Bit of an updated, I've not done much over the past few months but this week its been with Alex at AKS having a few bits done.
It needed it yearly service and it was the full one so it had the oil and all filters changed, nology plugs fitted. It was due a brake fluid change so that was done and when I dropped off the car we decided to change the gearbox oil aswell as its never been done (another job VW don't think ever needs doing).
Whilst it was in last time having the exhaust changed on the ramp we noticed that the wishbone bushes had started to perish and split and it was the same with the lower engine mount and dogbone mount, so the wishbones got some superpro bushes and VT for the engine mounts with a full alignment after.
I'm very impressed with the feel of the car after all the work and it feels really good to drive. There is more vibration in the car after having the VT mounts fitted, which I did expect that as its a solid unlike the OEM option, but its only noticeable when pulling away at low revs and on idle but I only really noticed that when I was driving, when Alex picked me up and I was a passenger I couldn't really tell any difference. After having these fitted its got me thinking of other handling mods to do.
Now its all serviced and any maintenance work is up to date I can start planning my next lot of mods for next year, the main one being, although really a mod, is a professional detail and wheel refurb.
