    Lumpy idle, possible timing chain? CODES

    Hi guys, Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed my car has been what I’d describe as ‘lumpy’ when idling sometimes. It sounds as though it’s not firing on all cylinders, quite rough. Generally once I get driving it’s okay but there has been a few times when it has felt jerky at points. Although...

    Anyone had or know anything about APEC? Father in law works at a parts company and can get discs and pads for £247. Don’t know whether to just go for that or pay a bit more for a ‘brand’

    Performance pack discs and pads recommendations?

    Okay man thanks, I've been having a bit of a read around the forum and people seem to agree with you. I mean they look good but I'd rather save some money if they're not gonna benefit performance wise.

    Performance pack discs and pads recommendations?

    I've got a GTI PP, when I bought the car it had drilled and vented discs front and back from ECS tuning. I got my MOT done a couple months ago and they had brake replacement down as an advisory. So it's about time to bite the bullet and get some new discs and pads. Just wondering if people...

    Should I have a small engine cover?

    Okay thanks man. As long as I’m not missing something essential then I’m not too bothered as it’s around £50. It hasn’t caused me any issues and I didn’t even notice it until today, but just wanted to check I hadn’t got a part missing

    Good quality carbon fibre wing mirrors?

    Hi guys, I changed my wing mirror indicators for dynamic ones but in the process managed to snap one of the tabs off my wing mirror cover. So they’re only held on with one tab now rather than two. They should hold still but it’s made me decide to bite the bullet and buy some carbon wing mirror...

    Coolant silica bag, to remove or not?

    As the title says, is this a recommended thing to do? I've seen a couple of videos and things on Instagram where people have opened there coolant tank and removed the silica bag with some long nosed pliers.

    Stage one mk7 GTI - Questions

    Sorry if this has already been done but from what I've managed to find I don't think it has. I've seen a lot of posts on stage one mk7 R but not (m)any on the GTI. So I've just got a couple of questions for anyone who's done stage one or even stage two on the mk7 GTI. I'm thinking of getting...
