Would you say the rear is easier or about the same as the front? I’ve found some corrosion around the springs where they meet the chassis body. Wondering if it’s too far gone or if to drop the rear subframe and axle and have a clean up.
Set about doing my rear ABS sensors today till I realised I didn't have all the parts so set about having a poke about and inspecting things. Looks like the car was sat in a field at one point because some parts look like they were sunk with the titanic.. Anyway, I got some photos and wanted to...

I ended up cutting the front and back off with a grinder and then hitting the centre out. I did however remove the whole knuckle and refresh the whole thing. it was much easier to just snip the cable and then remove the knuckle to work away from the car.
In the process as though it was a sensor but on further inspection, the rings are more like teeth than castellations. The previous owner said it was more of a farm vehicle and think it has been laid up in a field as the bolts and everything behind the wheels look like its been at the bottom of...
I thought I read somewhere that by just blanking off the EGR return while retaining the valve stops the light coming on?
I've removed mine altogether, I just don't like the hole in the engine cover looking so obvious and not too bothered with getting it mapped out as my local MOT tester is...
How much did the garage charge to change the front subframe please? Mine has just failed and considering myself but after reading this I’m having second thoughts...
Do the subframes differ from petrol to diesel? Just failed MOT for this reason as suspected and now on the hunt for a subframe? Can find good examples out there but one I'm looking at local to me is from a B7 (which is fine) but its a 2.0TFSI. It looks the same but can anyone confirm they are...
Sorry to dig up an old post but couldn't find anything on the matter.
I have the BOSE system in mine and happy with it but would like a new head unit with Bluetooth and/or apple car play. How does this affect things when changing the head unit over? Do you lose features or is it even compatible?
Interesting read, Drive wise mine feels nice and smooth with good pull at low end. However, I have always thought my brakes felt very wooden almost. brake pedal is quite hard and not a lot happens unless you stand on them at times giving that "wooden" feel that they are simply glazed and little...
Is the rear subframe harder to do than the front then? Mine is a FWD 1.9 PD. I had an advisory last year on the rear but I couldn't see anything that indicated what they tester was looking at. However, I was under the front the other day as I'm replacing the wings and the front subframe has a...
I ordered a pair from eBay and one was damaged but by the time I come to get them fitted a month had passed so only got a partial refund so got an ECP wing. Low and behold it was the same brand as the eBay specials I got. I test fitted by offering it up and all seems to line up quite nicely so I...
I’m in the same situation. I checked mine and as you can see it’s been replaced already in its lifetime by a non OE part I imagine. I’m struggling to get info from this label as to the correct part or part number I need to be looking for as I’m happy to buy a second hand OE part if I can find...
