Incredible Results

First of all, I am pedantic about my cars. I had been away for a couple years and our family VW Sirocco had been serviced by the usual VW suspects in Cape Town. What I found when I got back was shortcuts had been taken and clear signs of impending issues had been ignored (sweating timing chain cover, PCV unit with traces of oil, and more). The car was also not idling to my liking, and then the dreaded Mk6 waterpump broke at its connection to the block. So at 160,000km I took our precious VW Sirocco to Racing Technik. First of all, I don't think I have ever had anyone inspect a vehicle so thoroughly, wow! Shout out to Franklin!!! (the floor mech) he really knows his stuff, and it was such a pleasure to have someone preemptively consider something before I had to mention it. They found bent end link stabilizers, moldy brake line fluid, and a number of things that really should have been picked up a long time ago by VW mechanics over the past two years. Well, we decided to give the Sirocco a well deserved makeover: Carbon Clean, New Injectors (I wanted new injects given the mileage), new waterpump, new PCV, new gaskets top and bottom for timing chain, new trans fluid... and a bunch of other items here and there. The results were nothing short of transformative, seriously, its as if the car is brand new, power restored, smooth idle, and an absolute pleasure to drive!!!

Thank you Carl & Franklin!
