Hey guys, In my GTi I currently have an engine management light on, an airbag light and my Aircon seems to turn itself on and off whenever it wants. I can't scan anything other than abs on the car to find faults as all I get is "link error". When I try to scan I can hear what sounds like t...

Hey mate,

Just seen your reply, got bolt out easy enough, took the whole lot apart and replaced bearing aswell as was old anyway and had a spare new one sitting around collecting dust.

Cheers

Will do man, and will be hand extraction ones. Yeah if you could find the part number I'd really appreciate it, I know they are a tight fit even without the bolt but I'd prefer not to risk/bodge it.

Not much left to grab unfortunately, yeah was gonna get a set of these, reckon they'd do the trick? Got the bolt moving ever so slightly with a little effort but all of a sudden the head went like chocolate... got it soaking in penetrating fluid overnight. Will also need a new bolt, don't suppose yo...

Hi mate will do, have ordered regulator just now and will change it asap, have a feeling it's more the alternator voltage that's messed it up tbh, did rear abs sensors today and one of the bolts has snapped.... Any tips for that? Lol .... Hoping this car will give me a break soon haha cheers

Hi, My starter was making a grinding noise for a while so i replaced it with a spare one i had which i know was 100% working. It worked ok for a day but then the next morning it made the same grinding noise as last time... I checked all the bolts were still tight and connections were fine. Anyone kn...

Been searching into what could be the cause but no luck whatsoever..... so far i have: -Bled the brakes -Replaced Passenger side rear bearing as needed doing -Replaced the ABS pump control module -Replaced Both Front ABS sensors (needed doing anyway as came up on scan) -Checked, Cleaned and tried di...

Does anyone know of the correct oil? Ideally need to order tonight or asap really!

Hello, Im going to do a complete gearbox drain and refill however i cant for the life of me find the correct gearbox oil to buy? whenever i search i get the same specs of 75w90 but multiple different oem codes such as VW G 052 145 A2 and VW G 060 726 A2 . which one of these is correct? also apparent...

I have but they are 250 quid for the pair as theu are either raceland or v-maxx and i dont want to drop that kind of money just because of a s**t little rubber bush

ok ive just gone and has a good look with my torch, im 99.9% sure they will be the same rubber mount as the cheapy fks and joms you can buy, the coilovers i have on though are either raceland or v-maxx, whats the best way to go you reckon?

Not necessarily. Each manufacturer can make a bush thats unique to that part. It only has to bolt onto the 6N2 chassis. Its outer diameter could differ between manufacturers Hmm i suppose that makes sense, why is it the little bits are always the bloody hardest to fix haha il get under my car today...

alexperkins wrote:Probably two new rear shocks then im afraid

If i was to contact a company that does coilovers for my car, surely the bush size would have to be the same as any other company as it is specific to my car?

alexperkins wrote:That bush isnt listed as a replaceable part

I would suggest speaking to the manufacturer of your coilovers

Coilovers came with my car when i bought it, no idea of the make unfortunatly!

I've got aftermarket suspension on my polo gti and the lower rear bush on one of coilovers has started to really wear and needs replacing (pic of an expample attached) anyone know where i can get just the bush for this? thanks. https://www.clubpolo.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2015/post-919051-0-9623340...
