So are you gonna get it pro detailed?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

^^^I know how that feels. What's worse is when you find some damage like I did this morning! :fighting: Wayne kerrs. Or speak to JPC. Don't think he's as OCD as Marc but I'm sure he's just as good!

Damn!
Always thought the sump was not so much of a problem on the mk5 as the engine sits higher than the subframe?
Unless you frame took a beating aswell :scared:

i was pretty low but not more than normal, think something must have hit this one in particular before, making it protrude higher? i dont know, made a hell of a bang to, was lucky to get to home before all the oil leaked out over my drive.  :ashamed:

as for the subframe, thats took a beating all its life  :signLOL:

Hope you get this sorted mate. But you're more mechanically minded than me.

Can't believe that's what you've been up to! Hope you're not leaving the car like that overnight!

And remember to scrub it when you're done!
