Re: Handbrake Cable Replacement
Pretty sure its a bit more than " just bolts on to the top of the arm"! I think a bracket on the cable supports the brake hose and means having to take that apart & rebleed the system! Dunno why they changed the design of this, used to be a simple job to change the cables!

turn off 30 sec auto lock?
After breaking a window today to gain entry to my car which I had stupidly left the keys inside without starting Id like to know if there is some Vagcom code to turn this feature off?

Re: replacing outer cv boot
any links a pic? still not clear about which way to fit the cupped washer. And does it go between the plastic sleeve & the cv joint or does the plastic sit against the cv?

Re: replacing outer cv boot
Cheers! Thought that would be the case unfortunately!
What is the correct way round? cup side in or out?

replacing outer cv boot
just replaced my outer cv boot but have found ( inside the old one!) a cup shaped washer same diameter as the driveshaft! Should I strip it all down again to fit this or is it not an essential part?

Re: drivers seat jumps up?
Hi, yeh, the height adjuster seems to ratchet ok & will lift the seat but when I sit on it , it moves down & then when I get out the car it moves back up! So yeh, Im guessing has something to do with this!

rattly engine cover
any tips on how to make the engine cover on a 2005 TDI fit a bit better & stop its constant rattle at idle? Ive replaced the rubber things twice but they dont seem to hold it tightly enough. Or is it best just to throw it away?
