Not today, but yesterday - my Millers Nanodrive turned up. Great service from Opie Oils @oilman ordered at 1:57 (2pm cutoff) on Monday and arrived yesterday morning. I did go for the faster delivery option as I wanted to be sure it'd arrive before Friday - off to see @rtechniki on Sat morning  :happy2:

Sad to be so excited about oil...

We know it's not the oil, it's having everything done before going for the remap. :evilgrin:

I can't say I've noticed anything different after changing to Miller Oils Nanodrive, it drove well before. Also, it was done with a lot of other engine mods.

With Nanodrive, LOBA HPFP, RS4 FRV, RFD, intake clean, bigger IC and bigger IC tubes it made more 29 BHP, from 243 BHP to 272 BHP, with stock map. It already had BCS TBE exhaust, ITG panel air filter, NGK BR7EIX plugs and R8 coil packs when it made 243 BHP in an hot day.

Complete rear-wiper from facelift model (aero wiper) + Golf VII heated washer nozzles with spray pattern instead of jets + revision G diverter valve.
The car sure feels different with the new DV! :laugh:

Me happy!

I got the one from Audi A3/S3 facelift.
On Golfs you don't really need this tweak, as you aready have the nice wiper.

But in case someone is interested, here are the parts needed:
8V3 955 407 (wiper arm): €21.8
8V3 955 425 (wiper blade): €9.3
8V3 955 985 (washer nozzle): €4.65
N01 508 315 (nut): €0.15
4G9 955 205 (cover/cap): €4.4

That's around €41 or £30.

New tyres fitted all round, 225 40 18 Goodyear eagle f1 assymetric 3 for £83 a corner fitted!!

They even did a free wheel alignment check and offered a discount on getting it realigned . Should be done this weekend after new springs go in.

So far they are quiter and smoother than the Falken and Hankook tyres I had before. Seems more smoother too. Will do a proper review later :D
