I just spent about an hour repairing about 9 stone chips on my bonnet (Deep Joy!).
Then after that it was treated to Full Tank of Momentum 99 abd a good wash at the hand car wash, the guys spent 20 minutes doing my wheels and did a great job.

Not sure if i have a problem, the car doesn't feel "quick" as i thought it would be, maybe it's because it's smooth?
I had a DS remapped Focus ST and DS remapped astra VXR which just felt rapid compare to the Golf

Hoped the old DV was damaged so i could put it down to that - maybe it's me  :confused:

Hopefully you can find someone with vcds and log the boost. Might want to post a request for anyone near you to help log it for Beers! :happy2:

Well, what did I do with my MK5 today...I guess nothing as it is still in the stealers getting all 4 injectors replaced (Piezo confirmed batch numbers). :surprised:
could of been worse I could have had them fail whilst driving !! :fighting2:
