Hi, Looks like its had a FMIC install aswell as after market diverter valve, probably a whole host of other bits been tampered with too  :huh:
if you want to come across to Leeds at some point over the weekend we can take a look at it and get it on Vag-com.

Most likely its an agu. Take a picture of the engine code stamp. Also what does it say on your log book? Tried to match the engine numbers with chasis? Think thats how you know if engine has been tampered with (i think). What year is the car?
