Title: Edition 30 owner from Birmingham
Post by: inzain on May 04, 2015, 10:25:14 pm

Hi all, so I finally came round to buying an edition 30 a few weeks ago after plodding around in diesels the last couple of years prior to them I did own a 2005 seat leon cupra R which I thoroughly enjoyed but as I was doing a lot of motorway miles just wasn't appropriate. I've always had a thing for ed30's so bit the bullet and found a 2008 in diamond black pearl with 1 previous owner and full vw dealer service history the mileage is a tad high at 91k but it had plenty of history to back it all up so I was cool with that, thanks to the forum I've managed to gather info on recommended things to check and replace so I went straight in and replaced the cam follower, pcv to revision R and diverter to a revision G along with a service. anyway enough of me blabbering on ill try and get some pics up, peace!
