you must have a good one then cos i didn't think they were all that, the main problem with 'em is (apart from the heads) they need to keep revving (hard!) to get any good performance and the gearbox ratios are all wrong, when they change gear the revs drop so low its out of the powerband and goes flat with no pull
much better if you use the steptronic shift though

yup there just as bad lol new engines new gaskets new everything it all fails lol even the nuts that hold it together its all ****e,
ok slight exageration, the new multi layer head gaskets not been around long enough yet to see if they work ok or not, if you by an exchange engine now they come with new style gasket.
hopfully they all ok
