Golf mk7 / Re: Pilot Sport 4s or Pilot Sport 5?
« Last post by davo245 on 28 November 2025, 17:55 »Thank you davo245 & all,
I went for PS5’s in the end. Happy with all, so far. Although haven’t done many miles since.
BlackCircle were also giving 15% discount, which was a bonus.
Top choice sir! You won't regret it.

Car always feels better with new tyres - interestingly all four were made in Italy in week 40/25 - in all of the times I've bought Michelins I've never had ones made in Italy.

Golf mk6 / Re: Any ideas what this could be please?
« Last post by Nino on 28 November 2025, 12:55 »its possible, personally if I was you, as long as you are not;
- Losing oil
- Losing coolant
- Blowing lots of smoke
- Losing boost
- Have horrible sounds from the engine
I would enjoy your car over the Christmas period then get it booked in the new year to a specailist.
Where abouts are you located?

Found some stuff about wastegate failure? And found this video ( u can hear the sound at the start)
Which does sound quite similar to my original video tbh.
The clip he talks about tho, looks like fits onto an external one I thought mk 6 turbos have them internally so surely the clip wouldnt then work.

Well, was about to come and say all running well since had car back this morning, and before had the pcv,plugs and coil it looked more like it was minus 10 outside with the exhaust/steam out the exhaust but now there's none of that and a tiny bit from the exhaust that u can see so thought, nice sorted.
But the "blowing noise is still there on decel" and as it was at idle nothing wrong in the revs , nice and settled, but u get a little putt, few seconds later putt...
And the ecl light flashed up 🙄🙄...
