Yup, that's it. The plastic fading is a non-issue for me, that looks to be very fixable. So off to the dealer I go, thanks man.

Howdy folks, I have a set of headlights which are not the same age as each other, and the light from the one is starting to become very yellow (as opposed to the usual clear blue/purply colour of the newer unit.) Do I have to replace the entire unit to fix that, or is it possible to just...

Gizmo, what did you pick this one up for? After the work on mine is done I think I might consider flogging her...

Gizmo, can you fire up the pics in the thread again please, started working on my car and keep using them as a reference! JB

Shot guys, will do the reset, thought I only had to do it after dropping a short-shifter in... JB

Hi Dani, Just re-installed the standard shifter. Do I need to do the reset even if I haven't installed a short-shifter? Jason

Hi, Just installed new shifter bracket bushes on my car, and re-installed the shifter bits and now the gears aren't slotting in so nicely, and I can't get reverse. Is there a specific position the shifter needs to be in before I re-attach the shift cables? Cheers, JB

Hi, Thanks Andrew, forgot to mention my adapter doesn't have thread on the block side, it looks like it's just supposed to slide right into the existing opening. JB

Hi All, I bought one of those fancy doo-dads from IE that replace the stock valve cover breather pipe, but how the hell do I fit it? The bit I bought says it fits the 06A engines (of which mine is one), and I can't see an easy way of taking the original bit out... This is what it should look...

What's the major gain with Iridium plugs? And under what considerations do you need to start thinking about gapped/non-gapped plugs? JB

Mmm, if you decide to sell the AMK ecu, let me know, I may be interested... Having a problem getting mine to read properly on VAGCOM, so want to get it checked to see what the issue could be. Maccie just told me he couldn't communicate with the box, but that could be due to a number of reasons...

Dude, this is the most legendary discovery ever! A beer can used as a catch can, I did proper LOL. What beer was it? That will tell us a lot about the individual that put it there...

Aaiii, the learning curve continues. :whistle2:

Cool, through which company? Trying to find a decent powder coater here in Cape Town, that's the first prize. JB

Gizmo, what did you use to paint the valve cover, just some Rust-Oleum? I'm tackling that job shortly...

<tuffty/>, is this not the pipe that exits the intercooler and runs behind the drivers side headlight and ends up in the intake manifold (via a silicone pipe?) I had a quick look, and they seemed similar so I just assumed it was the same thing. JB

Hi all, Is a product like this worth investigating? Lower Intercooler Pipe - 1.8T I'm thinking of going to my local Powerflow guy and asking him to throw something like that together for me, as I won't be going the FMIC route anytime soon, was just wondering how helpful it could really be...

Nice, can one person manage?

****** hell, I think before I buy any parts from now on I'll start a thread asking for advice, there's so much crap floating around out there, a la that crank pulley thread... I would love to have the skills to be able to cast all this **** myself, I couldn't think of anything more satisfying...

Yup, branch = tubular. Crack is visible on the outside, but haven't had a chance to check how badly, if at all, it's blowing, will be able to fire her up once I get my Badger5 goodies soon. Integrated Engineering and 034 Motorsport have some really nice cast ones, but again, it's just the...
