I haven't had any experience with these but I have heard of eBay dv's leaking at the threads.
In most cases you get what you pay for buy can't 100% say the same for these.

exactly what happened to mine ordered from the same company
Mk4 GTi 1.8t 16" BBS Alloys, Coilovers, Full Exhaust, Catch can..... More to come - If i ever beat this 17705

To open up a can of worms, according to Bill@Badger5's research all after market DV's leak to some extent.

He says the standard DV is the only one that doesn't leak, Albeit, it has to be in good condition and is also suitable
for mapped cars.
