Spent the last few days flipping through all hundred and seventy odd pages of this!

Always had a massive soft spot for these, yours is truly outstanding though

Inlet valves at 70k;

Screamer pipe

I've seen worse valves on the forum, but those definitely needed a clean 

Did you have any lumpiness at idle or any other symptoms of dirty valves?

[Tfsi_Mike]

Not particularly. Not as noticeable as when injector 3 needed replacing anyway, that was a hiccup at idle every couple of minutes.

Hopefully be smoother now anyhow.

Having custom/ AKS enlarged TB pipe, inlet clean, Runner flap delete, map update and WMI so hoping for a nice improvement 

Also having new rear brakes (Alloy hubs & 330mm conversion is in the pipeline but not yet), HEL rear lines, new brake fluid, New PCV, Cam follower, 2 lhary noticeable (but very annoying) dents pulled, replacement spigot rings for the TDs, Red Forge TB hose, N80 & associated gubbins removed and a grind of the front rotors.

I had a look at the alloy hub conversion but with the width and the offset of the Turinis it pushed the wheels out too far on the Leon, the only option I saw was to try and widen the rear arches.

What do you mean by grinding the front rotors?

Basically having them skimmed.

Alex is smashing through the jobs and reports that the Inlet clean & TB pipe have made a lovely difference mid range
