Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

We pulled the gearbox on Sooty today. I'm sending it off to our connection at VW Motorsport for it to have some love. This week I will clean up the engine bay, just general maintenance and fit the SPEC Clutch & flyhweel.

My fuel gauge JUST started moving after 300km of suburban driving - I was worried that it might have becomed jammed from the amount of extra fuel I put in using the vent trick.Originally posted by Blitzen View Post

Is there any danger with putting so much more petrol in the tank? I tried it the other day but only once to see if it worked.

Yes for petrol if you aren't going to use the extra fuel immediately as expansion of the fuel, if it warms, could cause it to flow out of the tank. For a fill up just before you go for a longish drive, it should be fine.
For a diesel (like mine), this isn't an issue.Resident grumpy old fart

Yeah, you are lucky you have a diesel... The best I have got is 240km before the fuel gauge needle started moving...Originally posted by kaanage View PostMy fuel gauge JUST started moving after 300km of suburban driving - I was worried that it might have becomed jammed from the amount of extra fuel I put in using the vent trick.

Received my 312mm front and 280mm rear discs and carriers from ECS tuning
Going on the car on saturday. Using the same calipers for now, but will change up to the TT variety when my current pads run out.Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interestingComment

Are you able to run 312mm discs on standard calipers (with spacers)?? Would love to hear your impressions once done.Originally posted by danish View PostReceived my 312mm front and 280mm rear discs and carriers from ECS tuning

From what I read it is certainly possible. I bought the discs from ECS and they seemed to think it would work alright. That whole principle of levers or some such
I'll know for sure come around 4pm saturday I supppose!Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interestingComment

Yeah, that increased leverage and disc size should prove considerable/noticable, assuming the mount is solid enough, doesn't flex, etc. Had used to do similar things with the subaru forester, run XT brakes on the GT, marginal increase in size provided a solid improvement in braking ability.

I have a set of calipers if anyone wants themMODS- TOO MANYComment
