Hi im new here, was out in my gf/s car the other day and the glow plug light started flashing on and of constantly at about 1 second pulses. i suspect one or more of the glow plugs are needing replaced. I had a quick look under the bonnet today but couldint see any glow plugs? Any ideas?, any ...

Yeah you have a fair point VDUB_CHICK
I have the date down of when my next service is due. I dont due more that 10k a year so should all be ok.

Thanks! I got it done at the dealership mainly cause I was in the area and thought it would be easy to drop in.
I not been driving long so little things ...

All Sorted
Took it to my local VW dealer this morning and they looked up all the service history and someone came out with thix examiner style system and reset it.
Apparently it is possible it wasnt reset correctly last time
Worry over

You really didnt need to take it to a dealership to get it ...

what size wheels are they?? And is your car lowered?

I have et30's on mine but they are only 14's, sit perfectly, fill the arch out.
They are in line with the arch.

Looks really nice!

Which splitter is that? the GTi one?

Not sure about the oil change from them, id say probably about £50ish?

As for brake pads and discs, use eurocarparts.co.uk thats where i got mine from. Good prices and next day delivery.

Can somone please photoshop the wheels to have black centres and polished rim?

Much appreciated

I saw a SLR on the A1M last weekend, lovely lovely car! I tried to catch up to take some pics but that just wasnt going to happen!

ok brill thanks.

Ill probably get it done by someone who knows what they are doing, ive never done it before, id probably be ok with the springs if it was them on there own but dont fancy doing the shocks too!

Hi, looks good!

Is that 60/40 or 60/60?

Thanks for the comment. I think it's a 60/40 kit, as the back sits up a bit higher. I may adjust it after it settles, but I'm really happy with the stance now. 8)

Im thinking on getting the same kit, wanted 60/60 all round but after seeing yours may be ...

Hi, looks good!

depends what size wheels you have too. you can have anything from 20 standard 38 on 14's and 25 upto standard on 15's if not too low.

I have et30 on 14's and it fills out the arches lovely, you dont want them sticking out past the widest part of the arches very much unless your gonna change them ...

ET35 is the recommended for 6n2's. You can go to ET25 on 15's if your not going too low. or on 14's you can go to ET20.

Go for ET30 if you want them to fill the arch nicely!

I have a mk5 TDI, mine has got red DI though dont know if there is any difference. Standard ouput is 75 bhp and i think 144lb.ft of torque. I bought a second hand tuning box which has made it much quicker (taken about 2 seconds off most times).

Yeah mine was like that (i think) before i took the ...
