So my plan is to have fun with the mk2 until early next yeah and then start the hunt for a mk2 estate. Mine is a pre facelift, mapped with a downpipe and decat and bolt on spacers for the rear and hubcentric on the front. Suspension is next but I just can't seem to find a lowering spring that offers the same comfort as OE springs. I live in North London and I'm past the days of slammed super stiff cars.

Was noisy before the downpipe buddy. It’s definitely from the top of the engine, just not sure I’d it’s the hpfp or lifters.

Great read mate, good to see a real life account with ups and downs. Love your car as well, that's my end game as I've currently got a mk2 vrs tfsi but love mk3 estates.

Hello all, Had my car for 2 weeks now, gotta say I'm loving it. I've come from a e91 320d which I had modded a bit but due to ulez I needed a petrol car. So far I've had the car remapped and fitted a 3" downpipe and decat and also fitted 25mm bolt on spacers to the rear and 15mm hubcentric spacers with longer bolts to the front. Plans are lowering springs and shock of some sort, need to work out which ones wont ruin the ride quality too much, and maybe the rest of the exhaust, but again don't want it too loud. Also got a couple of things I need to get sorted, little bit noisy once warmed up on the top end, hpfp or lifters I believe and the rear wiper motor which is already ordered. Any advice welcome. Cheers, Mike
