Well i decided to be sensible and begore doing the boost increase i did tracking, 4 wheel allignment, oxygen sensors and a new thermostat because it was never getting to temp, its like driving a dofferent car! Doesnt pull to the left anymore, seems to be doing more than 18mpg and engine gets up to temp quickly and heater is nice and hot, 120k miles 14 years and it still drives smoother and nicer and more quietly than my mates 09 polo, well pleased!

If you look after them, they are good. I've just redone interior down to last screw, clip, cover etc and it is literally rattle free. That's 13 year old with 98K on clock... And last run down South, averaged just under 38mpg...

I have had mine for 3 months now and since i got it there was this rattle from the back end whenever i was on bumpy road... Checked everything i could think of and last week i checked the spare and these was a metal rod rattling around in the spare wheel recess -.-

Most people have issues with water swilling around in the spare wheel well (well being the appropriate word!!)
