That might work, thanks. I'll have a proper look at the weekend and weigh it up.

That's an idea. I'll keep my eyes open on ebay and see if I can find one to paint up. Suppose if I was careful I could paint the vent surrounds with a small brush. Thanks

Does anyone else find that the chrome surrounds of the dash vents reflect onto the side windows when looking in the mirrors? It irritates me quite a bit. I reverse my car into the garage and need to keep it very close to the n/s otherwise I can't get out of the car. Sometimes I have to drop the...

The steriliser sounds like a good idea, I have some in the cupboard. I'm going to drain it tomorrow and sort it out. I think I am partly to blame, I have had the car for 18 months now and have only topped the washers up once, and then it took very little. I just don't find the need to use the...

I'll give it a go then. Just wondering whether Halfords do a fish'n chip flavour screenwash? What with all the vinegar in the tank it would smell great. Thanks all.

Trouble is the reservoir is almost full to the top. I don't know how much they hold, but emptying it via the washer pump? Worried it might damage the pump itself by over-using it. I suppose I could empty it over a good few hours and allow the pump to rest a bit between blasts. The smell is...

The water in my washer reservoir is absolutely foul. It fills the car with the stench of rotten eggs when I wash the screen. It would be nice to drain the water out completely and wash it out with something but it looks as if that is easier said than done. A while ago I tried just poking the...

The service due reminder has just come on. How much would the dealer charge to change the oil and filters on a 2012 2.0tdi ? It has 18000 miles, I imagine this will be its first service. If I get it done elsewhere does it affect the warranty. If it wasn't so awkward getting underneath the thing...

Thanks for that. Good idea about proof of delivery etc. I think I will price it up at the post Office or somewhere and quote the price to the bidders and see what the reaction is. Thanks again. I am very impressed by the amount of your posts by the way:laugh:

Hi Just wondered whether anyone has knowledge of ebay. I have a listing and have had 2 emails from people asking whether I would post the item outside the UK. One is from the States and the other from somewhere in Russia. It is not a very valueable item probably only making £40 if it sells. I...

Thanks lads for the help, that's cleared that up. Ste-Nova. Pictures speak louder than words. Did you just happen to have some pictures of engine oil receptacles on your computer for such an occasion?

Can anyone tell me what grade of engine oil I need for my 2012 2.0tdi. Rang the dealer and they just said make sure it is fully synthetic. The handbook says, vw507 00 with DPF and vw505 01 without. ???? I have never seen anything like this written on a gallon of oil. Can someone translate this...

I've added my name to the list.

Thanks very much. The car needs a good wash before I can take some pics. Some nicer weather would help too. I'll put some on soon.

Sorry for the delayed response, I forgot my login password and couldn't get on straight away. Looks like I will have to re-write my letter to Santa and add on an iPod. Thanks Dave
