It does not work like that, well not in my 2003 130pd sport , i bought 20mm arms and found i have 16mm arms but you can't just take the insert out as i tried it and the 20mm arm just floats about inside the socket. I think the hole size with the insert out is around 21-22mm. You will need a leg ...

Update, got the second kit and all fitted, pinch bolt came out with a bit heat from a plumbers brazing torch also had to heat the track rod end to get that bolt out. The off side rear lower control arm bolt was nightmare but eventually managed to get it out by taking off the fuel line protection ...

Yeah and all the new bolts you need.

Did but before they replied i had already ordered the 16mm kit from them as i need the car back on the road, so will just have to sell the 20mm kit myself.

Yeah the collar was stuck on the end of the ball joint, had to heat it to get it off. The 20mm definitely does not fit inside it.

Gets the pinch bolt off with just a little heat both arms replaced and the track rod end done. Now on to the lower and low and behold mines a 16mm end and i have a complete shiny new kit but with the 20mm end :( So next time I will use the vin on my car to get info instead of guess work. Hope the ...

It's designed to penetrate vinyl so maybe has something in it that will effect clear coat. You could have used plasti dip style paint that a lot of people use to colour their badges and that can be peeled off. Try a fine wet bit of wet and dry paper to see if it will come out.

Thats what I thought, couldn't take it for a drive, as it was stuck at the back of a narrow forecourt. With about 20 cars in front of it. Checked all the carpets as I've got a saloon at the moment and had the water problem with that. It worries me that something has been hidden by either the garage ...

Out of curiosity what cams did you buy.

Thanks for all the replys.

Just about to try the timing belt change on my avf 1.9tdi 96kw 2002 sport estate, and out of curiosity i bought a bluetooth obd2 and torque program from the android store, anyway the timing is showing as 63.5 degrees advanced. That can't be right can it, would the car still run, the belt was changed ...

With they Black Magic cans they sell in halfords it should only take you an hour or so.

Image you limk to does not have the full alloy in view so this is all i could do with what i found.

Can you tell i am of work and bored, and also trying to learn Gimp.LOL.

Nice lukhash, i have no idea what i am doing . lol.

Not done wheels yet just learning, so how about just spray the car candy green.

Just got email from mytyres and my tyres (Nokian eNTYRE) might be here in 8 days, bummer was hoping to have them fitted by the end of the week.

I know you don't see the benefit of it directly but i doubt VW would take the time to design, have it built and installed if they thought they could get away without it, it's not as if they are known for the generocity. It is more likely a long term thing not something you would miss overnight. Just ...

To get more back maybe you could break it yourself for selling on fleabay.
