Hi,recently posted in the new members section and since have done a LOT of reading! The ed I bought is on an 07 plate with 35k and just wanted to get some feedback from members and all about what I should be replacing. I will be going stage 1 re-map when warranty runs out so wanted to get the car in tip top shape beforehand.
1. Cam belt/chain kit
Should I replace this as I know it has only done 35k or will age be a factor in this,I usually do replace this kind of thing early on purchase of a new car for peace of mind but would I be wasting money?
2.DV
Have read an awful lot about these failing and the upgrade to a Rev G,once again I'm a noob to the gti so I wouldn't know if I'm lacking in power or if it is actually faulty so is it worth upgrading regardless?
3.PCV
another thing that has popped up in a lot of gti chat is the PCV. Same as before,wouldn't know if this was faulty but as I've got a few quid to spend would this be a necessity or a peace of mind repair and worth doing?
4.WHAT ELSE
anything else that I should look into or may want to consider that anyone has had issues with,please let me know
Thanks for reading and am very thankful in advance for any replies.the car is cosmetically pristine (maybe a wheel refurb needed) but just wanted to get the mechanical side of things up to scratch before adding more power..go easy on me...I'm a noob!!
