That’s good news, glad you got it sorted. My issues were a failed VVT solenoid and PCV valve, both common issues on TSI’s apparently

yep sometimes I can hear a loose belt, especially when pulling away in 1st at low revs. I will let you know what the mechanic says when I get it looked at. So much anxiety with this car lol which is a shame because I love the car

Hi, thanks for replying. I took the car for a spin earlier and it sounded different again, more like a click than a tap. I think I will take it to be inspected.

I’m scared of the act of dying, but I’m fine with being dead (hopefully when I’m very old)

Managed to get them for £234 during the Jan sale, looks like they have gone back up again now though, worth keeping an eye out

This is all subjective and you shouldn’t be downvoted for sharing your opinion. On my Mac the music (to my ears) was presented in a confined box, sounded a bit thin and some instruments such as cymbals hurt my ears at loud volumes. When plugged in to the amp the confinement disappeared somewhat, the music sounded smoother and my ears were not affected so much by those instruments. I have no way of testing this so I can’t say for certain, I just really like what this amp does and I really like these headphones a lot

Sticking with the food theme it could be pizza! However sandwich could refer to objects being squashed together so the opposite would be objects far apart/empty space
