I thought it was nothing to worry about as I thought the mat was damp after all the frost snow and rain on my feet but I put a heater in dried it out and then a towel under the mat to soak up any dampness well that was just over a week ago now I've just hoovered the car again and on removing the ma...

But.... check the disc shield isn't bent into the disc.

Thanks but I thought if they were that bad they would have told me to do them stright away

Just mentioned to my brother who fitted the Nightbreaksers for me he said the HID kits on eBay won't fit without a bulb holder or something! Is this true?

Also if any of you have fitted an HID kit recently could you post the link if they were any good!

Thanks

Afternoon all my Passats recently been in for a service and Mot and everything was fine! They just advised id need disks and pads in the near future! Over the last couple of weeks mostly when turning left I can hear a metaly grinding rubbing noise coming from the rear passenger side Any ideas on com...

Yes 15mm and 20mm is too much for ET42 as they will poke . Here's 15 and 20mm on ET47 . http://rs1310.pbsrc.com/albums/s645/Gazwould/5f7936e7-d7f9-4d86-8485-32cf393af0dd_zpsaa22cbba.jpg?w=480&h=480&fit=clip http://rs1310.pbsrc.com/albums/s645/Gazwould/20140127_162255_zps495b6e02.jpg?w=480&a...

Offset of Donningtons is 42 ?? wheel width and tyre width ? If ET 42 , 7.5J with 235 they will go on without spacers but to look the best , use spacers 10mm front , 15mm rear if above specs are correct . Thanks will try and test fit them! I know you say to look the best use 10 and 15 but would 15 a...

Sorry again for being a pest would I get away with 15 and 20 spacers? or would that be to much?

Thanks

Sport model bumpstops are shorter, standard ones are too long for lowering. The travel is shortened when lowering and bottoming out the travel will cause the car to bounce on the bumpstops making the ride unpredictable and erratic. You can cut down the bumpstops and reglue them in place but old bum...

Thanks for the replys guys but I've looked on eBay quickly and there seems to be 2 different kinds one that bolts to the hub and the other that takes longer bolts

Which is best?

Ride quality and Eibach are legendary . Yes top mounts , available from CP4L ECP , and actually oem as the VW numbers are scrubbed off , fronts are SKF and rear are Lemforder . I would get a fresh set of dust covers and bump stops as you would have to cut your bump stops down anyway . All items mus...

Never bought spacers for a car as I had them on Greenland Landrover and evey so often they came slack but I've bought a set of wheels so need some spacers

Where should I get some or are just all just the same??

Thanks

Thanks looks like I'm going to need them just bought a cheap set of Doningtons

Monte's are ET 47 so close to the front suspension . Throughout most of the VAG range an extra 5 mm at the back is best as the hubs are more tucked . So I used 15mm front and 20mm rear , so final offsets are , 32mm front and 27mm rear . So would thoses spacers be og for the Donningtons as well? or ...

What's the wheel specs mate ? Youll already know some of this info i just took it all off the website. Passat B5 - 5x112, 57.1, 37 Passat B6 - 5x112, 57.1, 45 Scirocco - 5x112 , 57.1, 42 So its just the offset thats different so im guessing ill need spacers but what width? Cna you just remind me if...

Morning all bit of a random question but which phone holders do you use? I've currently got an iPhone 6 and currently have an OSO Mount holder which got excellent reviews! The grip on the mount is fine doesn't budge but there's to much flex in the plastic for my liking the phone wobbles and shakes a...

Thought as much! Thought it was different but I've just emailed for some of what you've got instead!

Will the Doningtons fit?

Anyone with a B5.5 put the Scirocco 17" Donington Alloys on?

If so can you post a pic im thinking about putting them on mine!

Thanks

really? What's the difference between that and the one I linked? The one you linked to is a DAS6 which is a orbital polisher. The one Gaz linked is a rotary polisher. Check out detailingworld for a group buy on the DAS6 Pro (I bought one) from CYC (cleanyourcar). How much was the group buy on the D...

really?

What's the difference between that and the one I linked?

Here's me trying to go down the sensible route and haven't even thought about an insurance claim on a new screen! I had some bad reports of new screens though as they had been fitted rubbish and stuff so I really wanted to hold on to it! I've also read tooth paste but I could see that taking for eve...

This might sound stupid but does Anyone know how to polish a wind screen?

When the sun or car head lights shine through the scratches are annoying me and I think it's affecting my eyes at night

Thanks
