VW advised me (2.0 petrol) the cambelt is every 80k or 4 years. I had mine changed at 80k but at a VW-AUDI specialist... Dealer quoted me 50% more.

As for the oil change, synthetic oils have a much longer life spam than traditional oil. 5k seems a bit short.

What company is that?
I've got double quotes without mentioning the lowering bit

They seem to have a good reputation, much better than Halfrauds when it comes to paint quality.

This scratch repair seems to be the best choise.

I just remembered a similar problem with my sub on the old car. The alternator was dying and the battery wasn't charging properly. Every time I was switching on the engine, the sub’s amp (300W) was switching off with the same “hard” sound you mentioned. It was switching back on once the engine...

Damn those criminals :evil: It happed to me the same way ... all 4 panels. I did some research a few months ago, to respray the whole side will cost you somewhere in the 500-800 price range. (500 if you are really lucky). I polished mine a bit with some G3 compaund so is not so visible now. I'm stil...

I guess the power cut-off is done by some safety circuit inside the unit that is sensing a fault or a power surge sowhere. The 3 second delay could be the initialisation time for the unit. I would try to isolate the problem by disconectig one by one, the conectors at the back of the unit. That is if...

The Eibachs are jsut great. In my opinion, they made the ride even more comfy that the stock springs. Eibach's are only 30mm drop though. I've researched changing them myself and it looks pretty straight-forward if you've got the right tools. The cost of tools and lack of experience with such things...

They come in sets of 4.

I finnaly recovered the grill from UPS depot... been sitting there for a week and nobody trouble with a card or phone call...

Anyway, the grille from goingfast on ebay is made by JOM and looks very well. Can't wait for the weekend to have it installed.

Did you pay the full price for it? I contacted them before I ordered a part and they did me a super discount to send outside of ebay and I paid through paypal. I've bought it with "Buy It Now" and instant payment. A bit dissapointed about delivery time as it still didn't show at my door :(

In think the local dealer is doing it for £69.95.

I've finnaly ordered mine from Going Fast on eBay.

Seem to be shipped from Germany not from UK as shown at Item Location. Placed my order on 12th and hopefully it will be here soon.

I set mine on ECON when I don't want to use the AC (eg winter time ) and it stays that way when I switch the engine on.

Never tried to switch it off all the way.

Xenon bulbs run much cooler than halogen bulbs, so you will be fine.

I've been told there is a leak from the rocker corver and the gasket should be replaced. I've been quoted £85 + parts for this job and I was wondering is this something I can do on my own? Do you know any guides / tighneting sequence / torque settings or should I just let the professionals handle i...

Ryan s Well after my whirlwind trip to get the GL, it looks like it will be broken before rather than after the summer Shocked . I bought it to use as my daily for the summer, with a view to using the engine for a conversion into my rocco. At this point I planned to get a diesel VW – probably pas...

fluke As title. Just wondering if they have done a syncro type model with 20 valve turbo ?? alecmascot I find Parkers Guide useful for questions like that.... colb666 On the B5's the only 4 wheel drive cars sold in the UK were 2.8 V6's or Tdi 2.5 V6's,later B5.5's added the 1.9 tdi to the 4 wheel d...

MarkP Im looking to purchase a half decent car polisher just to make my job easier when I do my Meguiars 3 step polish. Im well aware of the famous Porter Cable random orbital, amazing piece of kit, but its a tad expensive at over £150. Anyone got any reccommendations(sp?)? g60dubster The PC's mai...
