    OK, no pictures because this is a horrible and messy job so I am only giving tips because this must have been covered at least 1 billion times online. 1. Get to the valves. 2.

    Low compression on my FSI....what to do?

    I am girding my loins for replacing the clutch on our FSI. Has anyone been there before please? I can't find anything on this forum. I am no stranger to changing clutches (mostly Saab ones). I presume that most of the work goes on under the car and that one doesn't have to do anything silly...
