Yeh did msg them tbf when I enquired about a timing chain and waterpump ... £2,200 🫣😅 I did try another vw guys they were £1800.

Timing chain is ok atm just thought would ask them the other week haha...

They said expensive as buy all genuine parts and a good 8hrs labour etc...

Didnt pay much more than that for the car from a friend lol..

Well last night went for a drive and ping engine light went off! Make your bloody mind up!!  Haha
So gunna risk the mot tomoz if stays off, and to see what they say what needs doing to it etc..

Has anyone ever had a problem with CM 18” alloys being slightly over the 57.1mm OEM?

I have a set of Queenstowns (recently introduced by CM), that are 57.7 mm……too big for safety, too small for spigots.

I’m in dialogue with CM who may offer me an alternative wheel in which case it would be 18” Prets.

So final question…..to any owners of CM Prets…are they a good tight fit onto the 57.0mm hub, espec on the back hubs?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

19” CM Pretoria’s fitted just over a month ago, no issues so far🤞
I spoke with CM Wheels a lot before I ordered and they confirmed a straight fit, no need for spigots.
Only issue was the bolt caps, easily solved with VAG 17mm caps.

Jeez ! Sounds/looks good mate! Haha

Got to work this morning parked up, ping engine light on ffs...well lasted 3 days I guess lol..
Had booked an mot monday so cancelling that while have light on 😳🙈

Have asked the garage to see if can get me in and thinking check the new plugs etc if gaps all ok amd coils in flush etc...

A smoke test to finally (hopefully) see where this air/vacuum leak is..

And thought looking on servicing info from last owner fuel filter not been done for a couple of years, Google says there are life time but lots say change 40-60k.. but if its not 100% ot won't hurt it I guess for a fresh one..

Tbf lots online saying more likely the intake has a split/gap or staying open or something, and poss leaky injector for the misfire etc.

Yeah I will be asking VW to change mine on the next service, I will also my requesting my gearbox oil be replaced (I have a manual) as my car is on 82k now.

Might be worth checking these guys out, they seem to be in your area?

My local franchise VW Dealer has quoted £500 which is about the same as an independent specialist quote I received.
Oil, filter , seals and labour.
Should tip over 40K miles after Crimbo driving duties so booked in for Jan.

Wishing you all a MC and a HNY.
