Hi all
New here, just bought a 1.6 FSI Sport as a non-runner for £400. Runs but rough. Zero service history and was last driven in February. I have changed oil and all three filters (oil/air/cabin), and replaced the battery. Suspect coil packs/plugs, but that's not why I'm posting...
The front bar thingo has suffered an impact. I have sourced a replacement for £60, but wondered what other jobs I should do with the front end off? I read with interest posts on the 'death pipe' which I guess I should replace. Anything else?
Also, any recommended tutorials around for replacing the front bar thingo?
And while I'm here... the oil filler assembly under the bonnet is very loose, and the surrounding area is covered in oil. The coil pack immediately behind the filler looks new, so I suspect the filler assembly has been removed and incorrectly replaced. Is there a seal that might be missing?
