There are loads of threads and similar issues on here bud. Have a search using the search function. More often than not it's probably a new loch mech that's required.

Hi, Been awhile since I've been on but as expected its a cry for help thats brought me back... Unlocking with the fob I'm finding that my passenger door of my 2004 B5.5 Estate is intermittently not unlocking, of course the first thing I do is lean over and use the internal handle which when pulled m...

my stubby set turned up today that I can squeeze in door jamb likewise it said spline but is actually triple square/xzn - thankfully that's what I wanted. I quite like Bergen/US Pro for the price so was looking for the set id potentially get the most use out of for the cheapest price. https://www.am...

I always knew its was the angle of the points but in checking what I thought came across this which put it better. https://forum.autokacik.pl/uploads/monthly_11_2010/post-53490-14352510595626.gif this one too.... http://www.cnctechnw.com/pics/TripleSq-vs-12Pt.jpg will see how close the kit I ordered...

Thanks, I don't see how they could of hammered it in as it would have originally been against the chassis but when I looked at the rear doors they were defiantly multipoint. Annoyingly none of my current sets are have enough clearance do to the job anyway so have just ordered a stubby set of torx an...

Just tried a T45 in my current door and was much better..... think the person who removed the eBay door just minced the head, however im going to need some different Torx bits as mine are too long

Hi,

Got my replacement door but now I'm struggling to see what bolt pattern they are....... T45 doesn't fit and T40 is too loose.

I've read that VW use XZN/Triple Square but it only has 6 points?

Ha, thanks very much..... went for Michelin Energy Saver+, tyres seem really boring for stock rims.

thanks again!

Hi, This is my first time buying tyres for an estate and I mainly got the car to haul camping gear once a year and the car is maxed out in the boot, 4 people, dog and a roof box - potentially a trailer also(!). I'm thinking I should be going for the heavier load rated tyres (95) - does that seem ove...

thanks, mine is a 2004 and donor is 2005 so hoping for a straight swap

Talking about the front?

Hi,

Hi, So, I returned home to find a substancial ding in the nearside (passenger) door of my 2004 B5.5 estate. oh fiddlesticks!. Found out the car is "Stone Henge Grey" paint code "A7S", is my best bet just to keep an eye on eBay or anyone breaking down the car say on this forum? Ju...

indeed we have.... quite it bit its roasting. starting to feel better now. phew! THANK YOU. i was just coming on to say that the ccm was totally dry and after dip testing one hand in coolant and the other in the dripping fluid it definitely isnt the same consistency. you live and learn. thanks again...

So, just pulled up somewhere and noticed a puddle under the car. Pictures are truly terrible but best i could get laying on the floor and cant find how to increase the bightness on the phone. Fluid appears clear and has no odour so im ruling out fuel, oil - possibly coolant also as (at the moment) t...

thanks, the putoline is green :) I'll get the 'G13' - but what does that mean exactly? ill most likely get it from TPS but could you also get it from Halfrauds for an on the go top up if desperately needed - would they sell G13? is it not all just ethylene glycol? (although my old Pug needed OAT coo...

Hi, Am I going to need some VW spec xyz or could I just use the stuff I got for my motorbikes a little while back (they now run waterless so would be good if it had a purpose)... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180820/738b1c92e7d9f5cbd4164a39780a610b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180820/...
