Went to see Lucas from Eurospeed to have my car looked at as it makes a clicking noise when under load on occasions. All I can say is if you want a mechanic that knows his stuff and is genuine go see him!!! Bloody champion have deffinately found my new mechanic for tuning.. straight up honest, no marketing BS and genuinely wants to help you out unlike some 'A' holes.

Oh and after an hour of fiddling..... clicking gone! For now

When you installed the CAI, is it normal for intake to skew a little to the right? I had trouble fitting the CAI in because the plastic piece (on the grille) where the 2 torx screws go, was slightly higher. It wasnt a perfect fit, had to use a tiny bit of force to push it up.

Your best off to call the mobile number on the site so Lucas can point you in the right direction as he can be at a number of locations. He will look after you... tell him Adzy with the clicking GTI sent you

Make sure that your engine cover is properly installed first as sometimes the grommets (or just one) dont perfectly sit in place which may put the intake off line a bit.
Mine fitted up perfect, I did not tighten the screws until it was all in place so that I could make sure it was under no force.
If all is installed right then it may just be a slightly dodgy carbon mold which I doubt as Carbonio have a good rep for quality components.

Hmmm me again

getting a bit lonely on this thread!

..... anyway, paid for a H& R Cup Suspension kit

A little bit of topic but...

Hey I need to repair the stock suspension on my GTi so yeah I need to buy things like the stock sway bar, etc and have them installed. I was quoted the parts from VW and they arent cheap Im wondering if there is some after market mod suspension parts that I can get which arent that much more expensive then the stock partss which I will have to buy and have installed... I dont mind paying more Im just wondering how much more....

I will probably not be taking the car to track so I wondering would I actually feel the difference? I know it did make a huge difference in the impreza I had but I dont know Golfs really at all... (only min stuff)

Any1 recommendations would be great?

If this fails, any1 want to sell their stock GTi parts?

Cheers
