Took my car into the garage this morning with loss of power and oil disappearing at an alarming speed. Turns out my turbo is a goner. What sort of money would I be looking at to get it fixed? Would probably go down the recon'd route.

Was driving along at 30 put my foot down and heard a bang and now power. First thoughts were my turbo but mine makes a lovely whine which was still present. I have had a look under and can see the boost hose leading to the intercooler has blown off. How easy is this to replace yourself? I phone...

Had my Fr for about 2 months and finally decieded to get her dynod. The guy at the garage was very shocked when he saw the figures. Questions. Can this be achieved with just a re map? If it was the standard clutch would it br slipping? Or will it take a while for it to start?

Woke up this morning to a huge scratch down the drivers side of my car, starts on the where arch and goes over both doors and stops at back end. :censored:[:@] I parked my old car in the exact same spot every night outside my house and this never happened and now something happens to this...

This may be a long shot but when I purchased my car I noticed it had a parrot kit and thought excellent but it has a bl**dy pin on it. Does anyone know if there is anyway to overwrite the pin or somehow get into it with out a pin. The garage wont get in touch with the original owner of the car...

Well picked my car up on Friday and thought I would start with some piccies. I would like to take the Leon badge off the back, what is the easiest way to do this? Fishing gut?

Ok, picked up my mk2 fr 170 today. It is wet but would not expect this, it wheel spins up to 4th gear and is bellowing out black smoke. It has obviously been mapped I would say a bit too much. How do I get the car back to standard and will it cost the same as getting it mapped in the first...

Hope someone can shine some light on this. I test drove a PD170 on Friday is has done 90k, I noticed a very loud whining noise coming from the engine but was just told it will be the turbo spooling up which made sense but after doing some reading it could the turbo on its way out? The problem...

Went and test drove and purchased a 56 plate pd170 today, the car is not standard even though the garage tried to tell me it was. Thing goes like sh*t off a shuvel and has a really loud whining coming from the engine when it reaches 1500rpm. Does anyone know what the could be?

I am thinking about making a 4 hour round trip to go see a 2006 2.0tdi 16v FR as I have actually fallen in love with it. From what I can see the visual mods have been 18'' alloys, painted brake callipers, spoiler, front splitter and a different back box by the looks of things. These are all...
