Also i travelled down to Cornwall this weekend and i found that my rear tyres were rubbing on the inside of the arches when i was going over bumps i have my golf lowed but not loads i had 4 people in the car and luggage is there a way to stuffen up the rear or do i have to get different springs etc?

I think the rubbing is all part and parcel of slamming it ;) just gotta go over bumps sloooow - I get it too when I have people in the back.

Thermostat parts i.e thermostat and o ring seal plus approx 2 litres of G12++ can be got from tps for around £30 nearly the same from the dealers (unless you get a nice little discount  :smug:) fit oem genuine vag parts  :wink: oh and the top pic the part your asking about is the c.p.s sensor (crankshaft position sensor) for identifying cyl top dead centre etc
