Welcome

I use shell v power diesel.

Can't really say why, just became a habit i picked up from owning my diesel BMW X1

No complaints here, I still have a bottle of 2 stroke in the boot that I'm yet to try.

I managed to glue the aerial grommet thing down with some waterproof glue sealant .

I noticed on mine that the aerial base is white so I'm assuming something is missing from mine

Cleared the 93k miles a little while back. https://c7.staticflickr.com/6/5676/30459560254_20dd01875e_c.jpg Got the tyres taken off the S-Line wheels.. https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5801/31136789052_96a58bce1f_c.jpg I'm not going to drop them off to my friend to paint, and while I'm there I will be c...

I need to set mine up. Will have a look now

Aren't audi A3's 5x100 pcd? Might be wrong but I certainly would check :-?? Research shows some are but it depends on which year car they came on originally. Missed out on them anyways They would have been 5x112 I just got a set for my b5 from my mates a3 which was 5x112, although his was 2008.

Took no where near as many as I wanted too. I was very hungover on Sunday and spent my day lying down in the Slammed UK trade stand :hyst https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5638/31183408735_7c6cbe2dae_c.jpg https://c7.staticflickr.com/6/5635/30362331414_3b6238639f_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/6/5506...

Since I purchased the car it has vibrated on idle etc. Taking a wild guess that it is DMF related. Been on my to do list for a while now but Chris Oakman on the FB page was selling a brand new LUK DMF for the 5 speed for a bargain of £150.00 - I jumped at the oppurtunity. I need to go and collect t...

Well done.

Thanks!

So today I put on my new PD130 inlet, Darkside EGR delete, Forge 57-51mm reducer and carried out some vacuum simplification. Bit more confusing for me and my friend than I thought as I've not done anything like that before. Anyway got the recommended Mr Muscle oven cleaner out... https://c1.staticfl...

So came to the car a few mornings ago and was greeted with such... https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5712/30963164716_6d858e5ddf_c.jpg Managed to get it in at work and have a look. Drainhole was already clear under the battery and there were no signs of leaking around pollen filter area. Gave it a blast...

When the windows are covered with moisture and they need clearing for good visibility , this is my friend . http://www.wilko.com/content/ebiz/wilkinsonplus/invt/0264577/0264577_m.jpg The squeegee also fits inside the door mirror housings to clear the glass in two seconds . Already have one, but sli...

I have and they don't work very well, gonna give the elements a clean, if that doesn't work it is something I will look at replacing.

As twincam says its the door regulator panel seals, also a common failure, not the door cards. Covered many times if you have a search its all been explained how to do. Essentially using a good outdoor grade of silicone the sides and bottom need resealed on each door that leaks, ideally do all 4. h...

Thanks, I have took note of the part numbers you mentioned. WIll get them ordered.

I done coolant change around a month or so ago with waterpump and thermostat. Too late with the drains as I found a puddle in my passenger footwell. Removed battery and cleaned but the plug was already out. Gave a clean around the pollen filter area but couldnt see no sign of leaking. Been told to c...

I would put my car on show regardless of condition at certain shows but not at Ultimate Dubs :esm That show has a high standard I like to think.. I failed at Ultimate Stance this year I took minimal pictures due to being hungover and ended up leaving early Sunday too. I'll definitely be at some show...

Just bought these from a friend. Genuine Audi S-Line alloys 18 x 7.5J all round. They require 2 tyres to make them legal although the two tyres on there that are pretty new are budgets. They also will be refurbished. In no rush to get them on but sooner the better. https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5601...

Oh,just another point on interior odours. A friend recently bought a 2nd hand Mercedes for 27k.Looks great,but stinks of nicotine. She tried this from amazon for around a tenner and said the smell has gone. Dakota Car ODOR BOMB - Total Release Odor Eliminator / Air Freshener https://images-na.ssl-i...

I came around pretty late on in show season but hopefully by next show season the B5 can come out

I quite like it here

Gaz has a point. You have bought power flex bushes but elastic band tyres

Evening :esm After doing some work on the car on the weekend and not getting round to checking under the battery and carpets etc. I'm gonna try and get this done in the next couple of weeks. Is there anything else recommended to help the car battle through winter solid as a rock. My drivers door squ...
