will it have on a none WMI car? Is it worth me getting it really?

    Oil problems!!

    1.The blue smoke would be oil and since you say its been sat when this happens that would point towards worn valve guides letting oil leak into the cylinders and when you start the car this is what would cause blue smoke. The oil would leak in from where it was when turned off, in the case above...
