Wanted to see whether I coiuld make a rear strut brace that incorporated the two most popular designs, one that is attached to the shock absorber thread & the other to the turret. The lower of the two braces had to be mm perfect to ensure it was an exact fit between the brackets. Don't look too...

Given that not many people have added a set of four of these tyres to the MK2 Leon, its not something anyone can best advise on perhaps. That said, I have been looking at getting a set of 888 or R1-R tyres, but am going against the idea now due to Toyos decision to only sell them through...

Right, being an x mini owner i appreciate good handling. Now the rear on the ibiza is something pople mod with spacers, now i am not a great fan of spacers in general. However i notice the Fiesta ST owners space the hub out instead for a very low price of £25. saves money and also widens...

Ive taken out the six disk multichanger on the passenger side compartment and am now running the new head units 3.5 Aux input and ipod cables into this space I want a neat alternative to mount the ipod and mp3 player in the space left by the autochanger and was wondering if anyone has...

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=103037.0 This unit looks much better than the one in the other thread, better interfaces, can buy in the uk with warranty but cost is more.

Almost identical to the RNS510 but about 1/4 of the price. (~£300) http://www.szwaywell.com/prod_dtl.asp?id=489 Big discussion on it here http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74855 There is a guy from the UK who has bought this unit, I'm going to PM him for more details...

hi, just wondered if anyone had any advice on getting more bhp without a having a remap on. also what doesnt cost the earth aswell. thanks

Right, It seems nonsensical to me that we buy fuel in literes but the MFA shows MPG. Does anyone know of a VAG COM mod that allows you to show litres/100kms - like the rest of the world? Thanks H

Long story short, Two instances in stop/start labouring this week where car overheated. First time to 120°C, second time controlled back to 90°C by cooking the cockpit (Aircon to Hi). Today got in hotter situation with stop/start and car was fine :confused: Ways to check water pump? Mine IS a...

I accept that my FR dosent tell me what my washer fluid is running low, but is there a way to make it so, whats actually missing parts wise?, can a dealer modify? can i modify?

Hi all, I'm looking to get a boost gauge, as I guess they're a pretty good 'early warning' - although I'd hope notice if it wasn't boosting right. Anyhoo - my question is - has anyone put their gauge in a different place other than down where the 'R' one is, or on the A pillar (or next to...

What alternative interiors from the VAG range will fit straight into my Ibiza? I was talking to Pat (UncleFester) last night about the change of interior in his Leon, which I believe is a direct swap from Mk4 Golf GTi, and it got me thinking? Correct me if I’m wrong but the Mk3 Ibiza is...

Good afternoon. Looks like I have another faulty MAF, I had one replaced about 18 months ago under the exchange scheme that SEAT were running. The SEAT part number is 071904641A. I have heard that there is an alternative Merc part which is cheaper and better? Could anyone confirm this...

I was having a little rumage around on the net this eve and stubled across this... http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/gallery/awe_rsk04/index.cfm Now whilst 525bhp is impressive :D I couldnt help but notice their replacement MAF housing which eliminates the need for a Bosch element! To...

As loads of people are having problems with standard SEAT CD changers, does anyone know of an alternative CD changer that will work? I for one definatly don't want to fork out for another one the same just for the same thing to happen again.

Hi Fellas, Ive just bought a new Cupra R with the standard fit front seats,not the Recaros.I dont really get on with these seats,the problem being the seat section being too long and pushing into my leg just above the calf muscle.I also feel i am being pushed out of the seat at the base of...

I popped into Big Boys Toys today to get my revo code updated (cheers guys) and get some confirmed prices on coilovers. After explaining what I wanted and asking what would be the best solution Shaun suggested the new Koni FSD. Basically it’s a sports suspension but with the added advantage that...

I have some questions about the MAF. -What is the LCR MAF part number (and does it sit in a 3" housing, and connects to a regular Leon)? -Are there other MAFs (RS4/S4/Tdi) that I could use in a 3" housing that can cope with over 270hp? That also fits the wire/connector physically and...
