tbf it flew through first mot


but they made up for it on major service...1500...

So just done my 2nd ever mod (I'll call radio install 1st mod lol) Think it turned out awesome: [url=https://flic.kr/p/Df8whc] https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1528/24445099003_78ec7e1b00_h.jpg [url=https://flic.kr/p/EcwpWn] https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1717/25071972525_da50ce83fd_h.jpg On a side no...

have you considered fix price servicing from vw? Makes things a bit cheaper...well services a bit cheaper at any rate and iirc you get 10% any parts that need fitting I paid 12 months at 36, just ended today actually the payment period and does 2 mot's and a major and a minor service Doesn't include...

just had a look online and it looks like it doesn't include the aux belt etc...so maybe that 400+ figure is about right (if it includes aux belt etc?)?


Dunno if that's across the board or just inchcape thats doing that?

late last year i was quoted 350 from vw, but i didn't check if it included belts n tensioners. although she said cam belt and water pump (so maybe not)...its due midway through this year on mine but haven't since checked price so hopefully it hasn't gone up n it includes everything you guys are ment...

its just ya average pissrat, great nick but less than perfect paintwork which annoys me anyway, like I said, totally average (plus side is I bought it from my mate whose wife drove it and vw exclusively repaired/serviced it from new so in fine fettle generally) Sorry for the many pics, and I know it...

Lovely stuff...it looks nicer than it does in mine ffs

think we should just swap cars tbh lol

this is what is throwing me... http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f396/dazzer1975/Capture_zpsbop4tt8s.png that's saying 3 leds (with resistor each) won't work...well, might work but its not best way forward... but 3 all tapped into the roof light (including roof light) would be in series, but id need...

Now bare in mind i'm no electrickery, does this mean, if you change interior lights to leds, and add the footwell lights to rear cargo area (leds as well), that the current shouldn't be an issue overall? suppose it needs working out on a case by case basis dependant upon leds and resistors used? htt...

pulled loads whe younger but been pulled once in last 20 years, and that was for a bit of lively acceleration in my previous car...told me to calm down n away i went lol

I was wondering this...obv if from 12v socket would need a switch or would be live all time ignition is on I think it probably best wired to light in boot head lining? Would be pain to feed wire through though I fancy doing this mod myself, and can't think where else a suitable/close tap in would be...

cheap as chips

i know you want oem, but i cant recommend eonon ga5153f highly enough... i know its not what you are after, but for price, functionality, ease of installation etc, ya can't go wrong comes with everything and looks oem enough that even the vw lads questioned if it was aftermarket or not https://www.y...

awesome, thanks mate...email on the way

ahhh, thats shat


only other thing i can suggest is try a few different vw dealers...some seem better than others at dishing out info

http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/about-us/is ... ll-service

could try there (but unavailable for me at moment...keep checking see if its temp problem?)

christ dude thats some expensive gear for what i know ill only use on this 1 job lmao here are the 2 im thinking about...yes, they r cheap n crappy lol: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121498537606 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005L12YCA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=AZ...
