Edition 30 1707
« on: December 08, 2015, 10:16:02 pm »
Hi

Thought I would try put a couple of pictures up of my edition 30, might be a couple of old owners on here still ?

Got it back in April in fairly standard form....
Stage 1 map/dsg map
Anti lift kit
Quaiffe Lsd

Since owning the car I have had the dsg box rebuilt due to diff bearings failing :(

Recently had a miltek cat back and some Ap coilovers fitted, also just had the front drivers wing replaced by vw because of the rust  :happy2

Lovely car! Can I ask a bit more detail about your DSG re build?

Not 100% sure on what was actually involved, he did explain to me but that was a couple months back and I've forgotten  :grin:...

Basically on deceleration I noticed a couple of days after I got the car there was a horrible drowning/whirring noise coming from somewhere, took it to a few mechanics and no one seems to work out what the problem was and just told me to turn the music up  :scared:

It was only when my friend was fitting the coilovers he noticed the play in the diff ! Which also happened to be exactly a week before taking the car to Germany :(

Sorry diff bearing....

My friend noticed it while it was on the ramps fitting the coilovers, I've got a video of it on my phone but photobucket won't let me upload it.

I was told by one mechanic to just keep driving it until it gets really loud or something breaks  :surprised:
