Re: Exhaust nut/bolt query

I welded the bolts to the downpipe to make it easier to remove and replace from the top.

Re: Do you use a dremel ? What do you use it for ?

I have the bigger cordless one. Its great for cleaning brake callipers etc.

It can be used to sharpen knives, even Chainsaws with the attachment, but it wont be easy as it only has a small grinding edge. Youll end up with wonky knives. Just use a steel or a whet stone.

Re: Urgent HELP REQUIRED PLEASE (BOOST PIPE)

Post a pic. The lugs wear of the intercooler pipes and the clips have nothing to grip on to. A new hose and clip should sort it.

I dont like the look of the bit for the dash. Do you have to use that or can you just have the audible warning?

B5 estate parking sensors.

Evening all, I'm wanting parking sensors on my 1998 B5 estate. Can anyone recommend a kit please? I'd like colour matched. Mine is the silvery blue one. :D

Thanks.

Re: please can some help

The one you purchased, was it a cheap pattern one fro euro car parts etc, or genuine? If from Ecp you might as well put the old one back. You need a genuine one. Either good used or new.

B5 estate sill protectors

Hi guys, does anyone have sill kick protectors fitted to their estate? The ones that stick to the bottom of the interior door opening. I'd like to tidy up over a few scratches and thought these would be ideal.

Cheers.

Some forums make it compulsory when joining.
