If you don't have anyone local that grabs it, would you be willing to send it via courier to WA, at our cost?

Would this bolt onto MK6 GTI ?

Expect the worst then :)

I wonder if the 7 speed would benefit from a pump/cooler set up.

I imagine being the same chassis, the intercooler could be upgradeable to the current options, turbo could be an option as long as it shares the same footprint as the petrol versions.
could always...

Is there mods for these like the Petrol versions?
Like intercoolers, bigger turbo's etc?
I know you can get a tune for them, but it'd be nice with bolt on's as well.

Seriously looking at one for...

You might get a good one like a few people have, but given that it is a genuine known issue with them, why would you bother, I only know 2 people with them, both have had engine rebuilds. The other...

Just don't, they are prone to failure, it's not a case of if, it's when. Do you really want to try your luck, especially when you KNOW they have issues? I'd either spring a bit more cash for MK6 GTI...

Not that this is your problem, but I looked like the biggest idiot the other day, light came on, decided to reset it, jammed hand in glovebox and pressed button, wasn't going off, tried again, still...

Anyone in Perth with a cable able to do it to the missus's 2010 GTI ?
Can throw you some cash if you need :)

I ran the Nulon foaming one through ours the other day, idle on start up is so much better, might be a placebo, but it runs a lot smoother as well, coincidently, it's easily getting 700km to a tank...

What I was getting at is if she'd bought Korean, it wouldn't be a huge shock if there was continual issues, and she wouldn't have paid a premium (vs korean) for a supposed better quality European...

LOL, Keep the dream alive, VW's - Indestructable !

We are averaging about 720km to tank in the MK6 GTI, thats some freeway and stop start local runs, with a heavy foot and air con cranking, overall pretty happy :)

I bought a Bluetooth OBD2 adaptor from Ebay and use the Torque app - Android, I think there is a similar one for Apple junk as well.
Works a treat, cleared codes I had before the tune with the...

Girlfriends mother had hers replaced Dec last year, shudder is back again, it's got 35,000km on it. I'd sell the poxy thing and get something Korean !
7 Speed issues in both the 90 and 118's, 118's...

I went with the Sportcontact 5's, absolutely love them, so sticky, I'm looking at them for my FG XR6T as well.
I see they don't do them in your size, but they do a few others, I am sticking with...

Yep, I had to remove the rubber seals around the wiring, no biggie for me, but if you're anal about your car you'd care, I'm not, it's just a Golf.
I'd also look at a Anti lift kit, our tyres are...

I put one on mine, doesn't seem to feel so squishy on a hard corner under power now. Doesn't seem uber necessary as the strut towers aren't completely separate like on a lot of cars, I did it because...

LOL, All good, been a Mechanic going on 20 years now, worst customers have always been Euro owners, especially with a tiny bit of knowledge. Not putting you in this category, just a general comment,...

LOL, I'm not going to argue with VW Fanboi's, To me the Aftermarket one was built better and slid in nicely, the stocker felt crap in my GTI and mother in laws TSI.
Just giving an opinion :)

VW OEM is R13 AFAIK, unless you are running an aftermarket rim but sold with the car as factory, then it's R12.

Yeah when it comes to things like that, it is best, I'm usually a stickler for OEM, but I found the Pollen filter was a better product.
Any other filters - go OEM.

I got Repco's brand of pollen filter, compared to flimsy VW it's made a lot better. First time for everything, lol.

I've had heaps of tuned turbo cars, and each has had a cloud of fuel smoke at instant WOT, if it is tuned to not do this, she's nearing on too lean. Rotors are a huge different kettle of fish, almost...
