Just had a price off tps. £46+vat for the G.

I've owned the car for a while and I'm getting work done next week so will replace a few maintenance bits. Be handy if I decide to sell too.

Ordered. Assume relatively straightforward to fit

Yeah it’s a piece of cake. I had a rev G fitted by R-Tech in Nov last year. I feel like the cars lost a bit of power and I’m hearing whistling noises on acceleration so need to inspect mine…..

Also check the boost pipework for leaks as there are many causes of turbo whistle.  The worst one being the turbo itself, unfortunately.

I only said that because I've had to buy a new one myself for the same reasons.

My last 3 oil changes have had gold flecks in it, not loads, but enough to point the finger at turbo bearings.  Plus the whistling noise, reduced power/response, increased lag, reduced mpg.....

I'm glad the flecks weren't silver/copper coloured as that's far worse. New engine time.

Well all being well by next week

Wheel refurb.
Dv.
Oil change etc.
Maybe the steering rack. May go with the gen 3 off western power steering. I have someone who can code. Assume the gen 3 would be as straight forward to code as the 2?.

Then decide wether to sell and by a megane 250 or maybe we a newer golf.

I'm not sure you'd like the Megane for long once the novelty wears off.  They're a bit, erm, French  :grin:

I can recommend a MK6.  Really nicely made cars compared the MK5 and not too new, so that everything needs a laptop to fix like the MK7 & 8.

Gen 3 is easy to code, you just need to tell the ABS module to use the angle sensor in the rack, and not the column.  Then you just set the driver profile, I think I covered it all in the Gen 3 sticky thread.  No Gen 2 still uses the column clock spring like Gen 1.

Cheers. I've noticed lately I can hear like a clock spring noise lock to lock. Mine is lowered on h&r springs. Tbh it's probably always been like this, just noticed it due to the yellow steering light on.

I've had quite a few cliosports over the years. Fun cars.

Great stuff, sounds easy and have a ramp in work. Be interesting to see what the old one is like.

I relocated mine to the K04 position. A lot easier to check/change, but only did it as a project when I had boost issues a few years back......still a nice mod though  :grin:

Yeah I don't think I could be bothered with jacking the car up to check the DV, so good move relocating it to the front VW  :happy2:  Although VW were forced to do that as Borg Warner didn't put a DV port in the K04 turbo for some bizarre reason!

I think K03s eat DVs quicker than K04s due to the heat down there.
