Think there is a new trader on here called The Parts Department that deals in OE parts mate, maybe worth a quick PM?

I'm curious to know if this works too. Keep us informed because mine stinks haha!

Depends what's fitted to yours mate. Either by removing the alarm or doing a vcds scan should give you the right part no.

And for mine. Chinese copy on eBay for about £25.

Nope unfortunately wheel and arch liner off. Done in about 15 minutes. Only a few torx screws hold in it in. Ive thought about extending the wires to move it though for future. Oh and the metal bracket that holds the siren is held on by 2 rivets so will need drilling out. Sent from my iPhone using T...

Not sure on internal sensors but the alarm siren is more than likely buggered.
Drivers side wheel arch up near the door hinge (behind the wing though)

I removed mine and split it open and inside the battery had leaked and destroyed the circuit board.

Its with admiral mate.

Hope this is allowed here as it seems to be a general oil thread now..
What oil is recommended for a 1.4 Astra GTC that I can also use in the BKP Passat? Got services coming up shortly so probably cheaper to buy in bulk.

Sorry if this is off topic.

Worth going poly or OEM rubber?

Strange to find indicators only being 10w, I would have thought 21w as a minimum?

Definitely 10w?

How come it doesn't sit straight? Is it a Chinese jobby with a little light sensor?

Ive priced up doing this myself. Oil is around £100 plus filter and you need VCdS to monitor oil temp when re-filling. So if you have VCDS and don't mind using a Saturday afternoon then I'd say do it yourself. Otherwise dealer price is OK and ill be paying it in a few months because I don't have VCD...

I did the same fitting leds in my luggage area. Mine was a 10A one (red) should help you narrow it down a bit.

I'd try the normal bulbs too first.

The problem with LEDs is the minimal current draw and when a controller expects to see a 0.5A draw and only gets 0.1A for example it flags up as an error.

Hoping someone in here can help... subframe alignment bolts - what actually are they? I'd have guessed at a bolt with a eccentric outer sleeve that bolts up in the right spot for re-fit but the laser tools one looks like some kind of shell held together with a spring? Anyone got any and can shed som...

Are they LED by any chance?

I revoke my comment. Jeez that's terrible!

A discount would be ace. I work about 100 yards away haha.
I have heard only good things about them though. Diesels are their speciality im told.

I'd post a pic if you can. May jog someone's memory ;)

Don't think mine is going to work again... battery leaked all over the PCB.

Hey Ed. How'd you get the indicators as DRLs without the other lights on? Or are they powered separately? Looking good though mate. Makes me kinda like my montes haha! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro My running lights are just separate bulbs mounted next to the original indicator bulbs dude....

The modules we use are roughly £250 but there will be cheaper ones available. I will have a good look into it when I have some free time. Saw some earlier for around £80 for a single axis (like what would be needed for headlight adjustments).
