Great info and pics, Steve
That's great - been wanting to fit one for a while - very concerned about the sludge build up as I'm currently doing about 20 - 25k a year in the ED30. Am glad this kit seems to fit under the original engine cover. Am put off by any products that do away with the cover. The TFSI is not the most "aesthetic" of engines. Wonder what the main dealer will say when it comes to service time.
Regards,
Gareth
....I also did 20k this last year (and averaging about 16k the previous 3 years).
I agree about the fugliness of the engine without a cover - Unless you've modded it like jonnyc did his : -
However, this EVOMS cover is available - You add your own centre strip : -
VW dealers definitely vary in their attitudes towards mods. Mine has always been extremely friendly but I have actually given them the extra business of fitting some of my mods. Now I mainly use VWR who have recently become an officially approved servicing dealer and they obviously understand modded GTI's!
