2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI

This Golf GTI came to us after an unfortunate encounter with a kerb.

The customer was concerned that something wasn’t quite right with the car following the impact, so we carried out a full inspection.

During our checks, we found:

* The driver’s side front lower arm was bent
* The rear driver’s side wheel bearing had collapsed
* And, something we’ve never seen before… the rear anti-roll bar had actually snapped 😅

While the vehicle was on the ramp, we also discovered a severe oil leak from the sump. We recommended replacing it, and the customer was happy to go ahead with the repair.

To get the car back on the road safely and ready for a wheel alignment, we carried out the following work:

✅ New front lower arm
✅ New front ball joint
✅ New rear wheel bearing
✅ Good used rear anti-roll bar
✅ New oil sump
✅ Oil and filter change

The Golf is now back on the road, safe and ready for wheel alignment. 🚗💨

Honda Civic EP3

This Honda Civic EP3 came into us for some maintenance ahead of an upcoming trip to Germany, where its owner will be visiting the Nürburgring.

The customer supplied all the parts for the work, including:

* Exedy OEM replacement clutch kit
* C-Hook front brake discs
* PBS front brake pads
* Hardrace front drop links

The clutch had been showing signs of wear for some time, and with such a long journey planned, the owner didn’t want to take any chances.

We fitted all the supplied components, ensuring the car is ready for the miles ahead and prepared for some spirited driving on one of the world’s most famous circuits.

This Honda Civic Type R Turbo came in for replacement ball joints and front lower arms.

The customer supplied all the parts, including:

* VTEC Monkeys polybush front arms
* Hardrace ball joints
* Front drop links

Once the vehicle was up on the ramp and the parts were fitted, we gave it a full once-over. Overall, it was in great condition. The only issues we advised the customer about were:

* A slight oil weep from the turbo oil feed line
* A split front engine mount

Other than that, it’s a clean example.

2007 VW Golf GTI Edition 30

The vehicle arrived with an ABS fault, accompanied by multiple warning lights illuminated on the dashboard.

Initial diagnostics using VCDS revealed that the ABS module was not communicating with the vehicle, indicating a complete failure of the unit.

A replacement ABS pump and module were sourced and installed. Following installation, communication with the module was successfully restored, and it was coded correctly to the vehicle.

During the brake bleeding process, the rear near-side caliper bleed ni**le was found to be seized and unfortunately snapped during removal. A new caliper was supplied and fitted to resolve this issue.

The braking system was then re-bled, restoring full functionality. The ABS system is now operating correctly, and the vehicle has been returned with braking performance as expected
