It's fairly normal on performance cars. The more powerful the engine the worse it is.
My friend had a M3 and he used to polish his tips most days

Re: Mods for 2014 Scirocco R 280hp
The red coils provide no performance benefit at all. I think most people end up buying them because they are either cheaper than the OEM if they needed replacing or for looks as they are more aesthetically pleasing. I've just put a VWR induction kit (which I highly recommend) in and because of that ...

Re: Induction Kit
£450 but I figured it will have some value if I come to sell it in the future.
Not necessarily, it's making a noise if you take your foot off the accelerator and at lows revs. Not the reason I bought but I am that side of it

Re: Induction Kit
Took the plunge and got a VWR induction kit as recommended by Will at VRS in Northampton. Throttle response hugely improved and it does make one hell of a noise. Engine bay needs some work as I don't have a TTS engine cover at the moment but overall It was worth the money for anyone thinking about i...

Re: what tyres is everyone rocking?
I found VW to be the cheapest. I got mine for £125 a corner. Nobody could get near that elsewhere.

Hi All,
I find that when the dipped beam is on it's far to low and I would like to raise the beam.
I believe they are self levelling so I assume I can't adjust this at all?

Re: HPFP Cam Follower 'HOW TO'
My car was with VRS in Northampton and they changed this as part of the service saying they do it on every service in a mapped car.
I think it's was about £50 for parts and labour so well worth doing by the sounds of it.
Awesome guide
