First post! Welcome :driver:
Congratulations on the new car!
I've my car booked in for a few new changes on Monday and I'm off all next week to give it a good going over. If you want to call up for a chat you're very welcome!
KieranR:
Thanks. Yeah I just found this site in the last few days. First on my list is a timing belt and water pump change and will probably do the cam follower. Think il let the main dealer do it all. Price is decent for the TB. Not sure about the cam follower. Might take you up on that offer to look at the car and pick your brain a bit once i get it!

Just to let you know, my cam follower is being changed Monday by an expert in the GTI field. His name is George Dalton and he's a pro at the mk5 GTI. The price for a cam follower replacement is only €65 all in so VW will probably quote you triple that! He's located near portaloise and I was referred to him by another GTI owner. http://vagdrivers.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=57780
KieranR:
Thanks. Yes I've heard of him. He actually carried out an inspection on the car I'm buying for me. Might get the TB done with VW as its the same price as him and get the Cam follower done with George. CAM follower is a totally separate job I take it and doesn't need to be done at the same time as TB?
