Is that for all service filters and plugs? Seems fairly cheap from vw!

10W40 is the best oil for the GTI mate, I would just get 5 litre of the Syntha Silver from Volkswagen its cheap enough and perfect for the GTI

[Verity]

most service parts are cheaper from VW then most other places.
last time i serviced the polo i got a 5l bottle of oil for around £9, i think retail price its still only £12(plus VAT) which is cheaper then own brands of other places (even with trade discount)
if i remeber correctly antifreeze is cheaper, screen wash is deff cheaper (well you can get a super strong 1l bottle of screenwash that works out better then 5l of super weak stuff . oil filter, and i think sparkplugs are cheaper to, Transmission fluid is cheaper and powersteering fluid.

[benmkiv]

Jeez I've paid £35 for oil. That's mad!

[KPerryGTi]

Woo cheers guys sounds like a plan

Also going to have a go at sorting out the engine bay... Induction kit needs sorting out and got a design plan for engine cover etc...

[KPerryGTi]

Ordered some new wing mirrors! Had a slight accident teaching the other half to drive In which we lost a wing mirror!

Have ordered some new ones and some new hose to fit my induction kit properly! Its basicly the same as a CDA but made by a different company lol

[nigelelliott394]

You gone for the stubby mirrors?

Hey, you don't mind linking me to the induction kit you have? I might be interested in one

Nah just bought 2 off a guy on here... black ones as I am going to be wrapping the roof soon...

The make I got is ASH ( Auto Silicone Hoses ) cant find it on there website but there are some on ebay, there cheaper than the BMC and as far as I can tell there is very little difference! Found this one on Ebay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cold-Feed-Ind ... 438wt_1037 ...

[nigelelliott394]

Ahh nice one! Black roof should be pretty cool.

Thanks for the link I'll be sure to check them out when I'm at my computer next.

[KPerryGTi]

Wahay wing mirrors have arrived so going to fit them! then removing some of the dash and bits of interior to do some high gloss detailing! but obviously as today is one of my only days off it is raining so I can only prepare the bits today... =I

[6N2 GTI 00]

That Induction kit looks like a bargain at £75

Very similar to the BMC CDA and the ducting looks better too, the only thing I would be concerned about is the quality of filter element.
The BMC filter uses very high quality filter element with a lifetime guarntee (like K&N) but to be honest it is over double the price

[KPerryGTi]

Yeah I wasn't prepared to spend that much tbh... so this one looked perfect for me, Clean it regularly and its been great for me...

On another note.. does anybody know how to remove the rear spoiler?

[Trottagti]

I'm thinking the rear spoiler is stuck on with double sided tape you should be able to see it if you look at your gaps, but with the rear brake light I reckon there will be atleast two bolts holding it on aswell. If you open the boot there will be two blanks I think which should house the bolts/torxs. There will be loom aswell for the light...

[Bepe]

It isnt stuck on with tape, it has a seal going around the spoiler to stop water entering the brake light holes, it is bolted on with two 8mm bolts on either side in each corner when you remove the 2 covers and another couple of torx bolts in the centre!
