Explain why what I've posted about K-Jet is shyte then?

Did I say that?

Or maybe explain why K-Jet is great, if that's your opinion.

Didnt say or imply that either.

Just coming on and abusing me in poor English is just a petty, shoddy little attack.

I think I must be learning from your mastery of this technique. I dont feel any further need to justify myself though so Ill leave it at that before Im dragged down to your level and beaten with experience.

Lacking substance.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Well erm, thanks guys.

I cant seem to get hold of one anywhere. Its at a garage and they are having no luck either.

would it be cheeky for me to suggest them cleaning it?

on a side note -

They have already charged me £30 for a pipe it didnt need as they are now saying its the metering head.

do i stand any chance on requesting my money back for labour that was uneccessary?

K jet was involved, i feel sorry for the garage.

£30 for a pipe that it may have needed isn''t that unreasonable  with it been mecanical the only way to diagnose it half the time is to piss around with it ,measure pressures and change the bits that logic says chould be f**ked.

by all means you can ask them to clean it the reply wont be to your likeing.   a sharp knock is enough to upset a metering head if your unlucky let allone takeing the bugger apart if they do it it'll do one of 2 things.   not run at all or run perfectly but leack round the join between castings
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
