  1. Engine conversion

    Then i hope the work goes OK and all is well. Also, save a little bit of money back, just for any "build" problems, as there are always some along the way, not matter how much planning has gone on! We have a guy who has sent his away to be turbo charged, and he has planned everything, and...
  2. Engine conversion

  11. Air Filter on First Service

    I checked my airfilter after having two services (10,000 & 20,000) and it was like a rock. All hard and full of shite. Changed it then but it was destroyed so i would say it needs doing well before 50,000 miles! (mines a oil burner by the way)
  12. Shall I buy: LEON FR or GOLF GTi
