@welshname @JB21 If you fit an aftermarket stereo in do you still have battery drain issues? Does it only happen on certain VW stereos?

Yup, that is part of the check over. They will go through all electrical systems as well as mechanical bits so hopefully that side of things will be good. Just pray i don't have a lemon! Have they shut TPS to the public now? Want to get some trim bits and pieces.

I have been thinking about the IC, however i want to know i haven't got a shed before spending monies on it. Once i know the car is good then i can think about mods :)

They look lovely, might have to order those!

No it doesn't, the paddles are a bit small, but most of the extensions i have seen are horrible! I have booked the car in with Volks Techniks in April for a full check over. I have also asked for the thermostat to be done and he said that is one of the worst jobs on these engines! Probably...

Had DSG in my 8P S3 and thought it was meh tbh. This one seems alot nicer :)

@imprezaworks got a link for the one you got? Will have the car looked over by a specialist at some point soon. Happy I went with the DSG tbh.

So today was collection day! Woke up early and was on the road about 7.30am. The conditions were terrible and multiple accidents and road closures so I knew the journey back would be fun. Anyway, got there about 9.30am and went in to do the paperwork. Waited for ages, but the money took a while...

Needs the spoiler and it will be perfect :)

Promising news then! I have just ordered a set myself.

Don't say that! Hopefully it will be OK or it has been replaced in the past. If it did go, I could put a K04 on, but dont really see much point as I'm not after big power. How much for the S3 IC out of interest? Ballache to fit?

Spotted this on the way back from Brighton, think it had blue wheels or something. Anyone from here? Sunday around 4pm.

Yes, it's on the slightly higher side. I was concerned, but after going through the paperwork, driving and speaking to specialists, it put my mind at ease. Currently got 130k on it.

Ordered a set of PS4s this morning, £330ish fitted with £40 discount from Blackcircles. Having them delivered to a garage in Brighton and will fit them before driving back. Dont fancy having pretty much bald front tyres for the long drive back. Civic wise, I'm having a tyre fitted today. Its...

Thanks, only thing I would of liked is xenons, but not the end of the world. I had the same DSG box in your car as my S3 I think and didn’t massively get on with it. They need a map for sure.

I’m so indecisive, it helps me compare cars!

All engines have both chain and belt.

Didnt think it was worth paying lots extra for the ED30 as I dont have big power plans, car would struggle putting it down anyways. Do like the Seats tho... Can anyone recommend someone in Brighton to fit tyres and do the alignment correctly?

Cheers, the box feels better than my old S3! Not sure if that's the map of just the gearbox is better. Thanks! I think the previous owner fitted this stereo with bluetooth xcar link or something I will have to confirm. Worse case I can put my stereo from the Civic in which has all the modern...

Could be interested in the future, I will let you know:)

I have been window shopping for months, looking at all sorts of different cars. Decided on a Golf because it's reasonably cheap, it's fast enough and is relatively fun to drive. Decided not to spend 15/20k on something nice and just replace the Civic with something similarly priced, but a bit...

Looks lovely, good on you for saving it :)

Have you checked the ABS rings themselves?

I used to go a little bit quicker in the work car park and because i had an induction kit it sounded faster than it was. Got a few complaints from other companies and just did a big burnout past the offices complaining about me on the last day :)

Loved even my HDi 3 door back in the day. Always wanted one!

How loud is it? Do you have a video? Surely with a sports cat its not too noisy.

Everyone who has an engine dynamics kit is banned then...

Lol why was he banned?

Watched the GT World Tour in Sydney today is was quite fun to watch tbh. Would love to get into it myself.

Wiggle the wires for the crank sensor, if the car dies then you know that's the problem. Quick and simple test.
