What did you and your MKV do today?

[Tfsi_Mike]

My Mk5 and I went for a ride to the dealers today.  The car had a pretty good time - passed it's MoT with flying colours, had a lovely service and some shiney new front discs and pads fitted.  This month I will mostly be eating beans out of the tin!

Glad it's not just me then

Heinz have a 6 pack special at Tesco, incase you run short of Bean "Surprise" combinations

Deffo not Mike.  It's due a replacement cambelt too but I couldn't rush to all of it in one go.  If I had, the rather attractive deal Steve has just highlighted would be off the cards too!

Day 4 of detailing the car. Started this morning at 9.30 finally finished by noon. It's been an epic stint, all done by hand and i've been blessed with the perfect detailing weather for the past 3 days - overcast but no rain whatsoever - because i had no garage to put her in if the worst had come to the worst.

Anyhow i'm very pleased with the results  , i'll post more pics in the detailing section tomorrow for anyone who is interested:

Yesterday after Megs 62 wash, clay, AG polish & AG EGP gloss:


Today after Megs Final Inspection & Dodo Juice Light Fantastic Wax

Do you know of anyone that has had to do the valves yet on their 2.0t fsi?

What's your miles?

59k, not sure the state of my valves, longer term I'll probably upgrade the valve train anyhow. I've only read of it. Jon tfsi has cleaned his valves.

What spark plug gap do you recommend for stage 2+ I seem to remember you mentioning it.  I'm trying to cure a misfire on cyl 3

I run NGK laser platinum's set at .025". They come pre-set to .032". I'd probably set them at .028" for a 2+ set-up.
Just stay away from the electrode while adjusting them.

That misfire isn't due to a bad coil?

I'll try swapping 1 & 3 or 2 & 3 but theyre new Coilpacks mate
