Never had them fitted and there not needed anyway, secure enough without them

Pull the cam/rocker cover off and inspect the camshafts for wear/scoring. See if there’s oil there and that it isn’t dry. If it’s an oil pump or blocked pick up pipe issue that’s got bad enough to cause top end damage from oil not circulating properly then it should be visible... If all...

I’ve seen ones at 60k miles look just as bad as engines that had done 100k miles. Not sure if it goes of how the car has been driven throughout its life or not. Every 2.0 tfsi I’ve inspected the valves on has always had bad carbon build up though regardless of mileage, some worse than others...

Assuming your engine is 2.0 tfsi then I think the jet/s your garage is talking about are the ones that spray the bottoms of the pistons not the cam... I wouldn’t of had the sump taken off without replacing the pick up pipe regardless of garage saying it wasn’t blocked... A check with VCDS...

What are you using to Plug it in and check for any fault codes? Some code readers will only show a fault if the EML is on and others will show a fault that’s present but hasn’t brought EML on yet... Also try running it with the MAF unplugged and see if there’s any change. I’ve never had issues...

I have thought about the btcc kit but the ones I’ve seen for sale on eBay are either in very poor condition or overpriced imo To facelift the front end I’m assuming I’ll need the following: Headlights Wings Complete bumper with grills Bonnet? Also has anyone retrofitted auto lights...

Hi all... recently bought a bargain 2006 Leon sport tfsi. Basically it’s a decent-ish car that’s only done a genuine 60k miles but the bodywork is very tatty. I’ve got a lot of experience with the 2.0 tfsi lump having owned multiple mk5 golf gti’s and I’ve also been a regular on the mk5 gti...
