It made a massive difference in sound? a couple people have asked if i'm driving a diesel Gti replica the last few weeks! wanted to punch them both!! i think is worth doing now, how much did it come to without the adjuster being done mate?

CarlW:
Yes mate the sound has really reduced.. It cost me around £450 but that was with other work being done as well as.

JamieBiz:
Ah so its not going to bankrupt me, i think ill get it booked in and tell them to only replace the adjuster if they think it needs changing. they told me recently that with the mileage my car is on (65K) that it shouldn't need doing but i'm not so sure. they also said that because my engine cover is not on it sounds louder than normal, but i think that was just a lazy diagnosis to be honest.

Thanks Mate

dazza:
Don't think there is a way to diagnose/visually inspect the adjustor.

-AC-:
@bimbound did you end up getting this done?

Did you replace the adjuster? In the same boat myself but could do without replacing the adjuster from a cost perspective.

@Peskyjones did you get this done without the adjuster as well?
