After only 6mths on the car (taken off for winter) I've noticed quite a few of the plastic studs have laqure peel around them, this was just a matter of time anyway. What I want to know is can I replace with metal bolts sold on eBay. The current ones are just inserted into a drilled hole. Can these ...

What side light bulbs would you guys fit to match the brighter osram night breakers or unlimited! Don't fancy the HID route.

When I got mine it was on 17's and sports springs then fitted 19's and to be honest the ride didn't change much till I fitted the coilies, again still rides pretty much the same, obviously a little harsher over big bumps etc but normal roads its fine. Corners much better :) Budget 19's aint too bad ...

Welcome

Friend of mine drives for H&R out of lethbridge, -40 I hear the other day!

Cheers guys, need to look into this more especially the amp issue, power and radio

Looking at doing a 7" tablet install but need some pointers please. Is there an adaptor from the jack to the standard loom (not rca type as no amp in my car) how does it power up and what about radio and internet? Pictures speak a thousand words so any help appreciated. I can do a full old skoo...

Do the B6 kits you see on ebay switch off automatically when the dipped beam is on or do they need to be wired to do this, if so how?

Glue was just a clear evo stick type, can't be more precise as it was in French (working out there when it happened)

Would removing the guts on the DPF increase the particles by much? my last MOT reading (sep 13) was 0.10% standard. Limits something like 1.50%

Fix it, bit of glue n grease.

Cheers chris, Didn't want force it open with it being alloy and risk breaking the hub.

Late update but basically had to put everything back together as the front struts seem stuck, Alloy suspension hub and steel struts don't mix well when it comes to corrosion, I didn't want to force the gap open where the pinch bolts goes with it been alloy. Any of you guys had this issue?

I had the same symptoms/smell. it turned out to be a split o ring on the fuel filter.

Cheers guys, what do the rear hanger/bushes look like? just so I'm ordering the right parts!

C,mon guys..............Plenty FK AK's been fitted! Must be something to point out on the B6

seb, You got a link to the type I need, front & rear.

Me and my tech mate are fitting my FK coilies soon but need to know of any issues you guys have experienced. I've looked on ebay for front/rear top mounts but there seems to be different types, mines a 06 170tdi estate. Can someone point me in the right direction as to which ones I need. I know abou...

You got a part number for the said sensor and its location?

Mines an 06 138k and look like original springs. Can still see the colored dots etc. No major rust as far as I can see but hard to see as it sits low in the arm. Not worried as my new coillies are on soon

Cheers for the tip Dub, can fit my coillies now

After fitting my 19 X 9.5" Rears ET46 And being told my 255/35/19 were too wide I had the odd scrape when fully loaded or bad road camber, trimmed the inner liner to no avail only to find out its been rubbing on a tiny folded piece of the body work right next to where the last clip for the rear...

The small box should be the relay to bypass the canbus. Check its got a permanent live feed. Are the socket pins showing voltage? I wired mine into the fuse panel on passenger side dash, follow live cable and check its fuse!
