I see, that is shocking if it is the same and there can't be many 5 door white DSG edition 30s. Hopefully you'll get a better car Dwaine (cool name btw). I await pictures....

this seems to be a hot topic! I got it from a garage down the road!
I'm still stripping my mk4 off all the bits I put on it, 4 full days of graft so far. I need to get my machine polisher out and a proper going over to sort the paintwork out before I have my name to any car pics!

....Don't drive it as an auto! Pop it into M-mode and think manual and paddle shift exactly when you would in a conventional manual. Use D-mode for traffic queues and 30/40 mph urban cruising. Experiment switching between all modes including S. It's a learning curve but after 1,000 miles or so you'll grow to love it.

Its just turned me lazy! its going to take some getting used to mind. I seem to have an invisible clutch peadle all the time?
The 's' mode seems a bit much for around town. feels like I'm killing the car every change. Do all the dsgs have launch control?
I'm going to try to get used to the dsg first, then go down to revo. Do I need to change diverter valves etc, or are the oem ones better than the mk4s? Also thinking about the forge twintake, rns 510....... I said I wasnt going to do anything to this car aswell?!I'll end up with exhaust, fuel pump , stage 2+ within a year no doubt. then I've got DaveB telling me that my standard brakes are useless, I need to buy bigger ones off him again....
What are the dsg gearboxes like coping with extra power then? will I end up upgrading or not? I know pretty much everything about mk4s, but just decided to move up a mk without any research!

What are you hassling this guy for Steve. Even if it is the said car it cant be his fault if Kits candy has sold it to him. You need to be hassling Kits candy  :stupid:

As i said TC, in my 1st message on here, its nowt to do with heavyD.

But a simple photo is a simple request if its is brought from a garage that wasnt even advertised for sale anywhere.

Then if it is, then kits candy has an huge apoligy to make to dwaine.

If it isnt the same car, then i eat lots of humble pie chap.

My neck and rope. :happy2:

I wouldn't like to join a forum and have someone accuse me of being part of a dodgy deal, then have them demanding pics.
As i have said your beef is with the seller, not the buyer, if the guy doesn't want to put pics up then he doesn't have too.  :happy2:

Isnt exactly a scary request is it??, most people that join a forum like to show a photo of the new pride and joy tom.

Like every says at this point

 :worthless:

If someone doesnt have anything to hide, then a pic qould surely make the person asking look stupid.
So tom, heres hoping that a photo is posted so this happens .

Its no skin off my nose, but i know how upset Dwaine was and you dont. :happy2:

 I wont " badger " any further as you say to keep forum etiquiette

Steve I'm sure Dwaine will get over it mate. Have you not heard of destiny? Maybe he will find something better/cheaper? Not the end of the world either way and no one has died so lets not get our handbags out just yet!  :laugh:
