So that’s why you sold the bloody thing to me!!!!! 😂 I’ll also agree the only thing I’m missing is the sound of the Rs & enjoying being back in a Golf although its only a GTi so I can see where this’ll end up. 🤔

Think that’s the term the ladies use or the fellas if you’re that way inclined.

12mm front & rear (on the stock 7.5j x 18) is pretty much spot on. If you search youtube, Motech Performance have done a few R/GTi’s

I’ve used LLLparts a few times and found there service great. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/shop/products?search=5G2 819 728 AJ QYI

Big to the club.

Definitely need to invest in a decent Jack.

Same battery from GSF is even cheaper £126 (free delivery) as they have a sale on. Halfords own branded batteries are made by Yuasa. The Yuasa 9000 series is the AGM & 7000 is the EFB. https://www.gsfcarparts.com/parts/electrical-lighting/battery/car-batteries1

£121 for EFB096 or £159 for a AGM096 from Halford’s. Both have 5yr guarantees. I changed mine last week just stuck the EFB type in & took me 2 mins to code it.

Nope never heard of them, might be ok but what’s that’s saying in life you get what you pay for? If it were me I’d rather go with a tried & tested tuner on my £20,£30k motor.

They do these smart repairs as a low cost option and to make the vehicles punter proof as 98% of the buying public don’t care as long as their new purchase is shiny. I’d go have a chat with the dealer and start wording a strong email to VWCS looking for some form of substantial reimbursement.

This is what genuine looks like. These are all 5g

WTF is that? Definitely not genuine.

That’s a good shout. My local VW/Audi dealer actually does use the genuine weights which is a nice touch as the OEM’s are far more robust to the elements. Also std weights range from 5-60g and go up in increments of 5. 🤓
