Yea get someone that knows what there doing with your engine
some good specialists on here
the depehaser wont fail though imo it will just get louder so dont worry about it being too urgent :)
More like £350 because you dont need the kits jsut the belts and i think the price of the dephaser has gone up from £140
id say a few hundred quid should sort it
Ignore people on here being c***s...it doesnt always come on if oil is low
It can be tempermental and come on if your parked on an incline
mine used to do it everytime i went for a haircut because the road leans like f**k towards the curb lol
always let it cool down and check the dipstick...
As for oil get some carlube 5l if on a budget and bosch filter
still as decent as the rest an £20 from eurocarparts
oh also wd40 up all hinges e.g doors bonnet catch boot catch.people never mention it but always worth doing
as is checking all bulbs
Autovogue have good taste.
But id rather buy it privateley alot cheaper and add some rims etc myself and save a fortune for the same result
i mean 22k for a diesel golf.....Lol
I think all "specialists" should reccomend them to be changed on a 72k service
thats the difference between a specialist and a back street garage
ive seen loads of knackered pulleys ( so as mentioned must be a northern thing lol)
and as Fred said id be doing a every 6k oil change to make...
Yes i would say so
Mine is also goosed after having a decat and now swapping back to standard
Doesnt run great from cold, usual symptoms are it feeling like its accellerating by itself and hesitating when cold but fine once warm
ill get my code reader on mine tommorow to see if i get similar...
Sounds good mate
I doubt you would even notice any power loss anyways
Plus the sound gives you the sense that is is faster
even though it isnt
so balances it out lol
glad your enjoying it
