Topped up the LSP and discovered a scratch on the offside wing.  :sad1:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

A busy month for my sheep in wolfs clothing...

APR Carbonio Air Intake
http://www.goapr.co.uk/products/intake_carbonio_20tdi.html



Before


After




Looks good, throttle does feel more responsive especially at lower revs, turbo spools a little easier.

Audi A3 Black Edition 19" Rotor Alloy Wheels

The R32 zolders are just a pain to clean. Been after some of these for a while and they dont come up very often in 19" form.

ET43 8.5J
8K0 601 025 AR













They look schweet!

Darkside Developments EGR Delete Pipe
My car was starting to judder and smoke a lot. No error codes, but I suspected EGR valve.
Fitted EGR delete and problem went away.
Do need to get EGR mapped out though to get rid of ECU CEL light on dash.










Inlet manifold is coked in carbon and sludge, so need to give it a good clean when I have time.

Also want to remove the EGR cooler as it is now redundant.
