My new Ebony Black 1.6 FSI Sport

S2Dicky I've gone the other way on my 54 plate storm ..taken the marketing teams idea of a fussy service plate off and fitted the original design by Luc Donkervolke.. a masterpiece of timeless design .. the flat service flap not purporting to be a cooling grill ... just my opinion

Yep each to there own I like both looks but the later grill matches my allroad nicely as well

Pleased to say since fitting the new N316 valve she is running like a dream and no warning lights, and I finally know what an FSI should drive like

Now I'm feeling the love for the the little bubble again need to get the wheels refurbed when the weather gets a bit better

I am almost there with my Fsi. I have the EGR pipe and the Vacuum hose to replace before I am pleased. After reading your thread I will also order the N316. Hopefully I will get the same satisfaction as you. It has been a long journey to get the engine rev happy, without hesitation and with stabile idle rpm.

A little update

Well it's been a month now since fitting the N316 valve and still all good and no dash lights

Here is a couple of pics from the weekend after a run out to the coast although it does need a wash and those wheels refurbed when the weather gets a bit better.
