| Aye, if i didnt have such a killer of a commute where it costs £37 train id have a bike trust me, but plan is
waterpump
cambelt
New filters
new oil
coolant flush
Forte Fuel thing
Then over a bank holiday do the heater matrix and another flush
SO then i know it will be problem less | |

| Yeah waterpumps driven by the belt
well it was changed 11,000 ago according to recipts, but got my suspitions, so gonna do it, save it going on me
and its a fuel cleaner flush the lines out for better mpg
EGR will get deleted when i have a spare £50 for more MPG
Its all about the MPG now | |

| Luke if your engine is the same as my Toledo, ASV 110 bhp, you shouldn't need the EGR delete pipe.
I was doing between 70-75mph on the M53 yesterday and was averaging 50mpg. You won't get much better than that. | |

| my waterpump went on tuesday. car overheated.
Stripped it down and the impeller had come loose on the shaft.
£36 to slaters vw (exchange item so need the old one back or £30 surcharge on top) and I've just fitted it tonight.
I've only done 800 miles since september when I did the cambelt and tensioner but I was too tight to change the pump at the time! | |
