Mines coming up to a year in december had no clutch issues. Defo completes the package.

maestro turbo is one of my old favs. One of my naighbors had 2 stashed in his garage for years. Used to love em when i was a kid.

Thts how mine looks in semi dark.

Just came across your car on a tread and had to do a double take because i thought it was my car. Havnt managed to get side skirts yet but pretty much identical. are you running spacers or are the 19” wheels just wider?

Bit of closure for the thread. thermostat housing was gone. Signs of leaks and a small fracture to the side. Took to a vag specialist and all genuine parts were use. Had. New thermostat housing and water pump, new belt, odis scan, coolant sensor was changed again and they put the header tank...

Booked in for mine tomorrow. Got quoted £950.

Yes and no really. On the 1.8 the thermostat and waterpump are in one housing. Which has a tendency to leak coolant. Now the bad bit. Its a expensive part at £350 and 4-5 hour labour job. Ive got a quote from a vw specialist mechanic by me. An eye watering £950. To be honest i expected about...

On a good note i threw the induction kit on and it made a huge difference in noise for me. Can clearly hear the spool and diverter now. One of my mates has ordered one for his s3 after he heard it. I will be putting the airbox back on when the car goes to have whatever needs doing next and get...

An update to this. car has full coolant and showing p2556 coolant level switch. Other codes seem to have cleared. I also have a coolant level switch new to install in the new header bottle. also the heaters still blow warmish air but not as hot as normal. The car only starts to heat up when in...

No mate. So from the fault codes me and the garage got. We thought we best go for temp sensor change. Seems to have fixed an issue with the temp not showing on the readout. Coolant gauge DOES go up on standstill on the dash but drops again when driving. The other code was for coolant level...

A little update a few days in. i started the car up first time since wednesday when i had the map done yesterday. Drove for 20 mins and showed a friend of mine. All fine. Later that day started to drive home from work and notice the coolant temp hadnt moved after 10+ mins. Was waiting for it...

Pilot sport 4 tyres they real good in rain too. Proberly less than a 1000 miles on em. Only use my car on the weekend now as i use a van in the week. One of the reasons why i decided to go for the map in the end.

Yh the tyres are not tht old but its been soaking today. Im sure it will grip up better when its dry. All in all tho really happy with the apr map. Apr induction kit going on after christmas.
