It seems to be a noticably smoother Steve, especially when changing down gear in M. Ive only driven down the M1 back home so far, so will let you know how I get on with it.

Rang VW to see how much an oil change would be.... £129 

So i drove to VW to pick up an oil filter, sump plug and 5L of oil... grand total of £36. My local garage will change the oil for £40.  £50 saving cannot be sniffed at

Does the VW stamp in the service book hold that much of a premium? 

I do it myself at 5k intervals and independent specialist at 10k as part of service.  Halfords & OPIE oils have regular deals 

[rich83]

Not really... because this is a interim oil change, when I get it serviced properly ill take it to VW in Doncaster (or possibly Simon) and get a good deal and a stamp

Very glad all is sorted 

[rich83]

Me too... Carl at revo was great to deal with, i should have gone straight to them in the first place. Uust fingers crossed that the HPFP seals are ok.

The ham fisted knob head who changed my oil has snapped the engine cover... and then tried to let me leave without telling me.

Good job i looked under the bonnet to check it all. 

I point blank demanded a new engine cover, so one has been ordered. I cannot believe it... utter RAGE at the mechanic who when i confronted him about it, just didn't seem to give 2 poo poos that he had snapped it "yeah, its really hard to get off"  RAGE!

Where did you go in the end Rich, Back Street Motors 'r' us?

Sounds like a bit of a nugget and probably not someone I would want working on my car. Hopefully now you will have one to chop when you fit the intake. 

[rich83]

I foolishly tooh it to clowns r us thinking they couldn't possibly mess it up!

Problem is that it's broken from the oil filler hole upwards.... It's no use to man nor beast.

The oil still smells a bit fuelly, so I'm presuming that's just normal as it's just been changed!
