I've just had timing chain kit (tensioner, guides, chains etc.) and oil pump replace for around £600 at a independent VW specialist. Not sure on exact figure as I had MOT done while it was with them too. Chain kit was replaced but they notices excessive wear on oil pump which could have been...

Yeh that's right they're just halogen, the ones I got are actually blue but shine white! And yeh mate that's right, no warning light for me with that set up These are the halogen ones I have for the inner sidelights: http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/321539237357...

This is the only picture I've got at the moment. This is with just the sidelights on. The outer side lights are just normal LEDs and the inner are just halogen. I think the LEDs are very bright for side lights especially compared to the inner ones. The reason I have halogen and LEDs are to...

Yeh I'm just going to go in and tell them I know it's a common fault so to speak and some garages have helped or paid for people's work to be done. Just gonna see what they can do! http://www.*******.com/forums/index.php/topic/13319-my-mk5-12-tsi/page-2#entry137380

Thanks for the reply, I'm pretty sure it had full seat service history. However the place I bought it from did a small service before they handed the car over to me, this wasn't a seat garage. I'm going to go into my local seat tomorrow and see what they say, if that fails I'm going to ring...

I've just booked mine in to have coilovers fitted soon at awesome gti, I asked if I'd need shortened drop links and they said if I was going 40 mm or lower then I would. Based on that I don't think you would but don't take my word for it... Hopefully someone can tell you for certain...
