Glad I can help!

Really good and helpful video. I've just bought a 308gti so appreciate you posting this. Are there any good forums for help on these cars?

@xiolage no worries. In that case, I may be back in the future asking for help!

Great video mate! Had mine fully valeted with some detailing today. What are your thoughts on replacing the pistons with the stainless steel ones from godspeed? I also keep getting tempted by an ECU remap. There is a garage in Maidstone that do it and the stats are impressive- 263 to 295hp and 340nm to 380nm.

Thanks mate, I have actually got a video of me replacing the pistons with the god speed ones.. would recommend. Regarding remaps etc, I'm going to upgrade as much hardware as I can before getting it mapped. 💪🏼

I did mine mate I used millers oil Peugeot spec of course, the air filter is a right pain in the arse. Great vid again 💯

Let’s see how it fairs on the next oil change. Only one way to find out! 🤪

is it a 7mm square drive for the gearbox plug? if you find yourself stuck, a interior door handle (from your house) is the same size.

I'm not sure on the size, however sounds about right. Absolute life hack right there.. thanks matey!

Good work bro! And the oil filter?

Yep, all changed. Struggled to film it as it was so tight between the inlet pipes!

Hey man, what kind of oil dipstick is that? The stock one, as you mentioned, is impossible to read, I'd like to replace it

@@xiolage the one my GTI BPS has is different and it seems even worse than that... Well, I guess I'll try to find a better one! BTW Nice videos, would have liked to buy a blue GTI but I found a black one, still an amazing car, have fun with it on the track!

What year is your GTi? Could it be the THP vs PureTech engine difference?

@@xiolage mine's 2021, an online search seems to prove my dipstick is the stock one (bloody awful) and yours is probably what the OG owner considered an upgrade, that's why I was asking you... Well, I guess I will have to take it out several times in order to clean the canal a bit before taking an actual reading

@SpiritCrusher89 Oh right, yep the 2021 has a PureTech engine which i’ve heard is slightly different. Could involve a different dipstick!
