Good progress as usual.

How come you went for the Fix and not the full PCV catch can set up?

Well I just didn't value it as that wise an investment, although I appreciate its value, in less than an hour the inlet manifold can be stripped and inlet valves cleaned to within an inch of their lives. I've read on various forums that even people running catch can set ups and WMI, still get heavily coked up valves, so I figured I'd save the money. Plus which I change oil every 4-5k and always use an engine flush and oil fortifier too. I suppose if I had a spare £1,200 I would get it done just for sh!ts and gigs, but I ain't.

Thanks for reading and paying an interest Adam.

I love the sound of the smooth front grille, you'll have to post some photos when you get a chance! Also what are 'cut down' plates?

 :smiley:

Cars back at VW due to further issues with their work. All paid for by them - bless them.

Cut down plates:

I'll get some pics up when the cars back! I've also put a matt black front badge on too. Looks very smart!

What was the deal with VW's work?

Not too sure about those squashed plates, each to their own hey.  :smiley:

Where did ya get the black matt badge? I'd like one of these....

Hey up, forgot to check up on this!
Went into VW for a service and basically went down hill from there. Firstly they were in the process of changing parts in the engine bay when someone put the bonnet down which then meant someone thought it was complete and marked it as such. I drive it and the car fails. Goes back on the back of a lorry. VW say nothing wrong. Go out with them in it and it fails again. They agree there is problems and keep it. Que letter writing to VWUK who assure they will personally deal with it which they are in Milton Keynes. The dealer clearly, on realsing what went on did a quick fix, VDRS'd all the errors out and said nothing wrong. However, VWUK have been very good. Cars back now, but working up north until the end of the month so car til then - guess its lucky with the weather!!

Black badge - friend of mine wrapped it .....I can get a price you want?

Plus awesome boost figures!  :smiley:

Sounds like a f**king nightmare mate, I hope all is well upon your return from the north.

Don't worry about the price on the badge, I can probably spray it myself when I've had a few beers :)
