andyp Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 poss stronger pistons but it depends on price, im at a limited budget with repair costs and im just sick of not having a working car that i can actually enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yeah, i get you, no car atm as i'm between cars.Problem is i don't think people make them.Have you spoken to John about the JE pistons, i'm sure you can get them from the continent.

andyp Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Ive been without the car for nearly 3 weeks now and she needs to be 150 percent right. Uprated pistons is just an idea at mo, but if affordable then maybe go with them... but it depends on how much over the figure that i already have. Im at that stage where i am really fed up with everything that goes on with the motor so my mood isnt that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Would think John's JE pistons are a good idea, we looked at the cost of the VW OE pistons and it was crazy expensive. Did they find out what caused the oil starvation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they find out what caused the oil starvation?no clue to what has actually caused it, oil pump may have failed but obv cant tell tbh if it has or not.. piston wise cheapest so far is 94 quid plus vat for oe (ish) ones.. but i cant afford to go silly on pistons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
