Re: Clutch and flywheel....any realtime recommendations?
Can I be cheeky and ask how much it all set you back?

Clutch and flywheel....any realtime recommendations?
Hi guys. I've got an '05 Highline TDI 100 Estate with the AVB engine, 152k miles. It has recently started to judder on the clutch, and jerk quickly on set off. I know that the clutch and flywheel are going to need replacing, but what is the best way to go about it? Stay with the DMF? fit a single fl...

Re: What width wheels are you running?
None yet, bit I've had Jom on one of my cars, and friends have had them with no problems, other than the usual threads seizing. They do what they say on the tin, no frills.

Re: What width wheels are you running?
Are they Et15 now before or after adaptors. The rears will just about squeeze under, The fronts will poke loads And unless your running air, you'll have huge arch gap and balloon tyres as you wont go low enough on coils 17's are only just doable, 16's will look pants That's the answer I was after, ...

What width wheels are you running?
I have access to a set of Borbet A in 9x16 flavour. They are Porsche fitment, so will need adaptors too (20mm?), and ET15.
I reckon I'd get away with the rears, but I think the fronts would look silly/be illegal.

Re: motorway mpg impressive
My old '98 TDI 90 wagon would pull 50mpg average, and 65mpg easily on the motorway, not bad for 225k miles. A bit of a contrast to the '99 V6 Syncro tip wagon I was also running, 15MPG on the 2 miles to work, and 27MPG on a run. Now I've got a '05 PD100 Highline wagon, does 41MPG average, and if I f...

Re: Urgent decat Q?
I'm sure it splits at the bottom of the downpipe, but would have to check.
I've stopped work until I can get a bypass from somewhere, so no doubt I'll end up doing a ton of research 1st.
If anyone has any knowledge, please let me know.
Cheers.

Re: 2005 B5.5 Highline Estate in Black
Well, it's got 147k on it, but you'd never guess. Will need a timing belt in the next 10k, but otherwise it's absolutely perfect apart from 1 car park ding and a light scuff on the arch. They were replacing an indicator lens and the tailgate mech too as that was faulty. Not sure why so cheap, I used...

Re: 2005 B5.5 Highline Estate in Black
Yeah, it's still on there. Not sure they can end the classified ads? Deposit was paid yesterday, and it was being MOT'd for me today. I popped in at 5pm tonight to pay the balance, but they were busy with '11 plate cars, so I said I'd pay tomorrow when I collect. ....and I didn't pay that either :wi...
