    Clutch replacement recommendations

    Thanks for your help guys, got the LUK clutch kit, as thats what came up as a part match. Hundred odd quid cheaper than the garage were going to charge me, without VAT too! So a small win on a big job [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Forge 007 DV not recirculating properly

    Has anyone had the problem where the Diverter valve isn’t recirculating properly? It seems to make a higher pitched hiss at about 2-3k revs and after that point the DV doesn’t “dump” the air like in the lower rev ranges? So basically in normal driving 0-50 the DV works fine, after that im...

    Coolant Leak? LCR

    Just got a call from the garage with this exact diagnosis [emoji122] So its just as simple as the engine not getting enough coolant? Seemed to be less worse when i cranked the fans up to full, albeit driving like a grandma Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Traction Control Dash Light

    Turns out its the brake pressure sensor 2? The garage has advised i replace the sensor, wiring, housing and connectors for a mere £300 including parts, labour and VAT.....bit steep, probably won’t even need to replace some of those anyway? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Picture of my Big Mouth mod.

    Msm in Winterton near Scunthorpe, didn’t realise until i’d paid but the garage was in Max power magazine for its Mod work as one of best mod garages in the country.

    Picture of my Big Mouth mod.

    I confess to the fact that i got a mod garage to do mine, i showed them this thread and they said they’d rather do it properly. So they did a repaint and refilled all the gaps. I had a load of cash from an insurance thing so it wasn’t a problem forking out the cash

    Is this easy to do? Thinking of doing the same or asking a garage to do it if they are willing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Forge Turbo Hard Pipe Cupra R AMK

    Went to have the hard pipe fitted today but the SEAT garage said it kept coming off under high boost as the clamp supplied with the pipe wasn’t as sturdy as the original stock clamp/pipe, the ‘stopper’ through the middle of the pipe on the engine side is also missing on the forge version which...
