Terrible roads? I don't know, the Kia was worse though. But on this subject, the garage are saying that the rear camber is out, but cannot be adjusted?? Said the same last time...

Could be the tracking bolts have seized in the bushes. Common issue.

Wonder if I can get one of these to fit when released.

What ever happened to the joy of driving....now we need to be connected to Google at all times? Nobody needs apps while they drive.

It made me chuckle when they said cars are disconnected as if that is a bad thing. Last thing we need are drivers being distracted with their apps.

Being a Google fan i'm quite excited about this..

Will fit in nicely with my Android phone, Chromebook, Chromecast, Google Nest Thermostat and Nest Protect haha.

Think about it thought... the maps will be constantly updated.

Oh I like Google, but I like it on my phone or PC. Not in the car... I just don't see the need to be doing things other than driving whilst driving. In fact I think too many people struggle with driving as it is. Chuck Facebook into the mix (let's face it, that is what this is really about) and I dread to think what the roads will be like! :thumbd:

Done it a few times now last time was in a mk4 1.8t. Cost a fortune! Still got about 100 miles left in my tank from a fill up. Just hope the engine fault is one of those that comes up every few thousand miles

Got my car fully serviced @ midland vw top notch guys but did notice a oil leak possibly from turbo, i would like to check myself but haven't got a clue how to everything seems all tight together, i did notice some dried up oil on a pipe below the air intake pipe but cleaned up to see if it comes back. if anyone has any insight to check further please let me know :think:

Today i finally sorted out the issue i've had pretty much since i bought the car about 3 months ago but it got worse. Damn misfire!

I changed:

Charcoal canister
Coilpacks
Sparks plugs
PCV valve
Rev D diverter valve

That's pretty much the major common issues changed so i should be good for a while and ready for an intake & map! :D

The car runs much smoother now and the power is on point! I've also fitted a Forge Spacer, no matter what the reviews are where some have experienced issues with it but some have been fine for a year. I thought i would give this a go and give feedback with my experience which may help others. I love the sound of it and it's not loud at all with the windows up! I might remove the bonnet sound proofing and see how much louder it gets! No bad performance issues with it for now but i will see how it goes.
