injectors loom?

Is it like a sirene? You take your foot off the pedal and it whistles? If so it could be cracked. Take it to a couple mechanics and get 2 opinions before you spend your money on anything.

Looking really good. How come you didn't spray the side mirrors black?

How much did the job cost if you mind me asking?

Clutch and fly wheel, shock absorbers, tyres, whats special about this? It's normal wear and tear for every car... I've got 115k miles or there abouts on mine, my OEM clutch is as of last week taking 270bhp+ and god knows how much torque...still not slipping..before that it did 240bhp for half a yea...

The set up is all done by them and they'll have a preset map for your engine if they already do turbos for that engine, so you can drive off straight away, however if you want to make the most of the turbo there's always space for fine tuning you just need to find the specialist in remaps.

The garage is in Manchester (google it and you should come out with an address in Mossley), the turbos are remanufactured meaning they get after market parts to increase performance needs, they also do (or at least used to) a 12month warranty and I suggest you drop them a message because they do ple...

I run 235/35/19s, no issue

Is it KMB that sell the kit for £240 or so?

It's not hard to get 240bhp in this engine... it copes well with it and I heard you can go to 260bhp before you have to actually start worrying or paying big bucks. An hybrid turbo is a must but there's plenty of ways to build power up... I will replace my fuel filter this Friday (couldnt do it las...

With regards to the drive shaft, I know this is a common problem however I don't believe in ticking bombs and right now thats an unnecessary £250 (think this is how much it costs for a remanufactured key?) ... theres hundreads of this car with 170k+ miles on autotrader who ran just fine, 1 with 320...

I totally agree with you and I plan on taking the time to check it out this Summer for the exact same reasons you mentioned. My driving style is not the calmest, and with over 240bhp on a 140bhp engine I think their will be a certain degree of wear and tear happening :hyst however I understand metal...

when this issue turned up I took it to vw specialist (6 months ago) and they also mentioned clutch however they drove the car and couldnt replicate what I was telling them (utter bs coz the car juddered a damn lot back then and fuel filter was rly bad, i think they just assumed "its juddering, ...

yea and that was done years ago

Also, it could be me but the engine seems noisier ... I will see if I see my mechanic this week and if he thinks its injectors ticking or I'm being paranoid..

So my car judders quite bad at high rpms when under high stress, like when I have the foot down, which is always, but especially noticeable if I do so in hills going up, like in a bridge say.. So I've consulted several people and some say its injectors or fuel filter, I took the cheaper option (filt...

do a 0-60mph test, several times, record ur average, look at the results (tell us if u want) and you'll be able to know whether it is you or the car

I hope you're getting paid for this...or laid once its on.

stock sports, fk coilovers, eichback now... 35 tyre wall, if I was living in Germany it would be a dream but in UK roads its ridiculous, every pothole is a challenge for me as I try to swerve in between them... could be that I am just getting sensible, who knows. I might do something crazy with my s...

19's on mine and I can't wait to get them changed. It's been 1.5yrs now and I've gone through different suspension sets but the ride quality is massively affected by them... shame because the car is a beauty with them on. So hey ho if you want to buy a set of 19s you know who to get in touch with no...

Forums are usually filled with negatives as most people join because of issues You cant stress this enough times. A car is never an asset, unless its a sports car, people need to understand all cars break down if you dont take care of them and do the jobs they need doing, some unfortunately will st...
