Did you do the Seafoam yourself ? There seems to be conflicting info on both. Would be good to get a few more mpg, as mine struggles to return 30mpg, even when I'm driving Miss Daisy....

Without actual evidence it is impossible to say which is better so could not actually recommend either one. From my thoughts though I'd have to say SeaFoam DIY just for costs!! As I said I wasn't able to get a clear picture of the before and afters but from my impressions of driving the car and the trip computer info I really haven't noticed a big difference between the two. The big worry with DIY seafoam is hydro locking the engine which would be bad, but if your confident to try it the costs are considerably less than terraclean. With SeaFoam I got an improvement of around 2MPG but only really lasted a couple of weeks then back to normal. I'v only just had the terracleaned so don't know how long the effects will last. I will update when its got a few weeks driving done :happy2:

I didn't know 100% but Awesome were quite confident that as I had a 2008MY car, highline display and LUX pack from factory it was more likely to be ok. IFAIK if the car has LUX pack (follow me home lights, puddle lights etc) from factory it needs a 30byte CCM so should be ok.

Little update...... I bought an S3 brake kit from a member a while ago - its been gathering dust in the garage for months so decided to get it on.
Vented rear goodness
All on
New dirt guard and fronts on
Fronts fitted
Rears fitted
Before fitting I had the disks skimmed as there was a small lip on them. Been for a test drive and already the stopping power is noticeably better. Needs to bed in a little still but very happy so far with the improvement
