They sell genuine VAG parts, usually cheaper than the dealers themselves, go on their site and see if they have one local to you

Prise the mirror cap off then non mirror side with something plastic Remove the wires to the glass and should pop off 2 torx bits each side of the motor Then it's out just disconnect I need the indicator too but can't seem to find one cheap? Only about £30 from TPS...if that, hardly breaking the ba...

Very easy! They cost about £30 from VW, or even Skoda as the MK2 Octavia has the same wing mirrors You need to remove the wing mirror cover and mirror glass, then there is two tiny torx screws holding the indicator unit to the wing mirror, undo those and unplug the indicator, then pop the new one ba...

If you want to actually improve light output rather than being a chump with super white lights then go for osram nightbreaker plus. Ive just fitted a pair to the volvo and the improvement is well worth the small outlay. Agreed, put some in my last Polo and they made the old bulbs look like tea cand...

Sounds a lot like what mine was doing, the bolt was on a little loose but the lower arm was moving and the noise was transferring through the whole subframe making it sound really violent

Check subframe bolts and lower arm bolts, mine were ever so slightly loose and made an awful noise when setting off

Did you change the dogbone mount too?

Yep hold it down for a few seconds on with ignition on or engine running and will give you a nice 'ding'

What about 205/55R 16 x 6.5 on a gti, found a good deal for some. After putting the figures into willtheyfit.com it comes up with therse results: Comparing standard gti (Old 215/40/17 x 7) With steels (New 205/55/16 x 6.5) Old New Diameter 603.8mm 631.9mm Circumference 1896.9mm 1985.2mm Poke 43.9mm...

Wednesday bump!

Is the abs light on? Check the little strip fuses on top of the battery, if it's anything like a 9n the fuse breaks bringing on the ABS light

NGK PFR6Q are the OEM plugs, think you can get copper ones which are meant to be better but won't last as long

As for the joint, genuine is probably your best bet, you know it's right and you know it's going to be good quality! Eurocarparts probably do a non genuine one

Look for blue smoke when accelerating, probably more when the engine is cold

Golf Monza's will not fit, but 17" 6r Polo and 16" 9N3 Polo GTI Monza's will fit

Need to sell some bits on! First up is some genuine 5x100 16" steels from an 04 Beetle. In very good condition for their age, they do have rushy patches but it is to be expected on steel wheels. Tyre wise they are all 205/45/16, two of them are Kumho winter tyres that I've owned for about 3 yea...
