Seeing so many guys taking up this GB, I am pretty sure you'll get one off ebay for just over the £100 starting price as there will be no one left wanting one.

okay.. I read up on this (cos I had know Idea what it is..) and....I still don't!  but so many have signed up for this it must be something good.... can anyone put this into really plain English for me? So I can make a decision as to whether it's worth getting!

Muchos Gracias! 

With forced induction vapourised oil particles are forced into / onto the intake valves where they deposit and cool causing dirty build up of dry oil on the valves.

the pcv fix diverts the oil vapour to a 'catch can'  which can be emptied....

HTH

Sorry, but that is pure and utter BS.

Forced induction has absolutely NOTHING to do with the way the PCV valve works.  There are some exceedingly gullable peeps here if they think this is a 'valid product' .  Save your money any spend it on some thing that is atually NEEDED - as this absolutely is NOT needed!

T_T, which I appreciate you like to voice your opinion when you don't agree with a product or someone's statement. This thread is not the place to do it.

If you want to discuss this further please do so in one of the threads in the main section or your posts will be removed.

Hmmmm - looks like I am being censored!    PM to Admin sent!

^^^ Check your posts Sean. Nothing has been censored.

OK, thanks for clarifying. 

All I have asked is you (like everyone else) follows the site rules.

And I fully agree - but what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander - and by you allowing the earlier 'contentious' post to stand in this thread, but not allowing any right to reply - then it isn't exactly fair or reasonable.  I am more than happy to 'play by the rules' - but I just think that there should be some consistency for all. 

This would be a far more suitable location for your "pearls of wisdom" - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7001.120 or http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7040.0

OK, will do. 

Back to the Group Buy now please.

Sure, I'll zip it in this thread.

Ok Sean you have the floor all to yourself now

whats all the fuss about ?

through no fault of our own after relatively few miles and dependent on conditions the inlet tract on  TFSI engines starts to foul up.
dont think its just a high mileage issue , its happening to us all. 

heres jonnyc S3 8P (still the 2.0 TFSI) intake valve from a stripdown at xx,xxx miles :

jonnyc's S3 stripped

Erm, that is fairly normal for any engine.  OK, it may be a little crusty, but I personally don't consider that to be too excessive.  So why was the engine stripped down in the first place?

But a few other vital pieces of info need to be shared:

• How many miles has the car done
• Exactly what spec and brand of oil has been used
• What spec and type of fuel has been used
• What air filter is/has been used
• How is the engine driven (particularly during the warm up cycle)
• What kind of journeys does the car do
• What is the emissions reading from the exhaust gas
• Has any of the engine related warning lights come on
• Are there any fault codes stored
• Have any live on the fly data logging been carried out, particularly on the A/F and lambda readings
• Is there any history of overfilling the oil sump
• What is the oil consumption history

Because posting pics like that is really verging on the 'scaremongering'.

Wanted to do WALK

Get that.  It is very, very good.

as i have a suspect 'knock' on the nearside suspension I want looking at but keen to save

Front springs and top mounts need changing.  A TSB is now out on this.
