hi all. i fitted my HID kit yesterday and man do they look good. however, when i fitted them, the n/s projector unit came loose from one of it's fixings and now flops about. i have wedged it with a piece of wood and it is now sat in the right place. has anyone else had the same problem and managed t...

gewt a car cover if your gonna leave under a tree for a while.

one removal method that usually works is soak some rag/paper towel then lay it over the stains. leave for 10-20mins then you shoudl be able to wipe the worst off.

look at the little metal pins. turn the bulbs so the pins are on the opposite contacts to where you currently have them.

If your doing your number plate bulbs you'll need to source 14.4v led's as per this thread over on passatworld... http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213391" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Otherwise normal led's are liable to burn out after a few months. that...

newer mercs have led drl's around the fogs. i've also seen sum1 with them fitted to his golf at ace cafe. mercs also have a clever thing where one of their front fogs lights up to highlight the kerb. it changes sides depending on where the kerb is. some landies and rangerovers has something similar ...

maybe see if you can somehow drill a hole in the reflector of the foglight then fit a sidelight holder and wire to the other sidelights. then they'll light up but dimmer and shouldn't damage the wiring.

either that or fit LED strips in the lower grills

i didn't realise vw were so cheap. i expected them to be quite expensive. the halfrauds stuff was quite hard to find. it was in a different place to all the other oils for some reason. lucky i didn't buy theirs anyway

the really isn't built into the switch then? i read somewhere that you could just plug the wire straight into the foglight pin and that's it.

very nice work indeed. i always assumed g101 was to strong to use on paintwork. we used to use it to clean floors where i used to work and it sometimes left marks on them. i have used in arches and on wheels etc though. don't it make you feel good when a car looks so nice after a good valet.

takin the p then. it doesn't really take any longer to change an 18 inch tyre than it does any other size.

is that including the tyre or are you supplying? if including then very very cheap. if you are supplying it then maybe a tad expensive. i would say more like

for anyone looking for oil for their PD engine, halfords do actually sell it - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_230739_langId_-1_categoryId_165581" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . I also managed to get some for

i'm gonna do mine tomorrow so one last question. has anyone had problems with the management light coming on after doing it? by the look of the THS pipes, they have lambda sensors pre and post cat so i'm worried about it throwing up a code. cheers

you shouldn't really do much damage using heat. just be carefull not to get the area near any rubber boots to hot. heat is usually the only way if they are seized fast. take the track rod ends right off then wire brush the thread on the rack ends and coat it in copper/ally grease (once they have coo...

will it make alot of difference to the sound of the exhaust?. i don't like my cars loud but i would love to do this if it is worthwhile and doesn't make it much louder. cheers

it is possible to pull the top of the door card back without doing any damage. put your window all the way down then grap the top lip of the door card, pull up and back at the same time. it is a tad harder to put back in put not to difficult. when you put the cable back in, make sure you slot in the...

give vw your vin number and/or reg and they should be able to tell you the key number and supply you with one

the sunday after next i don't finish work until half past midnight so technically monday. then i start again on monday and 1pm.

how'd u get 600 miles out of a tank? i get roughly 450-520. pd130

i'd quite like the standard stylee but with led's. make the full top and bottom round sections side and brakelight instead of only the top half being brake then maybe make the indicators a circle around the top side/brakelight. then the reverse light could be where the standard indicator is and the ...

i've seen this problem on a golf before but sadly can't remember the exact problem. it involved summit to do with the plug block going from the pedal switch. i have a feeling it may have been that the the plug block was soaked in antifreeze cos of a duff heater matrix but can't be 100% sure. it was ...

saw you on the bear flat in Bath today. it was a black b5 with orange rims and an orange boot badge. you also had a pink sticker of some sort on the back screen.

I was driving the bus that was behind you

was it any of you guys?

Well my local VW dealer is gonna do the Full 100k service and change the fuel filter etc for 325 all in - I am thinking thats not too bad considering he will collect my baby in the morning and return her before I go off to work.
