What have you done to your Mk6 today then?

Look at altering the boot stops (they just turn to go raise or lower and also look at lubricating the rubber seal.

Thanks will have a go at this tomorrow, so frustrating

Guys, what's the best oil to put in a mk6 golf gti? I know this has probably been discussed before but just bare with me. Castrol edge 5w30? Or quantum longlife 5w30? Also can anyone say what needs to be done on my next service? Will be on 54,000miles by then. Just an oil & filter change? Thanks

You want the very best oil. every tuner, even mechanics I know, all recommend millers nanodrive CFS 5w-40 for the gti and many other cars including diesels, this is the best oil by far, theres dyno proven figures and it really does protect more than your average oil. if you want more power and torque and want the added security of running a thicker weight (but with lower friction) I'd get some, costs around £55 online with free delivery and is the best. I did dyno runs before and after I gained 4bhp (note mustang dyno so much more accurate), not loads, but worth it knowing I can drive on track and fast etc etc

Ordered some new boots for it, 4x Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. Have the old 2's on at the min so interested to find out how these new versions compare

Where did you get them from? Haven't seen them on any of the usual sites when I've looked.
Been tempted by pilot supersports after ats said they can do all 4 supplies and fitted for 460

Tyreleader had them in 225/40 R18 92Y and I paid £320 for the set

Just had my geometry checked and four new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3s fitted at Blackouts/Wheels In Motion in Chesham. Great place, left them this review on Google if you're interested:

Just got back from Blackboots/Wheels In Motion after I booked in for a geometry check and tyre fitting. Completely faultless service in my opinion. Work was carried out quickly and to a very high standard. No concerns about these guys damaging wheels during tyre fitment like I have with so many other places. Adjustments made to suspension geometry explained and printout received of before and after measurements. Very friendly and knowledgable staff. Waiting area is great, large windows all around to see the work being done to your vehicle, and TV, magazines and coffee all available to enjoy on the comfy sofa. Wouldn't hesitate to use again and highly recommend.

Too early to say much about how the new tyres compare to the old versions apart from the rim protection doesn't seem as good to me. On the geometry side, all was good apart from a small front toe adjustment. Will post a pic of the printout up later! Plus the car had a clean yesterday so it's really getting treated at the min! Haha
