  1. Would I be mad to buy a FL CR VRS diesel (DSG) (such as the blue estate for sale on the forum right now, when I only drive 5 miles to work and back and 5 miles to gym and back every day?

     

    At weekends I usually go out to peak district and i dont drive like a granny either.

     

     

  2. I had my MOT today, was keeping fingers crossed it would pass as I am off camping to the IOW next week, so I get a call from my mechanic, its failed (my front tyres were pretty close to the wear indicators anyway) then he said it passed as he swapped the spare with one of the fronts and had them redo it  :rofl: (did not know that was possible)

     

    Result.

     

    Only now I need 5 new tyres!

    Only thing is I have my heart set on a campervan -possibly to buy in winter when they should be cheaper, so unsure if to fit some cheapos or decent ones, as I would have to sell my estate vRS to fund it.

     

    Are there any good offers about, these 18" ones 225/50/18 are quite pricey.

  3. I have a 07 plate PD170 VRS estate. It has had injector recall -done before I bought it.

    It always seems to drive rubbish <2000 rpm, mainly shows up at 1500-2000 rpm the call feels hesitant, does not accelerate smoothly, although it revs fine. possibly feels down on power.

    Above 2000 rpm its like a different car, very smooth plenty of power.

    Also now and again, at idle say at traffic lights etc, sometimes the car seems to hiccup, the revs seem fine but the car feels like its been given a tap from behind or something- very odd.

    has recently had a oil change/ oil filter/air filter/pollen filter/fuel filter but was doing before this

  4. how much of a job is reseating the injectors, his issue sounds similar to mine, it has had the recall, the symtoms I have had were

    poor cold starting, - only occured after a full service I had

    engine cutting out - happened a few times when slowing down to almost standstill

    the main issue I see is the revving of engine between 1500/2000 rpm is not smooth.
