    Is that all TSI motors? I'm considering a 2012 model at the moment.

    Don't forget, we've got pretty good mechanics up here, Adelaide not so much =P =P =P

    Hey Transporter - Where in the hills are you?

    Flagstaff hill.

    The tensioner is only half of the problem. The chain and sprockets wear out too

    Nice one, I have some mates up that way, we've just sold our place at Lobethal. Small world!

    So I took one of these for a drive today, I gotta say I was impressed. I feel this is how the motor should feel out of a dub. It's responsive and active, not like the lazy Diesel version.

    I can really feel the difference in weight also, pushing it around corners which is a big plus considering 90% of the work will be on sealed tarmac roads.

    Question that has arisen out of today though, I Feel this would be the best thread to put it on....How hard are the following mods to carry out and where can you source parts from?

    Steering wheel to a GTI Wheel
    Changing the Climate control to two zone instead of the poverty pack single zone
    Installation of a sports bar
    Installation of a hayman reece bar (It has no tow bar)
    Installation of a rear Crome bumper bar (Again has no rear bar)

    Cheers guys

    TSI Amaroks

    I’m glad you liked it. I’m going to change my rear bumper bar, probably to ARB bar or similar with the integrated tow bar, so will have chrome bar and tow bar for sale, hopefully soon.
