VRSD30

Ravenol has VW approvals, it's made in Germany and the German bottles also have fully synthetic wording on the bottles and they do have to be 100% fully synthetic base oils in Germany or oil manufacturers cannot advertise it as a true fully synthetic. This is the VMP which is approved for VW 504 & VW 507 requirements.

Sold.

£100, taking up space in the garage...

Feels much better under braking as well. The console bushes were absolutely knackered but no mention of them on the last MOT in February, he said there's no way they've deteriorated from a pass to the current state in two months. The solid Ibiza Cupra bushes have made a difference to the front end feel but I guess even new standard ones would've as well as the old ones were well past it.

Got some Fulda sport control, they get some good reviews and i've had them before, I find them hard to beat for the price, £54 each from Camskill. It hasn't completely transformed the handling but is noticeably sharper with less vagueness on the front end with the solid bushes and different tyres.

4 matching 205/45 R16 83Y Uniroyal RS 3 tyres, Covered about 1500 miles with approx 6mm of tread left, no damage or repairs, no uneven wear. £130 for the set, collection from West Cumbria or you can arrange a courier to collect them.

Needed new console bushes so replaced them for the solid type, also changed all 4 tyres which has helped with the steering feel.

Millers isn't an approved oil but it's very good stuff. You using the the 5w40 longlife nanodrive 505.01?

Where are you located?

Ruined with a rack...

The pipe from the turbo to the IC, came loose at the turbo end but wasn't fully off. Not long since it had a new turbo fitted so it's possible it wasn't connected back properly. Old pipe put back in until the new one arrives, £110 fitted. Took the car on a spirited drive after collecting it and the pipe didn't come off again *touch wood*, it may be OK now but I'd rather have a new pipe on for piece of mind.

A pipe had blown off the turbo and snapped a lug so a new pipe has been ordered, I just hope this won't be a recurring problem.

Tailpipe was nearly spotless before the first drive after the remap and when I got back it had a layer of soot coating it, rubbed a finger over the pipe and it was think black. Hope it's just to do with the boost leak, if not will have a crack with Ben.

Is the over fuelling anything to worry about? Heard of bore wash which can cause problems? If not then I can live with the dirty back end

Never had a remap before, should have done more research. My last vRS had a DTUK PD box and hardly produced any more soot. Me too, will see what the damage is tomorrow!
