to the cable imprints):
D connector (grey cable, see imprint) - Pin 2
A connector (grey cable, see imprint) - Pin 4
Additional cable (grey cable, see imprint ...

Re: BXE, BKC Rod PORN

Seen this a few times on other forums, totally ridiculous failure due to trying to get more MPG out of engine by lightening parts and cutting on costs as well. The original 1.9 engines were pretty bullet proof on the bottom end, these modern lumps are just rubbish. It's not that they are highly ...

Re: BXE, BKC Rod PORN

Now the interesting thing is, i can confirm it was bearing failure which caused the damage, bigend spun, lost oil pressure, and killed the bigend cap

A good friend of mine that lives up country was so worried about this he booked his Golf (58 plate) in for bigend bearing replacement, his car had ...

BXE, BKC Rod PORN

Ok i thought it best to put this in related rather than the B6 page, the 1.9 is used in most of the VAG range

We all know the 1.9BXE isnt great, the BKC also suffers

Ive replaced/had this issue come in to my VAG indy garage 9 times since mid Jan this year, not a huge number, but in 15yrs NEVER had ...

Re: Need new discs and pads, worth upgrading?

Ds2500 are the best I've used (3000 are a little poor when cold) red stuff I've found noisy and the pad broke away from the backing on a few sets, green stuff were mega soft and didn't last long imho

R36 has no spoiler (bumper is one piece) and no fog grills (genuine ones - you can find Chinese made).
So looks like they quoted you on something else then R36

Bumper itself £375
fog grills £30 each
Spoiler £60
couple bits of trim £12 each
