i got 6 new ones in the R32 on friday. Previous owner had replaced 2. I asked when i was in about re-imbursing people who had recently bought them ( my mate toast on here is in that situation ) but they said its above them and you would have to get onto vw themselves.

4 freebies today for me from JCT600 VW Bradford!   :jumpmove:

Seems a bit smoother but can't say I've noticed any increase in speed..  Will see what I think tomorrow from cold..
