I reckon you've hit the jackpot and you'll be fine now mate
I can't wait to get my car back if at all so I can carry on with all the craziness I started but no idea how long these claims people are going to prolong the claim as the longer they delay thr more ££££ in their pockets.
Yeah my problems certainly pale in comparison to yours. Must be soul destroying
Guess you've just got to cling on and bite your lip til it's reached a conclusion. Just think though, once it's all sorted you'll be able to jump right back on the mod wagon and build that Stage 2+ beast!
Trust me on this, if you're used to stock power you'll be in absolutely in love with a good 2+ setup. I bet your old TT was quick, but the differences between a tuned k03/k03s 1.8T and a tuned k03 TFSI are really quite noticeable. The TFSI feels so much stronger. I went round Oulton Park in a k04 engined (BAM) mk1 Octavia track car a while ago, running 280ish, and it was much more comparable in terms of grunt to my GTI than any k03/k03s 1.8T car I've owned or driven in the past. And I'm still on a Stage 2 map.
Hang on in there mate, it'll be worth the hassle in the end!
