Cheers everyone - car is going good so far, got it booked in for a carbon clean and injector service next week. Nothing particularly wrong with it just thought it was worth doing since it is approaching 80k miles.
Hoping to get a new headunit sometime soon so I can get the audio in it - just having radio and CD is doing my nut in :jumping:

Car looks great, congrats. If you don't mind saying how much is it for a carbon clean & injector service? Been looking on the r-tech website but can't find pricing.

Walnut blasting service was about £350 when I had it done at AKS Tuning back in 2018. My injectors didn't need doing.
To be fair, at 130ish K at the time, the valves didn't look bad at all. Just need good fuel and regular driving/heat to keep them clean. Well, not spotless obviously, but cleaner than they would be if just doing short journeys on supermarket fuel.

Cheers, yeah loving it at the moment like! Nice to be back in a MK5, even coming from a mk7.5 this just feels nicer to drive and more connected.
I'm getting it done at a place local to me called decimal tenths, it's costing £375 if there's nowt wrong.....then I think they said £200 per injector if there's any faults with them that can't be repaired.
Will let you know of the outcome 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Well, car has came back with its injectors serviced (there was actually nothing wrong with them)
This was also the result of the carbon clean:
I also had the thermostat changed as it was sticking and the car was not getting up to temperature - all sorted now
Thinking of getting it mapped at some point in the future but next on the cards will be a DSG service - it's had 3 according to the history but I wanna be sure so think it's the right thing to do.
Cosmetically the car needs a wheel refurb and the two rear tyres replaced, I've just fitted PS4's on the front so need to get them matched up but it's been an expensive month 😂
