Sadly i don't have that deep pockets even though theres been a fair amount spent on this!

fixed some of the videos that werent working 

Uncle recently moved back to Austria so got dragged into having to take stuff over. Did a pull on the Autobahn slightly uphill with a boot full of his rubbish.

 

Great, when's the fitting

Around may time hopefully. The car’s 5 years old this year so will need the cambelt and waterpump doing and a few people have suggested changing the clutch while the box is out too. 

Similar to my mod in that I went for a clutch (LuK from EuroCarts with life time warranty ) replacement when fitting the LSD. As well as having the timing tensioner replaced. Except that I've not done the water pump as it's not showing any problems. Mines 8 year old in Feb, so not expecting any more large bills for at least 7 years, and for the MOT also due in Feb.

Not sure if my car would be covered under their life time warranty

 

half tempted to put in another standard clutch again since the current one seems to be coping ok but i guess we will see when the box comes off

Sachs SRE paddle clutch I loved mine in my MK1. 

 

And I also loved my wavetrac. Good choice.

Don't think you can get a paddle clutch for my gearbox.

Look here

That link came from here where there are other Sachs 1.6 TDI clutches to choose from

And europarts

I think that Valeo /LuK also are originals for Skoda.

I used to commute 140miles a day in mine . It's juddery when it's bedding in but after that I found it perfectly fine. Pedal was heavy but you get used to that after a few days.

The clutch on mine is pretty heavy already. Always annoying when you get into a car with a light clutch and think it’s broke 

One thing that always bugged me was that my car had red seats but didn't have the red stitching on the gear stick or handbrake but with superskoda's 20% sale thats changed now

 

 

 

couple more stickers for darkside as the other ones aren't as noticable

Photoshoot with VWG Magazine today Apparently it will be a 7 page feature in the next issue out at the end of febuary. I didn't think you could write 7 pages worth of stuff about it these aren't the photographers pictures just crappy ones from my iphone.

 

 

 

 

 

Met up with Bobby who has the Darkside Developments 1.6 TDi Golf yesterday. One of the nicest guy's i've ever met and definately a friend for life now

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Car will be in next Thursday Edition of VWG Magazine out 28/2/19

i remember it was @Richard92 last night

 

Car seems to know its pay day, full set of Pilot Sport 4's all round, I loved my Conti's but once they get below 3mm they really do struggle for traction and grip so gonna give these a go.

 

£318 for the set

 

 

 

Few other bits ordered too.
