Problem is it’s a big chunk on top of my TCR which I really like and seems to be holding value and potentially as limited in production. If there was a deal I would change without thought…

I'm really pleased with my TCR to CS change, saved a ton of cash against new with a very lightly used example with a great spec and it does drive better. I would've loved a red Ed50 but no way would I pay full price as the colour was the main draw. Food for thought?

Golf mk6 / Re: Timing chain tensioner

Good idea, I guess having the whole thing done makes more sense, especially if so much has to be taken apart for the tensioner anyway.

I’m hoping to get it looked at next week, I’ll know more then.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Thanks! Out of interest what products do you use for this?

Autoglym Interior Shampoo on a damp microfibre cloth - I am sure there are better products but this works well in my experience.

Anyone have experience of alcantara steering wheels in terms of how they wear compared to leather. Would likely go for one of these if I do trader the TCR, but have concerns on if it will stand up to date to day usage as well. *I tend to keep my cars well beyond 3 years (see my TCR as example)

I considered the same when ordering but the art velour wheel looks great. I did some small research and some state treating with GTechniq smart fabric from the get go would be a good start to life.

The flip side is of course apart from being hard to book into (they are all currently dealing with a major recall for several vw models at once...) is that they will try to tell you that your brakes, tyres and god knows what else need replacing and pressure the hell out of you to agree to it.

so true... had my mother in law's new t-roc serviced last month, all the usual stuff but they did ring her, asking her whether it was alright to also change both front blade wipers for something like 100 quid, i believe she must still not know how to operate those wipers so it's a miracle how parts need changing from new even if they have not been used :shocked:
