Hi All

I posted a few years back (yeah, thread resurrection) looking for a great indie to service my CSS. The kind of place that does work properly and gives peace of mind.

I ended up having to take it to VW main dealer around the last time I posted as I couldn't justify a 400 mile round trip. I'm based near Cambridge so if anyone has any suggestions, be grateful for any recommendations.

I had thought of heading over to APS in Brackley, have an excuse to be in that part of the world. Does anyone have any views on them?

Thanks in advance.

I've always been happy with the work I've had done at Quattro-Tech St Ives, and they're an honest bunch of guys. They have a few branches

The one and only mod I’m doing to the Clubsport. In my opinion this is how the factory decals should have looked




Brilliant. I have located the sticker on Ebay - any tips on fitting it? Reason I ask is you might of figured out a good way to get it lined up etc.

Prep wise im thinking the usual wash process, decontaminate, quick clay bar on that specific patch then wondering if you did the wet fit process or not?

Epic job and I wish I had the stones to tackle a job like that.

I actually got some quotes for getting one fitted and best I could get was £550 - so it was a no for me!

As someone else said you could probably make a few hundred quid per one fitting a few of these.

Google reviews seem pretty good

70 4.9 star reviews on Google for APS, good reviews on Pistonheads too.

If you are based in Cambridge, Quattro Tech Cambridge 130 5 Star reviews?

Not used either myself, but I would either supply my own VW/trusted parts or check they do the same.

Thank you all for the feedback. I went with the PilotSport 5's in the end, influenced by the more positive reviews and the cashback offer. After the £50 back (I'm on 18's) a set of 4 was £373! A week in and it's already a noticeably nicer ride and much quieter.

Golf mk4 / For someone who knows this will be easy..
« Last post by IrishDave on 06 May 2024, 22:33 »
Hi All,

New to the forum and hoping you people in the know could help me out.
I have located an airline pipe that has perished and disconnected on my 2001 mk4 GTI.
When running all seems fine apart from a hissing sound and on investigation I noticed this rubber pipe has perished and disconnected. Iv worked on old cars over the years but nothing as modern as the MK4 so I was hoping someone could identify what this pipe is, where it’s going and even better, a link to buy a replacement. I have attached images. It’s the middle of the three pipes that needs replacing.

Thank you in advance,
Dave

With 13500 Miles now on the clock it was time to ditch the Bridgestone's and wow i wish i had done it sooner.

Went for the Goodyear Asymmetic 6  225/40/18 92y after checking out some reviews and they are 👍👍👍

The price was quite attractive as well at £328.77 for 4 inc fitting at National Tyres.

There is a standard 15% when you buy 4 but in the apply discount code box there is a 20% code you can add.



Good deal on those GY ASY6.

Car looks very shiny and almost wet, stunning when clean!
