A surcharge is usually given for old diveshafts when buying new ones, does anyone know if anywhere takes old ones off your hands without prior purchase? I have a pair of faulty originals that I swapped out with some second hand ones that need getting rid of. Cheers

Been looking around for the price of a new turbo for a PD140 BKD and noticed a fair price difference between these 2 suppliers... £560.20 (free delivery) from here - http://www.turbodynamics.co.uk/shop/7249305012s-new-genuine-turbo-for-vag-20tdi-140bhp-p-2290.html £725 (+£8.50 delivery) from...

My car is really slow to respond when accelerating from about 1000 to 1800 RPM in any gear, after that it seems ok. VCDS shows no faults, unplugging the MAF makes no difference, so I'm leaning towards it being a problem with the turbo. I've logged the boost pressure on VCDS (Engine, Measuring...

I have the stock Concert II HU and just want to upgrade the front speakers for now. I know people rate the Focal K2's but I was going to try the cheaper Focal PS165's, they are 80W RMS so I'm looking for a nice little 2 channel amp to suit, and I'd love to locate it somewhere more accessible...

I just finished retrofitting the cruise control to my A3, reconnected the battery and heard fuel pump prime and realised I'd left the keys in ignition with it switched on. Closed the bonnet and went to open car door and found it was locked! I can't believe it locked on reconnection of battery...

Hi, I need to fit a new outer CV gaiter to the OS driveshaft, I'm just unsure of what to expect when pulling it out of the gearbox. I know on manual cars some of the gearbox oil comes out with it, but isn't a DSG box sealed? So will I need to re-grease the end of it or something? Thanks

On a standard AUM 1.8T When changing gear under hard acceleration there's always this drop off of revs like the boost cuts out for a about 2 seconds. VAGCOM shows no faults, always well serviced, cleaned TB, coil packs checked. Fuel economy isn't so good, average 30mpg under steady driving...

What's with the hollow/recess behind the rear number plate? I don't know whether covering it looks to high to mount the plate? 1999 A3 1.8 T Sport

Started to remove my sump today but got stuck trying to get out the last 2 bolts - the 2 nearest the gearbox. The trouble is that they are around a corner so difficult to reach with a regular socket set, I have a 1/4 set and a 3/8 set but the universal joints are to big to fit in the space...

Hey guys, need a new sump so thinking I might get one with an oil level sensor as I don't currently have one. Do you know if the sensor would be easy enough to rig up? Cheers

I've just bought an alternative to Dynamat, the stuff is called Flashing tape and is made by various manufacturers. It's used by the building trade in roofing for sealing etc. A 10 m x 0.225 m roll costs around £20, now if my maths are correct that works out at £8.88/m², so compare that to...

Hi I replaced the temp sensor on my 1.8 t to try and cure a lumpy idle. The dash temp gauge was instantly accurate but the idle wasn't - until a couple of hours of driving later, and now it's perfect, RESULT! So I think that the ECU must self calibrate to allow for certain enviromental...
