if you dont mind me asking, what other probs have you experienced with it prior to the snapping for you to consider it being shi-ite
well a few months after fitment I had lots of banging from the rear and that turned out to be the arb putting too much presssure on the droplinks and Vw took the arb off saying it's the arb doing it, put your stock one back on and bet the noise goes away and it did. I took the arb back to awesome who were very good and said try the neuspeed droplinks as they are saying you should use these, put these on and all knocking had gone
for a few month until the arb started to make a few noises and was then greased up again at Vw
this stopped the noise for good but about 6 weeks ago I heard a clunk and somehow one of the bolt heads that hold the arb clamps in place had come clean off WTF
but not to worry I had vwr sort it out for me who now look after my car for me and all was well but then clunk snapped arb
to say I am not happy is an understatement but we will see what awesome have to say about it when they open and I will post up how I get on with them
