    clutch or boost leak?

    the diagnosis from the garage is that the clutch is on it's way out. so i thought while it was going to get done i might aswell upgrade it as i plan to eventually go for the hybrid turbo. they have quoted me at around £900 for upgraded clutch, single mass flywheel, slave cylinder and fitting...

    Temp sensor ?

    i had the same problem. mine was the thermastat though. but for £30 from gsf it wouldn't do any harm to change both. the temp sensor is easy a five minute job. the stat is little bit more difficult, but not a hard job.
