boring bits first after fitting my recirc i realised the vac hose was rubbing on the underside of the engine cover
so i removed the offending area causing the problem...
please enlighten me to the problems, iv searched and all i can seem to find is other peoples opinion no one that actually has one. in a high state of tune i can imagen there will be problems but that's with any tuned vehicle.

so i fitted my front mount on Sunday with a little help from the missus. allot bigger job than i was thinking. ill let the pictures do the talking
hopefully i can get some better pics this weekend
and if my springs arrive get then fitted to the car also
could you give me an insight in to common faults with them ? i get what you mean i had a 63 plate 1.4 polo for the courtesy car and i hated it, it felt so cheap compared to the GTI !
you would be correct, got the car back today and that was what i was told, high carbon build up on the plugs
now that shes back i had a look at the damage again gave it a quick polish and the Majority of the scratches have came out the black that's left is bare plastic.
after polish...
i can see were your coming from but i shouldn't have to pay for it in the first place, honesty seems to be in very short supply these days. without coming across as a prick i work f**king hard to have a nice car and when someone does something like this it really gets under my skin.
i know a...
And to top off this week i come out of my Home-stay to find someone has hit my car and driven off. So gutted about it, it makes me so angry that someone would do it and not say anything, people just don't respect anything :(
on the plus side lowering springs and tyres have been ordered
no updates as of yet tyres are a nightmare to get hold of for the type/size im after.
and the car has developed a misfire so she has to go back to vw to be looked over. so frustrating when i have all these parts ready to fit on the car :(
get a gti for sure or they also do a 1.4tsi in manual my mum has one its a bluemotion one looks very smart.

when i first got the car i hated the dsg i was going to sell it, but after getting use to it i really like it. especially seing as i spend 80% of my drive to work in traffic makes it effortless

wheels are on order...
few more bits ordered for the polo should hopefully be here very soon then ill be off to AMD to get her remapped.
got my vwr intake so heres a pic of it fitted. nice roar to it without it being to much
normally on a drive to work roughly 15mile i get 38mpg and thats a mix of being stuck in traffic and 5 miles of constant 40 mph
if i drive like a massive girl the best ive had is 49mpg
most of the parts im getting will be coming form a place called AwesomeGTI if you type that in on google they have lots of parts

Xenon Headlight with DRL's
Touch screen 6 disc head unit
