Yeah I would have thought so, me and my brother started to get annoyed at the whole situation and it was going dark so in the end we just put it together as best as we could and called it a day :signLOL:
I'm sure I will enjoy it but I shall indeed let you know how I get on with it :driver:
Did your fuel economy drop drastically? I'll keep an eye on that and report back when I find out something :smiley:

Not really sure what caused my fuel economy to drop? I've had a dodgy coil, fitted a 3in turbo back exhaust and the RamAir since the car was mapped. So I'm not sure which if any of those caused the economy to drop. But it's definitely dropped a good bit. I got just 280mls from my last full tank :surprised:
I'm fitting a Peron Intercooler soon and then heading back to my tuner. I'll chat to him about it and I'm sure he'll be able to figure out what's up!!
Enjoy your new kit!
sean.smithy94:
Awh yeah that could be part of your problem, perhaps a heavy right foot also? :driver:
Also here is a quick photo I took of it fitted yesterday :happy2:

Not posted in a while but I have an update, just not a good one I don't think :sad1: I've noticed at slower speeds I can feel a little knock in the steering but as far as I'm aware I can't hear anything from the outside?
But the for worst one, I've noticed a noise from the gearbox area, the noise goes when I put my foot on the clutch but comes back when I take it off, there's like a what sounds like a clunk the faster you put the pedal down? My drivers seat can wobble from time to time and the gears can be a little notchy too, so I'm maybe thinking the DMF, the input shaft bearing or both? :sad1:
I've never had a dual mass flywheel before so I don't really know what I'm listening for but I'm not liking where is going.
My friend works in VW and can get the clutch and flywheel done for £500, that could solve the gearing issues but won't know the full extent till the gearbox is off. As far as the steering issue goes, I have no idea, but at the moment sounds like I'm up s**t creek without a paddle :sad1:
