Hi.

I am just about to fit an AWE kit this weekend and am a bit concerned after reading your posts!

What happened to cause it so quickly?

Did you use proper cam lube and the bedding in procedure?

How come they just gave you your money back so quick? Faulty parts?

What kit did you fit in the end?

Sorry for twenty questions but hope you understand my concerns!

Cheers

hi, sorry for late reply

I have a feeling a new fuel filter being filled up whilst the engine was cranking over did the damage, as i couldn't start the engine quick enough to run the cam in. Afterwards i bedded it in with engine oil. Too little too late! So my mistake i think.

I used all vw parts in the end, runs well, maybe a bit more power and the mpg has gone up 2 on average
