Is this on the 1.6 Tu engine?, if so they can be adjusted -best looking in a haynes manual, there is no adjustment on the Gti-6 engine________________________________________ Team Supercharged Gti-6™ |

Same as an old a-series engine - undo the 13mm locknut on the adjusters, and then adjust them using a screwdriver until the clearance is right.Piece 'o p*ss, 30 minute job if that. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
