hi, my gearbox is leaking how easy is it to sort? is there a gasket in there or just metal to metal? its leaking from the bottom [edit] just smelt the oil and it smells like dot oil and is see-through, smells rather like my brake fluid, which is worrying cos i just changed discs and pads on the fron...

ill take pics of the conversion with all the details for a diy guide when i borrow my mates cam and post it a proper guide as this is just randomness!

if its a mark4 then according to my haynes the brown/red wire is the one from the ignition when u remove the key, but theres a brown/red wire also going to the front tweeter, check it with a bulb to make sure its a 12v wire, swap this wire with your positive supply wire on your radio and it should b...

should have first working model in my car soon enough, one module will drive one window as it was a bit complicated to work it out for two.

[edit] one kit will drive two windows, installation will involve some soldering / wire splicing

hey, my friend had one of these installed with 8 gauge cable and it was fine, 4 gauge looks so much nicer tho

you could program a microcontrollor to detect if the window up/down button was quickly pressed and get it to roll your windows all the way up/down. ive been thinkin about doing this for some time now as it does get annoying waiting for them to roll all...the...way...up lol, anyone interested in a ki...

not too sure if it is legal, but to switch between the two modes just connect pins 87 and 87a to the outer two terminals on an spdt switch (single pole double throw) and the inner one to the other end of the indicator wire. tried this tonite an found out that the lights on the dash stay on with the ...

aaah lol ive only just realised what you guys are after, the diagram above provide a small voltage to the lights which keeps the indicators half on when your side lights are on, it looks like your after indicators which are on normally and off when flashing, this is what your after ( the12volt style...

for those of u that are interested, here is a diagram of adjustable running lights

the locks in the polos dont unlock when you yank the handle, installed a button lol, not hard

as many know the door pins are a security issue, so i replaced mine with red 8mm leds to fit in with my scheme, fit as below: note: will only work if you have the always on power windows bridge installed ( jumper between pins 30 and 87 in relay socket 113 ) remove door panels, drill door pin hole ou...

i replaced the pins with leds and installed an unlock button with security in mind but overlooked my mot which is due tomorrow :S, i suppose this should be fine as my mates leon has no unlock button and u cant get hold of door pins when locked, like the audi ones. nevermind lol, panic over

Does your car have to have door pins or a mechanical way of unlocking doors to pass an mot or will an electronic unlock button suffice?

you could run a few volts less than 12v from a regulator to the indicators which would make them illuminate dimmly, just use diodes so ur indicators dont turn into hazard lights lol
