Re: buzzing noise from the rear , poss fuel pump???

Mine was the same, loud buzzing on ignition and when the dpf was doing a regen, then I started getting a jerk at 3k revs and some days the car wouldn't start, had to do a couple of hits with a hammer to get it going.. changed the fuel pump for a newer model out of the CR engined models (Q revision i...

Re: Tom's static b6 on Bentleys :)

Re: Tom's static b6 on Bentleys :)

Been working on the abc pillar and headlining trims recently, got this flexible vinyl spray from halfords and I highly recommend it!!! Basically if you get any runs or apply a coat too thick it doesn't matter as it sort of soaks into the plastic and changes the pigmentation, think of it like a perma...

Re: Tom's static b6 on Bentleys :)

That is super cool, I thought it would look a bit more stealth though in the grille. The black bit sticks out a bit. Still, love it. B-) I completely agree mate, that's the only part I really don't like about it.. I tried sitting it further back but it wouldn't flip as it was getting caught on the ...
