Finding someone with VAGcom - Golich?

I have been onto the Frappr site to see who is local to me up here in Aberdeen, Golich is the only person even close, but I have not been able to get a response from him to my PM. Does anyone know of anyone else up in this area who could help?

Glad to hear it all went together ok, not really that bad, instructions just don't look that clear - but are. Agreed 1st-2nd isn't the smoothest but after that it's fantastic

Spoken to mechanic who worked on the car, sounded very knowledgeable. Told me not to worry, car will just feel underpowered. For information the N75 solenoid measures the boost pressure, feeding it back to the ECU, in this instance there will be a small leak somewhere to the solenoid (in the vacuum ...

Car is preface lift 99T, just under 99k, no apparent extra sucking / air noises coming from it, though I might open then bonnet at the same time as pressing the throttle to listen again. (I am sure the vacuum pipes were a recall issue were they not?) I would love to be able to get to MRC but they ar...

Car is in at specialist tonight for disks and pads tomorrow, he says he will blast the crud out from the gap for me. It did drain eventually, it was just down to the amount of rain over the weekend

Small flood in bulk head, where is the drain point?

I have allot of water sloshing around in the bulkhead below the windscreen where the battery is. I assume there must be a drain here to allow the water to run off and it is blocked. Can anyone tell me where it is please?
