Depending on the depth of the swirls you'll be hard pushed to remove them by hand. As an alternative you can fill them temporaraly with a glaze such as poorboys black hole which is excellent for black paint. Seal it with some decent hard wax and that should improve the finish and hide some of the li...

Yes could still be the release bearing, it stops when the clutch is depressed as it's not engaged. In terms of replacing, It's a gearbox off job unfortunately, that's the most labour intensive part. Replacing the bearing is relatively easy and the part is cheap. Maybe around 200 all in? Can't be 100...

Hi Max

You could get a tidy 6N2 polo for around £1500. A 1.0 MPI might be a good choice to get you started, Alexperkins had one for his first car and was very fond of it. Cheap insurance and tax too!

Welcome along!

VCDS is good for things like lock/ unlock bleep (which i find annoying), but mostly just fault finding and clearing.

49K that's impressive!

I believe they are the same mate. Most retailers have an exchange process whereby you take your old one in and get a new one in return.

Carbon lined syncros mmmmm

Nice Craig, i did some holes in my airbox too. Sounds gnarly still
