hahahaha thats would be a night to remember XD lol
yeah preety much everything went sweet , only thing they found wrong with the car was the cam adjusters being a bit dodgy and causing a missfire at high rev's ( over 5500rpm ) but im already aware of that ... just dont have the cash for it atm haha , car was even completely checked by vw and it was all fine thankfully

so who knows a good place to get cheap performance camshafts and cam adjusters =]

You own a vw, unless it involves a can of spraypaint the words volkswagen and cheap cannot coexist in the same sentance

Cams for the v6 start at about $750 + shipping unless you can get a set second hand.

lol i beg to differ , for the car you get vw if anything is preety cheap , theres a certain quality about it no other marque can match , not even mercedes ... but each to their own

as for cams i was thinking more along the lines of a regrind ?

tried to do a boost leak test today with a huge bike pump cos i dont have a compressor. couldnt find any leaks, wasnt holding a lot of pressure though. The fact that i hit 5psi and no higher every single time makes me think its the ecu due to a fault tho.

Anyhow, I should have my bluetooth obd2 dongle arrive in the mail monday so i can see what faults are logged.

Ordered a Milltek 2.5' Cat Back

Any fitting tips?

**leighaus** · 09-10-2011, 06:58 PM

dont know what the milltek is like, but the billy boats wasnt too bad to fit. i had to cut out the stock rear end of the exhaust though, couldnt pull it out without it being on a hoist.

Also the rear hanger on the BB makes the exhaust sit quite high, so you do have to do a bit of rear bar trimming.

Changed Haldex fluid and filter.
Changed rear diff oil.

Used Genuine VW fluids for both.

Changed engine oil and filter. Castrol Edge Sport 5w-30w.

Cleaned and re-oiled K&N air filter.

Replaced pendulum mount and added urethane inserts in large end.

Noticed a split CV boot will have to get onto that soon.

found the 'new noise' in my front suspension, snapped end link, thats 3 this year...
Sussed out what was left of the already dead white bird I collected 600 odd km ago on the way to Melbourne... the engine mount looks good covered in feathers and body...
Ordering some new mounts (for more lows...) and control arms tomorrow, then removing the whiteline sway bar to send back. then hunting down a new front sway and maybe some new coilovers as decent bags and setup are too expensive for the mk4
