Re: Please help Sold Car Privately
You are not Tesco mate!!! No 7 days cooling off period either! Private seller, got the money, enjoy it! If buyer gives you hassle contact police tell them you feel you're being threatened or smth along those lines.

Re: What tyres are amazing all rounders?
I had Good Year F1-s on the front. I got around 18k out of them. Grip was very good. I changed the rears for cheap BCT and I regretted it immediately! Got some Pirellis P7-s now and they're good.

Re: GSF parts quality???
GSF don't stock their brand only (vetech). They do oe brands as well. Which are a bit dearer but as I get a very good discount I nearly always go to GSF.

Re: Bloody Alarm!!
I had the same problem. Bonnet microswitch was the culprit. When you open boot or bonnet, do you get the coresponding light ON on the mfd? If not, you've narrowed it down to one of them. Good luck

Re: 505.01 Vs 507.00
From what I've read on the net, the 505.01 offers better cam protection. I use the quantum 5w40 anyway.

It can be done with vcds. Desertstorm (Karl) did it for me last year. Very pleased with it!

Re: TDI 130 OIL which is best
5w40 vw spec 505.01 is better in protecting the camshaft!

I've seen 52 reg ones as well with the 130bhp engines. Personally I like the post 2000 shape more.

Re: Boot Microswitch
Mine's an estate, but should be the same. I removed it, sorted out the leaking washer pipe and cleaned it. That was 2 years ago.

Bigest headache is taking the turbo off. Unless you have access to a ramp its gona be difficult. Good luck.

Re: Turbo repair or replace??? What would you do?
I just changed my chra (ebay £99). Its been ok since, 5k. No more oil seeping from egr either. So personally I'd say just change chra.

Re: 1.9tdi sport shocks OE part number
Can't afford the Eibachs. Was thinking of FK 40mm springs? They're around £60 comparing to Eibach's £140-£160 from Germany.

Re: 1.9tdi sport shocks OE part number
Mine are not leaking. Just thinking that as it's done 130k and it's a 9 yr old car they would be tired? Cheers.

Bilsteins double the price of Meyle. Are they still worth it considering I'm on a budget? Cheers
