So my 2008 SEL 170 ESTATE is on 97k , having a full service history and probably worth not a lot of money for the car, I decided to stick with it till dust shall prevail.

I have had the injector recall a few weeks back and hopefully the turbo will last another 50k however I would like to do some maintenance as there are a few issues

I have a knok coming from the drivers side when travelling over uneven surfaces , its very weird and some friend of mine changed 4-6 bushes and a control arm , but that didn't cure the problem , he also done 4wheel alignment but said he wasnt sure to tell me what the problem is , he thinks broken spring or damaged mount , would it be worth changing all our shocks and springs with all new bushes and control arm kit to make it like new ?

Would a new coilover kit improve anything or go OEM all the way ?

EGR valve , delete or clean ?

DPF / Remove ?

When my lift pump broke I spent a whole sunday trying to get it started , since then I noticed car a bit hesitant as if the turbo had more lag . When I changed my injectors the VW garage said the car is fine just low tire thread



Sorry about the essay
