Anyone know if 88rsr still comes on here? Need to ask him a couple of questions about the touareg alloys as looking into them for my a4

Easiest option not be to just buy an RS4 ?

I can vouch for this, as a daily driver cheap coilovers did eventually wear thin and become annoying although they did the job of maximum lows, I've now decided to go down the springs and shocks route in my new car

Where abouts you from roughly? Maybe take it and see how it goes

EDIT..Actually I am in N.I. too

Thanks for quick replies folk's!

Ah cheers pal, is it for 1.9 tdi 130? Or are they all the same..

Anyone tried the new looms from darkside developments I think it is? Thinking that's what's causing the horrible and annoying vibrations so was looking at getting a new one instead of buying a second hand one

Yeah its Unbelievably tight! I thought going by the threads it couldn't be that bad, washing up liquid helped massively to get it on but definitely seems to have helped!

Got mines today so that's my Saturday planned..hopefully it's not to much of a pain to get in, an those damn vibrations are finally gone!

Cheers Gaz!

Is there definitely no added vibrations with the black rubber mount over the standard one? Going to order one tomorrow from the local stealers along with new discs for a Saturday of work on the car..

My best noise from my car is over bumpy road in my leather seats and you get that 70's chaise lounge porno eek eek eek sound

Mines does similar every morning driving to work on my lane lol

Anyone know if rusty bootlids caused by the number plate bulb holders is covered by the paint warranty? yes there is a thread about it in the B6 section http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=46089 VW will say it's not covered as it's not "through rust" but if you check ...

Very nice wheels, but definitely suit a wagon better than saloon!

A very thin coat of spray paint worked on mine.

Just a light misting then really? Only thing I can think of is that the colour won't match with a thin coat but to thick then the sensor won't work I suppose.

Is there anyway to paint the sensor's to match the bumper of a saloon so they still work?

What all can you do with the free version?

Went out to do another check, gauge shows 90 but climatronic is showing 75 cars sitting stationary.

My climatronic shows the same temp as what my blue tooth diagnostic things shows have an app on my phone for it can't mind what the temps are but they both showed the same as I was checking before one time to see what one was showing the proper temp and it was the climatronic, is it anything to worr...

Bit of a strange one I think, drive car as normal even in stationery traffic on a hot day the temp gauge is fine, but when driving up a hill on Sunday evening the temp gauge went to pretty much 90 and stayed there bare in mind wasn't warm as it was 12 at night, only seems to do it on this one hill a...

Might try that myself as I've a similar issue only my coilies have covered less than a couple of thousand miles, what's the best to spray on the spring cup you say?

Had another look at this today, took the pipe off the turbo actuator gave it a rev and nothing the noise stopped, would this indicate the actuator is at fault?

No loss of power or limp mode drives just as it should bar that noise which is slowly doing my head in!

Bump, anyone any thoughts? Was thinking it could possibly be the VAC hoses needing replaced so if the case just replace all of them with hose off eBay?

Would that not cause it to be doing it all the time not just when throttle is let off?
