  1. Then it's belt driven, i.e. the cams are driven from the crank by a belt - TFSI If the cams are driven from the crank by a chain, then it's chain driven - TSI
  2. Got a full set on my Mk2 now, make the previous Contis look like they were Nankang or Wan Li!
  3. The Americans love their class action lawsuits haha!
  4. The 3.6 was in a Superb, which is the same chassis (just stretched), the engine, gearbox, etc should bolt in on factory Superb mounts.
  5. Most are really good and readily available - they're a bit out of fashion at the moment, but they continue to make quality products. I've just got some of their Polar Seal to try out, because I'm lazy.
  6. Take all this with a grain of salt, you'll find many more people saying they've had problems than not simply because no one makes forum posts to say nothing went wrong 😂
  7. New 5's on the front of my wife's Polo GTI, 3's on the back. Both grip really well, no noticeable difference in noise.
  8. Tensioner was revised late 2011, so 12-plate cars "should" have the latest one.
  9. Shift into D and it should strain against the handbrake.
