    Wrong Fuel!

    Well that would have been a job worth doing even if I hadn't put the wrong fuel in! The old fillter came out black! I am a little shocked that these kinda things are not changed at every service, the car is a 06 plate and has 40k on the clock. It has always been serviced by the main dealers...

    Wrong Fuel!

    The unleaded did taste like ****, but not salty luckily! There was only about 20miles left in the tank when the unleaded was added. Might pick up a filter just to be safe. Where are they situated on the car, it it on the pump under the seat?

    Wrong Fuel!

    Thanks for the replys guys. Do you think changing the fuel filter is needed? The missus would have done 2 days of driving to work in it on 98% diesel by now. If its a good idea then I'll get a new one straight away.

    Wrong Fuel!

    I am still kinda kicking myself for starting it really, but needed to get it off the forecourt to empty the tank and back again to fill it back up! It was less than 100yds and pretty much at tickover rpm. I was gonna offer the unleaded to a mate but figured that is probably contaminated with...

    replacing rear lights on sportback

    Done loads of searches but none actually explain what coding needs to be changed in Vagcom. Got lights - Looms ready to fit, but don't wanna fit them until I know what coding changes to make?

    Ebay wheel woe

    Yep Lee_R is right, also used on the New Scirocco R as well as my mate has one with them on! Personally I'd say they had been mis-described as so called "audi concept alloys" Hope you get it sorted!

    A3 Sport Suspension

    We have just changed from standard sport to Eibach Sportline springs and all the spongyness has gone. The ride and handling is much improved but no more harsh that the originals. The boss :whip: says that she finds it better because the boingyness has gone and the car feels much more solid on...

    has anyone split the headlights?

    I split the headlight on my Kawasaki ZX6r which has plastic lenses and body - with no probs at all. The amount of heat needed to soften the sealant is nowhere near hot enough to melt the plastic itself. Just keep a eye on it when its in the oven - Its not a cake and shouldn't turn brown:jester:
