so people sunday I gave the car a bit of a clean but I only had a couple of hours so sadly couldn't detail it but still not bad results
Then on Monday I fitted some NGK Iridium BKR7EIX spark plugs as they needed replacing so I thought id upgrade them. Now for the really bad news it seems my timing chain likes to rattle a lot once the engine is hot and it chatters sometimes on startup :/ so ive ordered a genuine chain and tensioner and gaskets etc ready to do it I'm just hoping its not oil pressure related as my mate is an audi master tech and he did suggest that's what it could be :( also if anyone has the cam locking tool and they wouldn't mind lending it out for the cost of postage it would be really appreciated.

more bad new for the golf today :sad1: not a good first week of ownership, got the cam chain cover off and I was greeted by this
top ring had shattered on the chain covers variable valve controller :slap: rang tps and they want £360 for a new cover and said the rings cant be brought separately :confused: after a bit of research on the internet I found a vw part number 06f-198-107-a which I'm hoping is going to fit, theyre getting delivered tomorrow so will let you no.
please guys tell me there is some enjoyment in owning a mk5
