Washing paint off my wheels:

Been bubbling for a while from a bad quality refurb by previous owner and paint finally broke now.
Wedding to pay for in December so I'm gonna have to live with it till it's time for the winters to go on.
Hopefully get some wedding ££ towards a refurb! :sad1:

Wow thats really bad Tanner!

I would move that wheel to a position I dont have to look at much, as it would really hurt every time I saw it.

Just stated having the dreaded "lost power" issue that I've heard about and with the codes showing a lamba issue and running rich based on the OBDII codes. So in for a VCDS check tomorrow and then start the MAF / Coilpack / Plugs investigation!  :confused: Could really do without this now as we've just bought a new house that will swallow all funds!  :signLOL: yeah that's what SWMBO believes!  :evilgrin:

Took out the new radio and swapped the old one back in, in anticipation of tomorrows visit to get the car valued for a part-ex. Very generous offer it seems but I think he's giving lip service. We shall see.

I noticed that I'm averaging 29.3 mpg over the last 1k miles since my last boost adjustment  :happy2:

Power and torque feels much better now with less boost.

Boost is now 18.8 psi - down from 23 psi at red-line.

Fitted the forge short and side shifters with the 42 Draft Designs bushes. :)

Much nicer and shorter shift now.
