Hi, Can anyone please advise me what to do about the sticking handbreak on my B6 auto estate. It refuses to release the break when the button on the dash is pressed.

I have got quite a bit of 10W - 40 from a previous vehicle.....would that also be OK or should I definitely not use it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Than...

Re: Replacement Sterio Radio with Sat Nav, Blue Tooth, reversing camera etc

Hi All, I know I've possibly made an unwise decision and bought a Chinese generic model of the stereo radio unit with all the bells on - and I may well regret it but I've done it now and have got to make the best of it.
