are they just the standard size then or are they 280mm? If they are who sells them then??

Got my MOT today and just have a funny feeling it's going to fail on discs and pads. So what are we all running? I fancy something a bit different or should i just save the money and just buy standard?

Cheers Tom

I'm sure MR VW would have fitted one if they were that special....

I took mine to VW had them to have them sorted and they said they were at their highest setting :S anyway they were still pointing too low so i adjusted then manually and they have been fine ever since, never moved or reset so i'm not sure if mine are buggered but the manual option worked for me

just keep nitromorsing and scraping and sanding thats all i did however i found that the brown wood stripper worked better than the green metal stuff, it does take ages to get the flatted right back. just patients and time is all thats required

i stand corrected, never had mine off!! think i need to get rid of the 'gay oem cream' as i read on here

IIRC You should be able to put some rag around the 'tube' where it connects to the glass and use some mole grips and a small anti clockwise turn should release it. There is a picture somewhere ill see if i can find it.

I also had my Artec AD Cups that were left in the car after i had taken ...

Thanks, think ill get one ordered

Don't you just hate it when you forget how low your car is and drive out of someones driveway and you loose half your splitter

Anyone happen to know where i can get one either second hand or new? Even better if someone had a VW part no or a rough price...

Thanks Tom

Id go for the Lupo blades and arms, yes they are a pain to set up but once they don't wit the A-Pillar and don't scrape the scuttle they are pretty cool

even better when the whole lot was free

100% exactly the same problem i had, boot light fades and gets brighter and the alarm used to just go off at any random time. I just took the washer and wiper off that sorted the problem fine. Some people will choose to keep it on but i just think it tidies the back end up and its an incentive to ...
