They're very tough & don't really have that hard a life, but if you want to exchange it for peace of mind, then I'll think you'll get about £25 exchange for it from VW.

How much lighter would you recommend? It's 9KG at the moment.

Apparently, lightened G60's vibrate a lot more in Mk4's, though??  :undecided:

I've read that you can lose some torque if you go too light aswell....?

Not sure about that, but I know the lighter it is, the quicker the revs drop off when you change gear.
