    Thank you everyone for your help!

    On Friday I picked up an absolutely superb 4.2FSi which although higher millage is in great condition inside and out. Just a few minor jobs to do to tidy it up but first off plug it into VAGCOM - I'm just waiting for my genuine cable to arrive in the post.
    It's got a TPMS error of some sort and I need to fit a towbar.

    I'm a happy man.

    They are relatively easy but can kill your back, one of my ex mechanics was a little, vertically challenged, and he used to climb in the engine bay as with his toes on the floor he could not reach the DPF.

    That’s probably a little optimistic taking into account rusty nuts, also I won’t fit aftermarket DPF’s for any reason, only have the originals cleaned or refurbished used.

    Continental make Uniroyal and Barum... when I were a lad the latter had a disastrous reputation... I remember an article in Motor around 1980 on tyres and they simply disintegrated. By the way, Pirelli are now owned by the Chinese state chemicals corporation, Chem China.
