Re: LC9A spray can

So there is the where the price is going to get me then!

Spotted a 500ml spray can with clear coat at £22 but they only have it up to year 2014, can't see how the colour would change though

LC9A spray can

Evening,


Can anybody recommend somewhere to get hold of a can of LC9A paint?

Some kind soul has clipped the wing mirror on the missus' 6r this afternoon and cracked the plastic. I've ordered a genuine cover but didn't think the paint would be harder to get!

Re: Ice on inside of windscreen - VW design flaw or fault?

Happened twice again this week... Booked into VW from Thursday for two days... When I'm applying gentle pressure to brake pressure it keeps squeaking as well... We noticed a hell of a lot of condensation on the windscreen each morning over the Autumn, so when the car was last booked it to have the ...

Re: Bad brake rubbing.

Ours has been back into VW twice with the same issue, and it has started happening again less than 2 months down the line, gets really bad on reversing too

Axle Stands

I'm looking to get the wheels off this weekend to properly give them a scrubbing, only thing is........ Where is the best place to put the stands beneath the car, also the jacking points don't exactly look like they are made of much!

Re: New wheels

Syenit is a grey metallic as opposed to knight which is a gloss black - same alloy, two finishes. So they are although they looked black on my screen, having said that if I'd properly read the description rather than look at the picture the colour is mentioned! :D :oops: http://www.volkswagen.co.uk...

Re: Strange breakdown

didn't hear anything from VW yesterday so I called them today, apparently the hose is now due in tomorrow. It seems that VW have decided to upgrade this hose at some point in the last 5 weeks (otherwise i would have thought that it would have been replaced during the pre collection checks......) Oth...

Re: Strange breakdown

Ours had just broke 1000 miles before this happened. I had a phone call from them last night saying that the replacement hose would be in today and they wanted the master fitter to take it on a test drive to try and ascertain exactly why the pipe came apart at the join, I don't know exactly why they...

Re: Strange breakdown

Thanks Jammydodger

I called VW whilst I was on the way over to help her out and the sales guy stayed until just before 7 and waiting for us to get it over for them to get it in tomorrow morning they also gave us a demonstrator whilst they check it over.
