Want to fit aftermarket radio + DAB
So I've owned two cars iny my life and been happy with the radios I've had, until recently I'm getting sick of normal radio and fancy DAB (Planet Rock :shock:) But I'm finding everything a little confusing!! I've found the headunit I want, Pioneer bla bla, £200, sounds fine to me. But with DAB, I'd...

Re: Is this where the alarm sounder should be?
Does anyone know if its possible to remove/replace the alarm without taking those two pipes off? My alarm is there but doesn't seem to be working, so guess it's died but want to replace it. My CCM is fine, was slightly moist before I done the fix so not sure if the previous owner just disabled it in...

Re: led sidelights
I've tried various leds as my side bulbs and none of them reported any problems. I had one set which flickered after about 8 months but had that down to the fact they were dying

Re: MPG -2.0se petrol? or rough miles?
My 2.0 azm is 430 miles on a full tank, and I roughly get that.
I probably get around 33mpg on the roads and about 36 on the motorway. I use to get 40+ on the motorway but not anymore.
I wonder if it's because my engine temp usually sits around 80 and not 90?

Seized Track Rod - Tracking
I had my drivers side tie rod changed, so the tracking needs to be sorted, but when I took it to protyre they said the passengers side was seized. Do they really need to adjust anything on that side, considering it's not been replaced/touched? I would of thought they'd only need to change the driver...

Don't pay for the code! VW give it to you for free, check your manual it'll say something like "VW will provide the code, free of charge"

Re: Rear Number Plate Bolts

Will see how much the bolts are from VW, but my ETKA is taking an age to upd...

Rear Number Plate Bolts
Does anyone know if the two bolts at the back can be replaced? Inside the bolts (which don't look like they can be replaced) is loads of plastic, guessing from a plastic screw. I managed to unscrew one side, but the other just has it all crammed inside and not sure what to do. I suppose one of my op...

Re: comfort needed?
Difficult to say, your options are really only from an SE, Sport & Highline.
I use to have sport seats which had lumber and didn't find them hard tbh, but I bought a highline leather interior because of my leather fetish.

Ask someone to sit in the passenger seat and see if it happens there,if not put them in the back behind you and see if happens, if not then it's something up with the seat

I've got highline leather seats in my car which I bought, and they have the heating inside but my car doesn't have the looms. I've seen two, one from Kufatec for £49, and one from Vw Teeside for £120, they both look very similar. Has anyone used either one? I want it to be as plug and play as poss...

Electric Window Motor Cog?
On our Lupo, we had an issue with the electric window, if you press down to open it, it would just click and nothing will happen. I bought a new regulator + Motor, and hunky doorly all fixed. I then thought I'd do some pocking around and I believe I know the problem now. Take a look at the link belo...

Re: Window Regulator Carrier Seal
Ah excellent cheers for that. The 3M stuff I can get is 6mm diameter, whereas the VW stuff is near 10mm I believe, but I may risk the cheaper stuff, and hopefully will be a nice seal, it'll be better than whats there now anyway :P http://www.vikingtapes.co.uk/3M_Products/3M_Adhesives/3M_Gunnable_Adh...

Re: Window Regulator Carrier Seal
Yer it's the same stuff I believe.
Is it hollow inside? how do you apply it? Put it on the edge or squidge it down?

Window Regulator Carrier Seal
I'm soon to change fix my Window Regulator, but I know the sela around the outside has failed in certain parts as it leaks a bit of water. VW sell a cord which is £35+ which tbh I can't really be bothered to pay for. I'e seen 3m sell something similar, does anyone know if the 6mm diameter Butyl cor...

Re: EPC warning light
Ah, if it's hesitation then I very much doubt it's the break switch and this doesn't cause the car to go into limp mode.
So it looks like something more expensive
Let us know what the problem is though
