Ropers101 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi all,so I got my GTI back from the garage today after going in for a bit of work: Camblet and Waterpump Passenger check strap Thermastat and housing Drivers side window switch New oil and filters Also fitted all new Mtec brake disks and pads. Anyway when collecting the car the mechanic told me that when changing the plugs he noticed that my HT leads will need changing,I took this into consideration even though I changed them around a year ago. Anyway surely enough during test driving the car it started misfiring so I'm after a new set of Ht leads and a new cool pack. Do people recommend oem parts as they are pretty expensive considering I just paid out £590 for the work listed. Also the passenger side window only goes down with the passenger switch but will go up with the drivers side switch. When the passenger window moves it squeeks so bad my ears nearly bleed and it seems very stiff,any ideas on this? The last thing is when I was "testing the brakes" the epc light came on and I noticed that my brake lights are no longer working,have I broken the switch by pressing too hard? Any help is appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Okay so after leaving my car overnight the epc light is no longer on and my brake lights are now working so one less thing so worry about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaparana Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi also from jersey, I had that problem with the lights with the light going on and off over a long period changed the brake light switch and it sorted it also did my ht leads and coil, got both from lucas house, one set of leads was dodgey which they changed under warranty, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm gonna pop down to Lucas house on Saturday as that's the next time I'm free,did you use oem parts or aftermarket? Always nice to hear from someone in Jersey!

imaparana Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 no worries. the parts from lucas were aftermarket, oem stuff was gunna be through the roof.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I agree but the leads I've got on now we're aftermarket and haven't exactly lasted very long haha,must of been 8months since I got them. im hoping they've got the parts in stock so that I can fit them Saturday. I'm going to paint my calipers at the same time because they've gone pink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaparana Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Fair enough, might be worth going oem or magnacore leads, you might be lucky, might be worth calling them to see and if not they might be able to order it for the weekend, mine are getting that way haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ropers101 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yeah I will give them a call. I don't suppose you've had your wheels refurbished have you? I've had a look around and £75 per wheel seems pretty steep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
