today

MOT time today. She passed, and the grinding noise i had on the near side front wasn't my brakes as first thought, it was the wheel bearing. My baby was given a full service, MOT and the wheel bearing replaced for £235 total, i was pretty dam inpressed. And glad that it wasn't my brakes or...

Hi All, Just after a bit of guidance and or advice really. To explain; 5 minutes into a drive this afternoon (up to say 80 on a dual carriageway) the temp gauge hit 120 degrees, the warning alarm came on and then proceeded to fall back to 90 degress quite quickly. As soon as the buzzer...

Well after my thread last night asking whether I should remove the cat to inspect , after finding it rattled a lot, I took it off today. As you can see from the photos , the cat has collapsed inside and the debris I managed to shake out . Some of the lumps of cat were wider than the pipe...

Hi All, Today on my 2005 FR+ PD 150 i blanked the EGR! hurahhhh!! After getting piss poor MPG, i thought I would give it a go. Question, would it be wise to turn it down with vag.com as well? Also what blocks are best to measure on vag.com for MAF and EGR and anything else useful...

fitted my ths type 1 intercooler today, bit of a bummer to do, found it easyer to buy a extra bend and use it than the other way some of you told me to use. few pics :

made 217.9 and 195 at the wheels tuner said it need a map for the exhaust system and filter and soon to be fmic then he thinks il see 240 bhp

went to get a free trial from revo, and they said to me they couldnt do it because there were two fualts coming up . 1, dumpvalve. 2, maf sensor. they said the bailey dump valve fitted is £100. they only charge £15 fitting. but as for the maf sensor i was hoping someone has a new one...

Decided to shop in my mk4 Ibiza FR TDI for a Leon Cupra. It's ex demo with only 4k on the clock and I paid 16.4k (metallic silver) and got 10k trade for mine. Anyway, do I need to run it on super unleaded? Also, do they drink oil? Would it be worth purchasing a can? Best, Andy

Hello everyone, I did a mini service on my 07 Cupra today. I change the oil every 6 months but today I thought i'd have a crack at the other bits. So today I changed spark plugs, air filter, oil filter and oil. All went pretty well, no major problems, although the engine cover was a bit...

Thought it deserved a good lil spruce up so i got the mop out :D

Picked up my new (to me) FR T FSI today, Its a 57 plate in Zenith grey with 18" alloys :) Got it from the VW garage in Scunthorpe - got it for 12.5 and they gave me a good price for my Leon 140 Tdi.... The most obvious differences were the brakes (much better) and the handling - grip...
