I’ve got Parker’s and will sell them, just need cleaning first.
Some folk say keep the original wheels as gives the car more value when you sell. I’ve got no intention of selling so they’ll just gather dust and take up space.

I’ve always kept my original alloys. When I part exchanged my mk6 GTD some years ago against a new VW, the VW dealer I bought the new car from wouldn’t take it in part exchange against the new car without the OEM factory alloys, even though the alloys on the car were (at the time) the quite highly sought after VW Rotary alloys from VW’s accessories range. I had no problems selling the Rotary alloys though. I’ve sold two other sets of alloys from previously owned cars too and both sets sold very quickly for the full advertised price, although they were in unmarked condition.

So keeping the original alloys is something to consider for anyone contemplating changing theirs.

Also, don’t forget to tell your insurance company if you change your alloys as it’s considered to be a modification. Some insurance companies won’t charge an additional insurance premium, whereas others might make a nominal charge.

Yeh I’m in the same boat Iv had two of them refurbished but cannot be doing with the issues that diamond cut brings with the white worm corrosion, they look nice when there in good condition but it doesn’t seem to last, even cm wheels are doing a knock off version which look identical for the fraction of the price.

I personally wouldn’t buy low cost ‘knock off’ diamond cut alloys. Low cost might mean lower quality finish, and if they’re diamond cut there’s a very good chance they’ll also succumb to the almost inevitable white worm corrosion - probably sooner than (higher quality?) OEM diamond cut alloys will.

If I was considering a set of alloys from CM Wheels, they’d definitely be with a painted / powder coated finish - much more durable than non diamond cut and should be able to withstand what the UK’s winter weather and road conditions throw at them.

I've got Revo stage 1 ECU and TCU. When I had mine done the SPS was like rocking horse poo to get hold of, picked one up off eBay for ~£50 I think it was.

The SPS only tells the ECU to use setting 1, 2, 3, or 4, the map settings are stored in the ECU.

For my Mk7 the settings are as follows.
1. Stock
2. Remapped for 95 RON
3. Remapped for 99 Ron
4. Anti Theft.

Stickers arrived today, look like they won’t fit but for what they cost they can stay in the cupboard with all the other Ali Express tat I’ve bought and never used.

They should add a dye to the gas which will allow them to detect the leak with a UV light. Pretty basic AC stuff.
If they are working on you AC and do t have e this basic equipment, please find somewhere else

They have done all this, the dye is not showing up anywhere that was visible. It held pressure, and held a nitrogen vacuum test, hence the difficulty in identifying a leak...
