I've heard US guys using the regular GTI / 2.0 tfsi 200hp one. That one was more expensive by about 100 euros. It was my tuner that suggested that I get this diesel one, they use it on all their dq250 cars when it's time to change apparently.

Wheels arrived yesterday so I've fitted them and painted the inscriptions on them. Tires are Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ 225/40/R18 and the rims themselves are TEC Speedwheels GT Evo 18x8 ET45. The front sits perfectly flush but the rear needs a 5mm spacer. I chose not to get different sizes so I can swap the fronts with the rears when needed.
I honestly cant decide whether I like it with or without the painted inscriptions..

Recently been getting a rattling noise when the engine is hot at idle. The noise appeared to be coming from the cam chain area, but that was done a few years ago.
Well I decided to check it and took the cam case etc off to inspect. The tensioner and chain all looked fine, but then noticed one of the cam oil rings was broken.
Replaced just the one as the other two were fine and put it all back together with new elring seals.......back to a healthy sounding TFSI again.

102k, MOT pass with no advisories :congrats:
Also had the following done
* Minor Service
* Fuel filter - looks like it had never been changed from the history
* Pollen Filter
* Rear pads
* New coolant expansion tank - integral sensors were giving dash errors over winter
Now the odd part..I had asked for a brake fluid change, but apparently the bleed nipple on the rear discs were seized, and they can easily break which would mean new calipers, so they were not keen to progress. I said, ok leave it for now, I will look into that.
So, my Qs are
* Doesn't having rear pads changed require a bleed?
* Are they correct on the possible/probable bleed nipples breaking and needing new calipers if so?
* Is there a way to free them up?
* How much approx. are new rear calipers fitted?
EDIT -> The above now has its own thread, ta https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,134406.msg1164332.html#msg1164332
TIA :happy2:

My replies are:
1. Not necessarily
2. Kind of, they could be drilled out but the labour cost would possible make recon calipers more cost effective.
3. You could try soaking around them with something like Plusgas for a few days to see if that would help.
4. Sorry don't know but ECP show the calipers at around the £140 mark each.
