Today I had the car serviced and hand-break cables replaced. My mechanic said my intercooler pipes are leaking again (only the drivers side) I’ve changed all the O-Rings twice now on both cooler pipes over the last 18months. I bought all Genuine seals and replaced the correct part numbers to the correct sides as one side is bigger than the other… I want to change both intercooler p

Update again. Replaced HPFP with a Hüco unit. It'#039s basically a Hitachi pump but with the Hitachi name grinded off and assembled in germany. After moving over the uprated internals, the pump seems to be more noisy than the old one under load. Cam follower was replaced with an INA part. Old one wasn'#039t really worn out but figured might as well do it.

Hey guys, recently I did some work on my car to replace the flywheel. Upon starting and driving it for about 5 kms and returning home, I noticed a very loud ticking sound from the engine bay as I reversed into the driveway.
Upon further investigation, the noise seems to be coming from the ACF. I have owned this car for 2 years and had never heard this noise before, is th

Just an update had the standard downpipe fitted on for the mot and passed no issues. Now at 140k miles I’m debating whether to throw some money at it or sell up and possibly import a mk7 from Japan.
Keep us updated on your decision about a Mk7. It'#039s something I'#039ve thought about
