It’s now thrown up a warning light. Book says emissions? But it must be linked google seems to suggest water pump being a weakness on this engine.

My 63 plate has been in the garage for this exact same issue - needs a new thermostat housing to cure.  You're lucky if you've just purchased from a dealer as they'll cover it. Seems to be bit of an issue, had mine done locally for about £500 including the water pump (which was fine but it's part of the same housing so might as well have it replaced at the same time).

Thanks, does seem to be an issue on this engine fair few similar on the web and probably the reason it got traded in!

The centre resonator delete looks interesting.

From the ebay listing:

"Please note , this does not fit GTi Performance model , we have a separate listing for this vehicle".

I had no idea the GTi PP had a different exhaust system?
