It's bit wierd that this happened there not a high revving engine and it's been serviced it whole life, even the guy at vw told my mate they rarely sell them She's running sweet now and he done a carbon clean while he was there. He tosing up between selling it or keeping it now 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
