Re: How much coolant should my passat take ?

no need to take bumper off. just pull the nearside lower grill off. theres a piece of rubber, just move it and you can see the bleed screw. takes about 30 seconds.

Re: changed steering rack boot today - reset tracking

you need it done at a garage. i do tracking and to get it spot on you need the right equipment. if its not spot on it will cost you in time as the tyres will wear uneven.
