Having just purchased our Tiguan 2018 I have been having a close look around it and also have updated the Navigation software and applied a 3M paint protection film product to the door sills and boot sill. It's a lovely drive and we are very pleased so far.
While doing the boot sill film, I noticed...

Hi All,

I'm an old geezer living on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Trying to semi retire (whatever that is).

Long history with euro cars, mostly Audis and BMWs .. now living the rural life and down the Volkswagen Amarok rabbit hole.

I look forward to chatting...

Hi all
I have the aformentioned van. Its been very reliable for the last year but just lately it suddenly loses power, doesnt miss or blow smoke when it happens, i can barely get over 80kmh on a flat road. It almost feels as if its in limp mode. Stopping the vehicle and restarting it fixes the...

Hi all,

I have a 2018 Mk7.5 Golf R.

Recently I hit a big pot hole at high speed and bent my front left wheel really badly, not to mention ripped a massive hole in the tyre.

I had an alignment done after the fact by a shop I won't name. I was looking closer at the...

My first post so hope it makes sense. I'm repairing a Golf TDI with the BKD engine. My local spares store have ordered a 3 hole head gasket to refit the head along with new bolts.

My concern is that the original head gasket is the 2 hole so is marginally thinner than the new gasket....

I have a GTI Pirelli and under the spare tyre are a few grommets but I haven't seen a way to get access to the rear muffler through there.

Does anyone know of a way it might be possible without drilling a hole? I need to feed a cable to my valved muffler in the future.

Hi everyone.
I need some help.
My speedo had been erratic over last few months, and now has finally stopped working. And fuel gauge now fluctuates.
I have found on google, that this could be due to many different issues. One being the speedo sensor.
However, as mine is...

I need some ideas how to mount a bar in my engine bay.

The plastic engine sump guard on my car is knackered so I found a steel one off an early Scout at a wrecker. It has a bar/cross member across the front that bolts onto the 'chassis rails' up under the engine bay. There are some points...

Heya all, as some of you may know, I own a mk3 2.slow but I want to make it a 2.turboslow. I intend to do the install myself and am sort of putting together a basket of stuff I'm going to need, I have some questions firstly, adding a fitting to the oil pan for the return line aside from the obvious...

I'm prompted to write this at the suggestion of another member.

Compressor Mount
I wanted to put a compressor in my T5.1 Camper. I looked at as many brands as I could and read what I could about them.
In the end I settled on an ARB CKMA12 unit, partly on the basis of reviews...

Hi everyone,

Just wondering, how is everyone getting their positive cable from the battery to inside the cabin? I'm having very little luck finding a suitable grommet or hole.

I've searched everywhere but there's very little for the 6R Polo, and info is sketchy at best....

1. audi TT ball joints #8J0407365 & ..366 or Meyle equivalent #1160100022

2. There are 3 ball joint locating dimples. Drill them out. Their internal remains will need to be filed dead flat. Not fun.

3. Shocking photo but this is what the dimples look like on the inside....

Selling a set of Jom coilovers to suits a Golf Mk2/3, only used for around 4000kms, and all collar spin freely. Note the front passenger side lower bolt hole has been elongated to allow for greater camber adjustment but does not affect operation at all.

Hi, was sitting in traffic looking up at the roof console (my12 132 tsi) and wondering what all the unused buttons were for, spanners etc - then saw the cavity that i've never found anything to fit in.

Has anybody found a use for it? Or the dashboard tray? I've tried sunnies, they dont...

Hey Guys,
I have an odd one.

When I purchased my MK I noticed that it was missing the front spoiler, so I tracked one down and had it attached.

The only problem is, is that it doesn't seem to sit right. See the pics below:



I noticed that there...
