    Yeah, quite a few miles. I have added coolant in the past. Looks like may have slowly leaked some over time. Doesnt overheat at all

    My daughter is at a camp this week and i sent her this picture...
    08ECE467-C4E0-437D-A936-E2B8B3B82211.jpeg She asked, “Change Your what?”

    I said, “Oil, every 3,000 miles.”
    Apparently that is a ‘Dad joke’

    Still haven't ruled out fuel. But, after I put the fuel pressure guage in, the pressure is down to about 10 psi. And the cylinder misfire is always cylinder 1. What are the chances that injector for cylinder 1 is leaking? This along with, sputtering at around 5500 to 6000ish rpm. Maybe I didn't do something right when I changed the fuel filter.

    Looks good but, you need to add the center caps.

    What kind of dashcam did you get? A two channel one? I've been thinking that I should get one of those too.

    The Helmet has two levels press once to turn off the DSC or what ever it is, I don’t remember, hold it down to turn it off completely off.

    I would like to have a Mk1 GTI

    I've done that before. But, I thought it reset the next time you start it back up

    Ian Cull, similar to doing the ISTA thing? I have hooked my laptop and turned it off in there before. Just didnt like that the DSC light was always on. Had reversed it.

    Quick first impression:
    Less grabby with light pedal pressure
    than the stock JCW pads, but ramps
    up very nicely and evenly with a little
    more pressure. Very good modulation
    of braking power all the way up to the limit.
    Looking forward to the claims of less
    brake dust and low rotor wear and noise
    compared with OEM
