Looked online and came to the conclusion that either my master or slave cylinder is failing. Can't seem to see any leaks , clutch was really spongey and now is really loose but it still goes into gears just fine. Is it worth just replacing both ?

Hello everyone. There has been plenty of these on forums (id imagine) but I never really understood half the things people did when doing their conversion (modifying a single din console to fit a double din headunit). Now this can be a difficult and time consuming mod, so if anyone wants this...

“Front Assist not available” came up after I changed from 18” to 17” wheels and added a full sized spare but around the same time I hit a pheasant at about 15 mph with no damage seen.

Right then, with my new Arosa on the drive way its time to think about a cambelt service. I can't find any reference to the cambelt being changed. I'm planning to call the garages that the car has been to and find out what was done. If not, I think it'll be cambelt kit and waterpump time...

Hi, I have an array of stone chips on my bonnet, one in particular looks a right mess. Now for some reason I seem to think I can repair this myself.....:whistle: http://www.paints4u.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=6912&Mainselection=4 I was planning on using the above it to give myself a...

Have had my alhambra (02) for over 3 years now and its covered 71k miles. Looking to tackle timing belt replacement - lack of a shalhabra Haynes manual doesn't help. K

I can't believe I haven't seen anyone talking about this on here so correct me if I've missed it. This DIY boost controller seems like a nice easy way to get a bit of extra power from a standard TDi. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=103279 Where's the catch?

Hello All, My Mk 1 Leon FR Tdi is due for its 140,000 mile service. I was wondering if I did it myself and therefore didn't get a stamp in the log book would this significantly affect resale value in the future? I know it's high mileage but the car is in good nick and has had all the parts...

After some research I decided to get a DIY parking sensor kit (£18 from ebay). Obviously its the most basic version, but should hopefully be good enough for me :blink: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190322960277&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT I have searched the forum and...

Hello everyone. My Cupra TDI has done 58k so it's time for the timing belt to be changed. I've got hold of a new timing belt + roller/tensioner etc. so I'm looking to do the job fairly soon. Has anyone done their own belt change on the PD? I've done a few timing belt changes myself...
