Help needed on parts purchase.
dont get from ebay, i used the cheap stuff from ebay a few years ago on a 1m LC and within 4 months all bushes were torn or completely come away from housing, i ended up using lemforder parts, that car still feels like new with over 200k, I orderd full front and rear lemforder bush kit and few other bits from auto doc around £200 just waiting on shocks and springs to arrive get from Autodoc as they'll have everything you'll need, it'll cost you around £300 you may need other nuts/bolts but gives you an estimate there's a few good brands on autodoc you can use to bring costs down,

Revs, driving and economy
on very light throttle, gears change below 1300 revs, 20 mph 3rd, about 24mph it changes to 4th, at 30 mph its at 4th but if i go 32ish it'll change to 5th and stay at 5th when i'm at 30mph, (annoying at big roundabouts) at 40 its still at 5th but 42ish its at 6th, uphill it usually at 3rd or 4th at 30mph, but if i'm on a gradual decline at 30/40mph in 5th it shifts into 4th then 3rd then i have to change up manually

dont use the cheap stuff from ebay, they won't last very long, the bushes will tear after a few months, you can get from carparts4less, optimal, lemforder, trw, these are good quality, have you considered getting the bushes changed, i priced up for mine few weeks ago and it was alot cheaper than buying the arms, wishbones etc (around £400), the full bush kit (front and rear) from lemforder was i think around £170 inc inner and outer track rods, lower balljoint and drop links and all bolts/nuts.

backbox/resonator delete
no mine is standard with box in place, mates gtd has the hornet, straight through from downpipe, he said he paid £150 for it from ebay, it does have a good tone to it, also can hear the dsg farts slightly, hope that helps

backbox/resonator delete
my mates blackline has a nice exhaust note, sounds like a petrol, mine also has a deep bass note, both stock exhausts, my other mate mk6 gtd has a hornet exhaust (straight through) and it sounds pretty good, no drone check youtube there's a few vids, "2.0 tdi hornet exhaust"

P2015 code😡
hmm interesting, my mates vrs is the same, some days it feels on point and some days its kind of slow, mine felt sluggish hence the reason for mani change, dont know what it was its sorted itself out, i ended putting the original back on as it was in very good condition and stuck a new genuine gasket and bracket, its been a while now no issues 🤞 🤞 🤞 you can get genuine refurb from ebay uk from germany £120 while the mani is off give the egr and throttle a good clean

P2015 code😡
its definitely plastic, you need the plastic mani bracket as its slightly shorter, if you're doing it yourself you're looking at a few hours, need to remove fuel lines, brackets, connections, mani comes off with egr and throttle attached, 1st time it took me around 3 hours, 2nd time less than 2, trying to do it with mini socket set was a ball ache, tried on mates car wasted around an hour, didn't get anywhere so just removed mani another 2 hours i got few quotes myself it was between 700 to 1100, skoda wanted over 1200, this is with mani and motor if you're doing it yourself dont forget new mani gasket around 15 quid for genuine

Leaky head gasket.... What would you do?
SELL IT, put another grand or 2 in and buy another car, you can get decent octy with lower milage or another vag car for around 2k in my experience high mile cars seem to have small niggle every month, thats why i have a note 1.5 dci as 2nd car i paid around 2k for it with 70k on clock,

Engine management light on - help required
if you're taking mani off there's alot of fuel lines, clips and brackets to remove/move to get to the mani bolts, the mani, motor, egr and throttle come off together just remove hose from bottom of throttle and pipe on egr, first time took me around 3.5 hours second time less than 2,

Brake discs and pads
Yes the review are old, would they work on any standard discs or would I need to upgrade discs? Do they have decent bite from cold? What they like after long m/way drive? Can they cope on the back rds? Any squealing? Sorry for a million questions, I need to be sure, I've priced what you recommend and they coming in at 375ish is that about right
