Got a major service, got cambelt and water pump as a prat calling themselves a "specialist" didn't fit an OEM pump.  They're based in New Addington south London should anyone want to know also didn't fit the cambelt right to begin with!  Not a happy bunny money lost money on mods. I am fuming!  Got revision diverter valve done.  New spark plugs.

Car should run sweet!

Thats one of the best things I've done to my car fitting that.  A chap called eddie-nl helped me out.  Don't know if he's still on here these days.

I've spoken to eddie a long time ago. I've seen a few posts on the forums of his name mentioned, but no word from him. That part number is the most revised for my car. While sat in TPS we clicked through all the old versions like what's mentioned in other posts. But this is the latest number to come up. It's £148 new but I want to make sure its the right one before forking out that much lol

Finally got round to painting the rear hubs with silver Hammerite.  They've been bugging me for years.


Shadow blue DSG 5 door with leather, sunroof, 18" Monzas, MFSW. 
Full list of mods:  Seat inserts and a VW bottle opener.  Each worth 20bhp.

@irish_ram Whoever painted your front bumper also painted it red behind the black centre gill, so it shows red where it was supposed to be black. The same happened to mine when I had it re-sprayed so I took it back to have that part behind the black grill painted black too. :happy2:

Your Eddy looks awesome! :congrats:

It's just the bit behind the honey comb centre top grill.

Mine was like yours when I went to the track:


Before I had it re-sprayed it was all black behind the grill:
