....

neg - Yes, reconditioned / overhauled / rebuilt - Providing it could be done such that a 2-year warranty could be attached to it.

I've just been out to try and take some pics of the crack, but I think that because Jim has reassembled it, the crack is now hidden! I'll speak to him Monday and see what I can do to expose the crack for photography.

It seems Robin cant find his crack....  :innocent: :rolleye:

Once you have found your crack remember to use macro on your camera so we can actually see the crack as I assume its rather small?

Daddy cool!  8) :grin:

....All my daughter's teenage friends say I'm cool but somehow my 17yo daughter doesn't think so!

Dads are never cool are they!

She's learning to drive at the moment and doing quite well according to her instructor. She can't practice on my GTI though!

Robin,

Was it only the turbo unit you have replaced - any other bits along with it ?
