Just to add to this (even if it is a little late). I was down at Statllers when Steve Jr found the the root cause of the problem. I almost sh!t myself I was that shocked!!

When the timing at the top was at TDC (top dead centre) the bottom crank timing was almost exactly 180o out!!!!  The marker on the crank pulley should have been in line with the pointer on the engine, but was actually at the bottom!

Anyways, really glad your car is back to how it should be and that Statllers did the business for you. That final dyno is spot on too. :happy2:
Golf R gone.

My god I feel for you buddy but I bet its a relief to have it sorted.

Did you have to pay all the £4700?

What with that and the last bill you could have bought a new engine from the Stealers :scared:

So glad its sorted for you.

I managed to get £300 off the garage for the work PDTuning did to sort the cam timing out, that was all. I'm just glad its sorted now. I'm now running more timing than I did before, and with less CF's on a hotter day  :happy2:

Fckin hell !! Great to see thats it back to how it should be, im surprized it wasnt worse given the problem, i hate seeing power tools and impact ratchets being used on a car - NO NEED !

Sound like statlers are the nuts, ive been on here for a few years now and heard nothing but praise, only a 4.5 hour drive for me aswell !

Hurdy has been singing Statller's praises to me for years and I wish they were closer than 5.5 hours fast drive away from me. Not that JKM, another small and fiercely independent specialist, isn't good enough (1.5 hours away).

Such dedicated workshops staffed and run by genuine enthusiasts (AKS is another) are invaluable  :notworthy:. Very glad to hear you have things sorted, Dom  :happy2:

Yes mate, very grateful to them, think it was only a 2.5hr drive away from me.  i also have PDtuning 5mins away from where i live, whom have helped me massively in the past, and sorted the car at the beginning of the year when no other local garage could fix it :happy2: Think my car has its own parking space, lifter and laptop as its been in there that many times for exhaust changes, EMLs and remaps :laugh:
Without the help of the enthusiast  tuners/workshops on this forum theres a fair few of us that would have been well and truly stumped by now :happy2:
