He said he got them back and they just sat there and he didn't even look at them. Unless you're a fool like me your going to check if the paint looks okay or maybe he's like me and trusted the guy who painted them enough to not look at them. He said hey just sat in the box.

ANYWAY HE'S REFUNDED ME IN FULL

Just got to give the calipers discs lines back.
Glad you got your cash back mate. What a pain ey!
Thanks dude won't be buying anything without hard core inspection unless new now. people can tell you so much bullsh*t and in the end he should have just refunder me without the headache.. :doh:

Yeah it's a tricky one because it's the community that makes the VW game what it is, and without this community owning cars like a GTI wouldn't be half as fun. But every now and then some of us get let down. From the sounds of it I'd say he was just a bit negligent in making sure you got what he advertised, rather than an intentional scam, but all the same it's no fun when you're sat there with scrap and you're down on money!

It'll all come good in the end pal. It'd be no fun if it was all plain sailing!

A bit silly for not checking them before selling don't you think. I didn't check over fully ie pull the tissue out of the bleed nipple holes as I recall him saying they're in there to stop the fluid from coming out and me agreeing like a clown after taking one out and thinking shi* my hands are going to get dirty and then it'll be all over the clots and car  :doh: Should have really checked them all but being a trusting person I didn't bother and we got chatting and chatting and then the money got transferred and the bits in my boot and we said our good byes and I didn't check them again as I went out with my family and got home quite late.
When I finally realised the bleed nipple was snapped I still didn't click on to the part where it was drilled right down and there was no way of saving it until two days ago  :slap: but I had already made a suggestion for him to give something back toward the repair costs and he's reply he'll try and get some money back but not what I wanted to hear as I bought them off him not the guy who painted them. Made that clear to him and no reply all day so I sent another reply saying will have to mention this on the tfsi forum as you're not willing to refund some of the money back as in all honesty he is responsible for any issues that arise. That's when he blocked me on FB  :surprised: and I got pis*** and blurted it put on FB. the next day he replied but wasn't a happy person as he's reputation is now on the line and he won't be able to get advice or show his face there so agreed to refund full amount after all that  :phew:. All he had to do was say I'll sort you out with your money end of not play silly buggers and make up excuses.

Genuine R8 coil packs and hpfp cover fitted  :smiley:
Tried doing the RS4 fpv but failed as the whole inlet does need removing although I did manage to loosen the pipe to hpfp nut but that was a b****   :phew:

Have you got the uprated internals fitted mate?

Can't blame you for fitting that cover anyway, it's crying out to get damaged whenever the engine cover comes off. Typical "oh don't worry about that" VW design!

I probably did read it but my memory is terrible! What intake are you going for? Hopefully you don't get the same issues as before. I'm interested to find out how it affects things at low revs, and if the mapping then improves it if indeed it reduces response and torque off boost.

Should be a well sorted setup in the end. Pump and downpipe especially are must do mods!

No reason... Just saw the stock one in your photo!

I figure there's no end to your mods in sight so wanted to know if that was to be done down the line!

I'm the one with the terrible memory  :stupid:
I'm going for a Ramair CAI thus time and if I still get the same issue as before and thr map doesn't sort it out I'm clueless and out of ideas of what it could be as dv is spot on :thinking:

Thanks mate will obviously report all findings as and when  :happy2:

Ramair is quite popular, decent price too. Are you getting the oversize one? I might go for the Revo intake when I eventually get round to it. I like the fact it has less joins in it. Aint cheap though!

YeAh I did have the over sized one with the Neuspeed P-flow pipe but it was way too big for the space so had to cram it in which tore a little bit of sponge off it  :doh: it's the jsk 101 off ebay.

I did have a look at the revo but was mega over stupidly priced  :slap:
