Re: Adhesive/Glue

Sorry to drag this up bud, but if you haven't purchased anything just yet, then the best product to purchase for this, is AutoSmart Tardis. It comes as a 5 litre tin, and you use it neat. It's rather cheap and all you need to do is organise a meet with your local AutoSmart dealer. You can find them ...

Re: Help heater broken

I am having this problem too...

For me, not actually understanding the technical chat above, what can I do to solve this problem?

Saturday I came back to the car and there was a small pool of water (not coolant or oil) it was just water... Could this have been air con pipes(condensation)?

Re: Head gasket???

i would say, rather than getting your mechanic to do the HG... id get him to replace the oil and the coolant after a good flush... mine was the Oil Cooler that went a year back when i got reversed into and had pretty much the same symptoms... thats the cheapest bet and the one that you can do at ...

Re: Help Needed - video inside

to be totally honest, i am not happy with the garage that i took the car to last year. I have checked everything on that car and i know that the coolant wasnt changed or flushed when it last went in and that was one of the jobs on the list. this is why i am going to take it to AmD as it is a very ...

Re: UPDATE - VIDEO TO HELP!!! Few B5 Questions

i changed my spark plugs about 30 mins ago and on one of my plugs was covered in (what i believe) oil.

would this be right?
is it normal?
do i have underlying issues?
Is my car going to heaven?
