Hi all,

Currently own a B6 with leather sport seats (heated and memory).

I'm looking to buy an estate B7. Will the B6 saloon seats fit?

Thanks,

Nick.

Hey guys!

I managed to pull the tray out and retrieve some coins from behind the tray (right of the hazard switch).

I have put the spring back and pushed the tray back but it won't 'click' in and stay closed. It is always open.

Have I forgot to do something? What can I do to fix it?

Thanks,

Nick.

70mph on the motorway I get about 35mpg. Shocking!

Cheers,

So anything B7 is fixed?

Maybe have to get a B7 then...

Hi,

Thinking of getting a newer car soon. Currently have a 2006 2.0Tfsi which is a superb car but it's very thirsty.

What year did VW fix the balancer shaft issue in the diesels?

Thanks,

Nick.

Great. Thanks.

ECP have 30% off this weekend so will get them ordered.

I assume they are pretty straight forward to fit apart from gripping the spline? Any tricks for that?

Do I have to have the suspension under load when tightening the drop link bolts back up?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi guys, My MOT is due at the start of November and I'd like to sort out an advisory it got last year. It was 'offside rear Anti-roll bar linkage has slight play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)' Am I right in thinking this is the rear drop link? If so, I'll probably replace both offside and nearside for p...

Thanks for the link.

I'm going to go for the gloss black. My car is Graphite Blue but I think it should look pretty good.

Cheers,

Nick.

Doesn't the 170 have an electronic actuator and the 140 a manual diaphragm?

Or, does anybody know any places that do plastic plating?

As per title? Has anybody painted the chrome area surrounding the VW badge? Any photos? Reason I ask is my car was involved in an accident and is now a CAT C. It's currently being repaired but the grille is damaged and a new one is £183! I have a second hand grille but it doesn't have the 2 holes f...

What do you guys think of this? Not a CR, rang them and the engine code is BMR I think - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201507235441786?make=volkswagen&page=2&maximum-age=up_to_10_years_old&maximum-mileage=up_to_100000_miles&radius=1500&fuel-type=diesel&postcod...

OK thanks.

I could probably push to a CR engine but I wanted to keep £400ish back for a 100mm hex key, and possibly a DPF removal and remap.

Decisions!

So mid 2007+

Thanks guys

It looks like I can't push to get a CR, so is the PD ok apart from the oil pump issues? Is the PD still gear driven?

Cheers!

What would be a price you'd pay for both delivered?

Would you want them complete, just minus the door cards?

Right, picking it up tomorrow.

Do you want both drivers side doors? Front and back?

Hey Scouse,

I'm in Liverpool quite a bit as I have family in Chester. Down your way on the 22nd actually for the Chester races!

I can deliver if you want?

I did think about repairing the car but it won't be worth as much when I've done it, being a cat C!

thanks for that.

So when did the CR engine come in? Is there any way of telling it's a CR by the engine cover or anything?

I have a drivers side rear caliper for sale. I had it on 1 week and then somebody wrote my car off for me - very kind of him!

I have the receipt so it has warranty on it.

Let me know if you'd like it.

So I should factor in say £400 to get that sorted once I've purchased the car?

So when did the CR engine come into production?

Apart from DPF failures and the obvious DMF, there's nothing else?

Skipper how hard do you drive it? my 140 with a stage one to about 170 averages over 700 miles from first beep on empty yo first click on full and if I'm carefull/motorway miles can exceed that Now that's the kind of mpg that makes the diesel sound very appealing! I got about 300 miles out of £70 ...

Hi Scouse.

Not too sure on the paint code as the car isn't here, it's at the coachworks company.

I do know it's called blue graphite which after a quick Google shows LC5F. I'll double check when I get it back for you!

I'm in Newcastle Upon Tyne. I assume you are in/near Liverpool?

Cheers, Nick.

Somebody has PM'd me regarding the fogs. If it falls through I shall let you know.

Cheers.
