    You got any plans for the car? MOD’s or anything, or if you need any help dont hesitate to ask

    atm the only plans are to buy coilovers and a set of alloys for it (not sure what yet), and a remap to bring it to 170,

    Any coilovers i should take a look at in particular?

    andrew i see you have a 2008 170, maybe you could confirm this, i heard the 2.0 had issues with the oil feed to turbos, but was fixed at start of 07? and that the 170 had injector issues, (again fixed in 07) any truth in this?

    170’s have major issues with injectors currently at the moment VAG UK are going through replacing faulty injectors and wiring looms, as far as i can see they issued the fix to 58 plated cars onwards, hence why mine seems to be fine (58 plated). if you have any problems with injectors and your car is out of warranty, contact your brand (Seat UK, VW UK, Skoda UK,Audi UK) and tell them the problems you have got etc, aslong as your car has been serviced at the correct times they should pay 100% costs. Alot of people have had this done recently

    Not sure about the Turbo lines on 140/170 not heard of it

    Coilovers, KW,Eibach are probably best to go for or others such as FK
