Forgot to add, when I replaced the spark plugs I poked my little borescope camera down the holes and took photos. Is there anything to be discerned from these? I think cylinder 3 does look a bit darker than the other 3 cylinders, but the spark plugs all had a healthy colour

So confirm it was a bad tester. I got a different one and it ran perfectly, 180PSI in each cylinder after 5 cranks. All good on the head and likely just a bad injector, new repair kit, inlet manifold gasket and injector on order and will fix along with the cam chain

Now in 2024
As the Mk5's get older the plastic pipes appear to shrink in length (I guess due to the hot and cold cycles)

Winter update just dropped, everything is slippery. Went to get some BurgerKing and on my way home tried to keep up with a BMW (I think). Safe to say FWD, no LSD and -5c on slippery roads dont mix too well. I'm on Vredestein winter tires but I start slipping even when just lightly coming off of a stop light.
