The front springs were bought for my 1.9tdi 5.5 estate that I had previously,I had to buy a full set,because a kit that I previously bought was for a 4 motion,which left me with rears that I could not use.I suspect you may have to buy a full set,unless someone on here has some spare rears,and you ca...

I have some -40mm new fronts doing nothing,the rears are 4 motion.Rod.

Thanks Chris,the vibes are pretty constant through the rev range.Don't get me wrong,my teeth stay in!It's just one of those annoying little things.The clutch was done by my regular bloke,and actually,the flywheel he took off seemed ok,also the vibes were the same beforehand.So it's mounts first(afte...

For some time now,I have had an annoying vibration through the car.I had the car into Awesome to be looked at,and the possible diagnosis of a worn ball joint didn't impress me,especially as it prevails when the car is stationary.After much looking,prodding and guessing,I have noticed a sideways move...

Yes it was the full bifta,hardish rubber,if they dont last,I'll be posting

Have just replaced mine with gen ones after the ebay ones lasted 6 months and really no mileage,58 quid and new bolts.I am rapidly going off ebay stuff

How is it compared with your brakes before the garage did them?

Really,you wouldn't want them on a *****n wheelbarrow

I did see some on ebay that were flexible,maybe those are the answer.Mine's only a standard sport,but my rears didn't last long

Mine does that,perfectly normal

I'll drink to that

I thought flaps were a bit unfashionable these days.

I would have thought that converting from petrol to diesel would be a hell of a job,and it would be too much for me to take a chance on.

I feel for you lads,fortunately my estate days are far behind me,but if I caught someone,I think I'd have to make a point,and then end up with no windows,so,how do you win?you can't,*****n frustrating.My sympathies

If you did get the head done,you really would have to have it skimmed I would have thought,and I know how we all think money,especially when it's tight.If it was mine I think I would be looking for another head,but either way,it's a difficult choice.A fairy godmother would be nice at a time like thi...

Yes they are 3 and 5 mm on the avf.I did this a while ago,and havn't looked back since.Just plan the route for each one,and protect any obvious chafing points

There is nothing worse than something wrong with your car,no matter how trivial,but there is no better feeling than when it's fixed,so keep the faith,it will come right,just hope you don't have to skint yourself.As for your question,you'll have to experiment with various bits of tubing I should imag...

Don't be upset by the gentle leg pull Dan,it's a perfectly nice car,though I really don't think grey presents them best.That said,I don't suppose I'd hesitate to buy one if it was the right car

Sorry,but looking at all those makes me glad I havn't got a grey one,and please,I mean no offense.Er,dare I ask what the chicken coop is for,again,no offense

I would have thought it would be hard to tell the difference once they were fitted. 195-65-15 were standard tyres on steels, whereas 205-60-15 came on alloys. Overall rolling diameter will be virtually the same, so the only real difference is the extra 10mm in width. Your Mrs may notice an extra 10...

Cheers,Karl.

If the wheels are on the car with the 235's on, you'll be able to see how much room you have, especially how close they are to the front suspension arms and rear dampers. Take 5mm off the current clearance and that'll show you pretty much how the 245's will sit. Personally, I think they will be a b...

I have just aqquired some 245/45x17 goodyears at a bargain price.Normally I run 225's,though it used to be 235's.Can anyone see any problems on audi v spoke alloys?Cheers,Rod.

You should quite easily be able to change over.T' black door trim has adhesive on it,though you may have to remove some guides off the new trim.
