It is. But that’s just covered in grime.

However, it has one disadvantage and that is that it is impractical. King red was much better in this regard.

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
« Last post by JSYGTI on 17 April 2026, 16:30 »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.

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

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.
