But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Looks good, wrong colour though  :wink:

If you need some black trim pieces lemme know :afro:

Thanks for the offer, but I quite like the wood. I feel it adds a touch of sophistication.





























Not really, although I don't mind it! :lipsrsealed:

I did notice that when I went to view it, so I had a good look around the rear. I can't see any masking lines and I'm pretty sure all the paint matches. I checked the boot floor inside and outside and all seems fine, including all trim and the build sticker, and all of the panel gaps seem to be good.
I guess it may have had a new bootlid early on in life, as the last owner definitely wouldn't have debadged it, and by the sounds of it the owner before him wouldn't have done.

I may debadge it anyway, although I had intended to leave it standard :embarassed:

After some seriously hard work to get the guys at VW to just look on the system rather than keep telling me i'm being rediculous in suggesting they might replace them for free, I'm now booked in for some new coils next week.

Total expenditure so far: approx £610 :cool:

If the coils end in 115Q or 115R they will not replace them, I had 4 new ones last week, my old ones were H and L, the new coils are a different design with a grey top.

Mine are old, end in G from memory. I've already replaced 2 with new genuine items, but I'll put the dodgy 2 back in before I go into VW and then keep the replacements as spares. Very nearly bought these not so long ago:

.....glad I didn't now.

Any ideas what part number the new ones are?
