Does anyone else find there key really hard to turn when the weather is hot?

Mine was parked on the drive for most of the day on Friday and i went out in the afternoon. It was boiling inside and the leather nearly burnt my legs! :lol:
But it took about 2 mins before i could turn the ignition on ...

I knew it wouldnt be long before i found you here Luke

Good to know this thanks, Im putting 16" on mine in the next few days and need to sort the spare out.

So your saying you can fit a 16" in and close the boot carpet cover?

Looks to me like the illumination plug which is normally a brown wire pre can-bus.
My Lupo had one going to the in dash CD changer.

I think you need to switch the Red and Yellow wires round or the unit forgets its settings.
And then connect the ACC switch to the blue one.

It wont turn on without the key so no point in trying that one, It will continue to run untill the key is pulled but thats it.

I got my switched live from the Aerial power behind the HU.
Its the blue cable in the harness but check it with a multimeter first just incase.
I just made a "y" adapter so i can plug the switched ACC into it and also have the aerial power too, No problems yet and have it like that nearly 12 months.

Hi Guys

Really sorry i have not been back, Ive been manic at work.

Does anyone want my set as since putting my name down i think ive bought a corrado VR6 so need the money for that really.

Thanks
Mat

Put me down for a set.

Anyone know if they are easy to fit or is it a bumper off job?

If its an 06 are you still in your 3 year warrenty?

If so get it to VW ASAP rather then paying out for all these parts.

I wouldnt bother guys, I have seen plenty of 1.8T's running huge power on the standard manifold.
Its really not worth it unless you intend on changing everthing else to make it worth while.

Umm, You painted your rear drums...Lol

Do you have alloy wheels?
Alloy wheels get stuck to hubs really badly and they need a good wack to get them off.
You can put copperslip on the face of the wheel where it meets the hub to stop this.

When driven hard and the brakes are hot the calipers can sieze to the hub so when you move it feels ...

Hi Guys.

Im new to this site! Dont know how ive missed it as im on every other VW forum nearly! :roll:

I bought a 1.4 Polo SE back in about October 2008 and LOVE it.
I think i have quite a rare spec as ive not seen anyone else with factory cream leather and it also doent seem to be an option now ...
