Hi all,
I thought it was time I made a proper intro; seeming as I have asked for a fair bit of advice since owning my gti. I have owned plenty of German cars before and have always loved the GTI, so a few months back I went and bought one. I wont lie, since owning the car I have had to do a fair bit of investigation to find out the exact spec, as it has had some modifications by the previous owner. After digging around and cross referencing every part here is what I am running
Since my ownership I have completely overhauled the car, changing the oil pickup, fitted a new sump, a loba HPFP, serviced, new CV boots, blue motion undertray and awaiting a mapping!
Current Spec:
Engine• 2.0T TFSI BWA Engine

• Creation Motorsport PCV delete
• Darkside 3 Bar Map Sensor
• 5w-40 Gulf Competition Fully Synthetic Ester Racing Oil
• Greddy Magnetic Sump Bung
