Sweet looking ride mate! I have a similar spec  :happy2: Wash her up nicely and post some more pics.

AJG09:
So today i changed my cam follower, wasnt too bad...



orderd a cat back system should be on by tuesday, then will get a downpipe when and if i decide to go for a remap.

since getting the car ive added the GTI seat inserts, DSG flappy paddle extentions, Bright license plate lights, and the matt chrome headlight and wing mirrior switch. Also got an aux cable/ converter thing on the way.

Gave the car a clean yesterday and its coverd in sap from the trees today so still yet to get any good pics.

Getting the car in for a DSG service soon and need some new tyres as the ones on atm are like plastic skates! :sick:

gewh:
I don't suppose you know how many miles that cam follower had done? Looks barely worn in.

AJG09:
I don't know how many miles. The car had no history of it ever being done so I did it anyway so I knew it had been done. The cam had no wear either and the pump was fine so no evidence of it ever wearing through before.

I would imagine someone had changed it before sometime in its life.
