Wow! We apparently needed to entice Johnny over here sooner! Look at all the new people I've activated since he joined!

New guy here, just wanted to say hello. Sweet little informative forum!
I happened to be digging into the dreaded bore scoring issue to educate myself and it lead me in this direction as I went down the rabbit hole. I've watched FSI's series and learned quite a bit. Luckily, I am not dealing with it at this time and was curious about prevention. Saying I'm still concerned would be an understatement and I'm currently debating selling my C4S. I knew I should've sprung for the Turbo. :? Thanks for having me.
2004 C4S

Welcome! Glad you found us. I too have a C4S but a 2005 and have suffered the dreaded bore scoring syndrome. I was lucky enough to get Jake to build me a smooth powerful engine that always brings smiles. Jake's bore scoring series has some good hints for living with bore scoring if necessary.
Never gonna make you cry...

Well, based on what I saw on Rennlist (dammit), you two should get along just fine. :D

Does he also live next door to VW HQ? Or did you screw him out of picking up a nice car cheap? :P ;)
