Hi,No he’s not in charge of HM Army. I was thinking more in line of what to check when you’ve bought your first Gti6. I have done the timing belt and water pump, drop links, gear linkages and I have new rear discs and pads on order. My car has fsh and isn’t due a service yet, so is there anything that needs checking that isn’t on a service? |

The standard airbox set up on these is very good. All that happens with a K&N is you get an open filter, mounted low down. Plenty of risk of sucking in water and hydrolocking the engine. Perhaps less of a risk in Australia but hey. Only benefit, if you can call it one, is a bit more induction noise. ________________________________________ Cherry Red Rallye ....

It’s winter at the moment and it’s been raining for far too long! Ok, well that puts the price down a bit  |
