Next up I changed the cambelt and did a full service using genuine parts, getting the engine mount bracket out was an absolute nightmare: While the mount was off I fitted a polybush insert and replaced the bolts: [url=https://postimg.cc/

Hey all,
Long time lurker, seldom poster - I was hoping I could get some pointers on my newly bought Caddy (bare with)...
I have a 2.0 TFSI (BWA) converted Caddy which a previous owner has tuned up with KO4 turbo and other supporting mods, one of which is a blow off valve.

Jeez you nearly triggered my PTSD with that post title Yeah probably car having a fit from getting bump started. Besides, low oil pressure usually appears on a hot engine, unless something catastrophic like pump chain failure has happened.

K03 for city driving and instant response, K04 for highways and open roads
My K04 conversion isn'#039t complete yet so I cant say for sure if the finished car would act the same way, but the K03 has almost instant response down low compared to the K04. K03 can launch you from 2.2k rpm as if you were hit by a truck. K04 comes alive at 3k rpm or so but it pulls strong well in
Throwout Bearing Air Gap

I upgraded the clutch in my 08 GTI to a TTRS plate nbsp and everything was fine for about 2 months until my slave cylinder started leaking. I decided to get an aftermarket hydraulic bearing but i can'#039t get any air gap.I also suspect the OEM nbsp bearing was bottomed out based on the measurements,which lead to its failure. Is there anyway to get some space between the bearing and the pre

£2.8k is all in with mechatronics repair, clutch packs and flywheel while gearbox is out and recovery & return to collect which will be nigh on £500 I think.
I did contact another place and to fit a new mechatronics was £2900 +vat.
2nd hand box is another option but that'#039s a ball park 1200 - 1500 with no guarantee if it works ok, one place has said u can fi

I'#039ve tried the HG motorsport intake for the 1.4 TSI CAXA and boi do I regret it.
I was dumb enough to pay a little over a hundred euros for a shiny pipe and a filter that wouldn'#039t even fit in my engine bay. Had to wait around 3 months and send constant emails while they kept making excuses why they cant ship. Funny that right as I asked to be refunded, they were able

Hi all, I'#039ve had this unit for a couple of years now and mostly it'#039s great. The odd thing I'#039ve noticed is when there us very low volume on a track, the unit goes silent and the time index stops...until it gets louder and it'#039ll continue. There seems to be no real pattern to the volume, but it'#039s always very quiet passages. This doesn'#039t happen when my phone (Samsung Ga

Hi all,
For sale is my 2008 Volkswagen Golf GTi Edition 30 (DSG). I am the 2nd owner from new and have owned the car since November 2021. The car was near enough stock when I purchased it and I have upgraded it in my ownership.

In my ownership I have had the following maintenence completed:
- Serviced 3 times (2 full services, one oil and filter change). - Cambelt and waterpump. - Thermostat replaced. - DSG service. - Genuine cam chain and tensioner. - Genuine cam follower changed at every service. - Genuine oil pick up pipe. - Rocker cover gasket. - Genuine PCV. - Genuine Diverter valve. - Subframe spacer kit. - Brake vacuum gasket. - Varta E44 heavy duty battery. - New rear wiper switch. - New folding mirror switch.

I've just spent circa £2.5k on the suspension components refresh.
I have spared no expense on ensuring the car is mechanically sound.
Being honest, the car could do with the wheels being refurbished. There is general wear and tear on the car which is expected for the age, the car is approaching 16 years old. There are some minor dents and scratches. The front end does have some stone chips. The inner sills have some slight blistering to the paint. The MFSW buttons work intermittently but I have bought the new control module but haven't had this fitted yet. The cruise control is also intermittent and I have purchased a new stalk, but haven't fitted this yet. Parts will be included in the sale, or if I have time, I will get them installed before sale.. Front and rear dash cams & pioneer double din are not included in the sale.
If you are looking for a well sorted car which mechanically has been looked after well, this is a good car to purchase.
I am in no rush to sell, only considering selling to upgrading. No part exchanges please.
The pictures are prior to the installation of the coilovers, I will upload new pictures once I have detailed the car.
I'm looking for £11,495.00, I paid just under this when I bought the car stock.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Kind regards,
Sharif
