Hi guys,

So this morning (4am) I started my van and lights came on, all fine. Drove down the road some way and when I got back in noticed it was dark. Had a quick look and turns out my lights weren’t working. I’ve had them blow quite often in the past and thought the same happened...

Hail from Brisbane, just bought myself a 2010 Tiguan 125tsi 4motion, keen to drop the dogs in the back and find new lands to throw my drone up and capture this great country of ours from a different perspective..

The cap is 58mm across, 16 mm deep. The clips are about 52mm-55mm depending where on the clip you measure.

I have a MK6 R and replaced the front rotors and pads over the weekend, DBA T3 rotors and silly me I went with Bendix Euro+ pads.

After install the brakes were making a strange noise and the pedal felt very soft - unlike before the change. Turns out the new pads didn't quite fit and when...

Hello,..
