My point was that TT is obviously very well respected and looking at some of his posts on here he's a very helpful and knowledgeable guy but he posts in a particular way and he has made a couple of errors that clearly identifies he isn't correct on everything.

My point was his style of posting was a bit arrogant but I'm sure like most people on this forum they appreciate an expert opinion and he clearly has one.

:rolleyes: How pedantic can you go? Im guessing more  :undecided:

Not sure how he is messing up anyone's spec list, if someone is buying one they will be well aware of the options by getting a brochure, the brochure wont however contain technical information on it.

Stop going on about it now mate, you failed; epically. He made a slight mistake. You lose the end.

You must be a good friend to have, even when they make a balls up your there to hold their hand and have an uncanny way of making it meaningless and sounding less bullsh!t than it is. You go girl. I lose, ok, but your a cock so were even now ?

But as Julie says, his expert opinion doesnt count for Mk6's as he is not buying one, so you have to get a truck load of salt and use it as it might not be correct. No biggie though.

imagine if he was buying one though - there would be technical specs galore in a MK6 sticky - who's first to do an MK6 engine rebuild then  :grin:  Reckon Kev would be up for it if you ever get one - ONLY JOKING  :evil:

in fact we should have a sticky showing TT's best forum "flames"  :grin:

Big question is though, who would run it the clique or the other forum members ?

hey Ronnie, arent you supposed to run-in ur new GTI before attempting a speed breaker? I dont think you want your engine to be wrecked when its only 3 days old... ho ho ho  :drool:

Running in an engine is a thing of the past. You only need to run in an engine of a lesser quality vehicle. Anyway, I will not have for much more than a year before I upgrade it.

Nope, ALL engines need running in - even VW ones! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hi, I'm relatively new to the forum, you seem to be very knowledgeable but you also seem to just jump on a thread and shoot people down without any helpful follow up.  If you know so much why not share it rather than just flame every post? 

Huh - I don't think I just jump in on any thread without actually backing up my comments and concerns with valid additions!  I would doubt the very last thing that others would say about me is that I fail to offer any 'helpful follow up'!  :huh:

"Actually all engines should be run it correctly because blah blah blah....."

OK, then - do tell me where, officially, where definative manufactuer-approved information is to NOT run in an engine?  :smug:  :rolleyes:

"Actually that oil isn't recommended because of blah blah however Y brand is good because....."

Ohhhhh - now I ALWAYS back up my oil based discussions with hard based facts!  I think your complaint on this particular issue should be directed in the other direction. !!

Get my drift? You seem to love a dramatic exclamation mark.

Erm, my comments will never be more 'dramatic' - compared to someone stating that 'engines do NOT need running in'!  That latter comment is both extremely arrogant, and utterly without ANY technical proof - yet you call me dramatic.  Pot, kettle, and black.

HAND, and all that. :smiley:

Just for the record, I kinda like TT shooting people down - he appears to know his stuff and afterall he doesn't get paid for the stuff he provides.   People should just take it on the chin  :laugh:
