For the first time in many years of owning VWs, I didn't take my car to a main dealers for a service. Instead dropped the Mk5 GTi round to Stattlers in Sheffield for it's 40,000 mile fettle. Great, friendly service from the guys down there. Whilst settling the bill, the conversation turned towards Stage 1 options and perhaps making mine sound a bit nicer. I think this could mean I'm finally about to step onto that slippery slope of wallet emptying!!!
