Unlucky mate, I though the xenon was around the £700 mark on its own...

Unlucky Ben. Gutted for you.

On the bright side, it is an ideal chance to add an uprated intake :cool:

Ha ha... Looks that way mate.. But think i'll stick with a panel filter for now.. As the only decent intakes out there involve losing your engine cover and I don't want that..
You got the pump on now mate?

So did I.. I'm sure they've priced me for the standard headlight, but they insist it's the xenon..  :huh:

Went to fit it on Sunday night and had all the tools except a plug key :sad:. To swap the pump, you need to get the engine to TDC and to do that you need to have the plugs out so compression is not there to stop movement.

Nonetheless, it will be done in the very near future :wink:. Really can't wait now......

Just spoke to the bodyshop and parts arriving tomorrow morning and once bonnet is painted car goes in to get new parts fitted. So should hopefully be back to normal by thurs..  :smiley:
But I also noticed that I caught one of my wheels the other day (first one in over 3 years and 100,000 miles). It's not huge though and a quick dap with my marker pen and it's hardly noticable.. Still pain in ass!  :angry:

Also had my engine management light come on yesterday and took it to my mate with vagcom and it's flagged up something to do with the cat/fuel emmisions (basically saying the cat isn't doing it's job properly). He said not to worry about it, but if it comes on again to get it in to dealer. Thing is I have a full Milltek (sports cat) so would it be to do with that? Anyone had a similar thing?

It never rains but pours eh..  :undecided:
