A garage quoted £80 plus vat but if I can buy something for a similar price I'm happy to do that, on youtube the ODBeleven devices seem to be recommended, looks like I'd need the pro pack which comes with...

    Oil filter housing cap stuck and broken :(

    Oh cheers mate. That's nice to see the exploded view like that. Seems to confirm I need the 'D' variant of the cap. I saw some photos with a spring underneath it - anyone know if this is the case? Just wondering before I start to attack the seized one!

    Cheapest option for re-coding RNSE for aux?

    Hi all, I would like to add an AUX input and have read that you need to recode the head unit with Vag-com. What's the cheapest way to achieve this? I can see some units on ebay for around £5 that appear to come with software but I have no idea what I'm looking at or if they are capable? Cheers

    P0234 code on a 2.0tdi 140

    Cheers mate, yeah it seems most likely from what I've been reading up on. That kit you mention, I guess that's a turbo removal and partial tear down jobby?

    Replacing Front Upper suspension arms

    cheers I will try that out. how much do you think for a ballpark price for one arm? Do I need to change the whole arm or can I just change the ball joint? Also, where does the problem of the rusty stiff bolt arise, to swap the arm or something else?
