Re: high clutch pedal

My 1.8t APU is extremely high too.

192000 miles, no slipping at all either.

Just going to leave it in until it destroys itself

Re: just seen this..

Id say its tidy but the light interiors really let these cars down.

Another thing is the price, I'd wouldn't pay more than £1300 for it.

Deffo shop around as theres loads out there

Hahaha oh my god, what a response.

Yes I have fitted them in reflector lights & no I'm not really bothered. If I get pulled, I get pulled.

Re: eBay silicone turbo intake pipes?

Think I need one of these myself as the small pipe near the bottom has snapped off. I have siliconed it on for now but not holding out much hope of it lasting.

Are they all the same for the 1.8t engines?

Mine is an APU.


Cheers
