Don't want to take off any more than I need to so what do I need to take off?

Ordered some new GTI mats from vw today along with the dreaded banjo bolt, after they realised they'd been restocked, got some gti seat inserts from a nice man in China too :signLOL:

Hopefully get some mfsw buttons soon if I can find some.

Bit more info on my cam follower with the dreaded banjo bolt it wasn't too bad, managed to get in with a 3/8 drive triple square fixed socket and a knuckle joint adapter thingy but I found a ten mm ratchet spanner and that fit over the actual m8 triple square bit so tightened it up with that.

One thing I did notice is that you need to push the banjo bit up when trying to get the bolt in, I believe this is perhaps how people cross thread them occasionally.

The cam follower wasn't in terrible condition but it was up for replacement, so glad I've changed it now and the car seems better  but that's probably just in my head, there was a bit of creamy gunk in the pcv, is that something I should worry about ?

Might fit my Forge TwinTake tomorrow if I can be arsed.

Thanks to everyone for their help and info  :happy2:

Mines got a few scratches on to so I ordered some carbon fibre wrap from china off ebay. Hopefully it will be with me before 2017 ends  :signLOL:

How easy is it to get off, and the wrap isn't as easy as it looks and why from China, £18 off eBay and I've got loads
