Struggling for part numbers.......

I use VAGCAT which is great but a little dated........so I found this:

http://www.partscats.info

Been handy so far, thought I'd let people know, might save some of those 'part number required' posts......but probably not @-)

Look for mkv golf guides, that is what they are based on. That's how I fix mine.

Re: Haynes or similar

I have a 1.9 (105bhp) and 2.0 (140bhp) tdi Tourans. Your best off doing searches for mkv golf when you are looking for stuff ( or newer if your touran is newer) as they are the same setup.

Re: Gauges......who runs what...in a TDi....

Ideal, Looking at VDO at the moment but that can change as no money has changed hands yet, but have just ordered a nsw pod.....going for a boost gauge, you running bar or psi? Just trying to decide what other as it's a double pod.

Re: greenstuff pads?

I have Greenstuff pads on with the Ultimax discs, they are better than the previous setup of Redstuff pads and Black Diamond disc, they used to need to 'warm up' to get good braking.....but Greenstuff have been great, going to try Yellow next but not sure what discs.

Re: Under seat subs

Not looking to loose the rear speakers for subs, mainly as I have bought all component set up to replace my blown standard ones. Looking for the active subs, mainly the alpine ones I have seen on eBay, mainly as I can link two together.

EBC Ultimax, got the part number from their website (usr1045) and got them from Camskill £139 odd at the mo, but sure I paid less.
