Liking the grille but what do you do about the plate? Think I seen this on the dtm Facebook page the other day. Staz999's is on today. :-)

Brake light switch is very common on the vag stuff. Brake lights might work fine but there are 2 functions of the switch, brake lights and ecu communication. Worth trying first. Not sure about the soft touch fault on the boot it will need to be checked electrically to see if it's working ie...

Hopefully get mine this week. Just waiting for the paperwork from the dvla to arrive for our registration plates. :-)

Haha ah I see. :-)

What was it in the dealers for?

Thanks but all being well it goes next week, eventually found a sprint blue DTM.

Good luck mate

Ah right. The grey colour bothered me.

The garage might just use euro car parts but I would use Trade Part Supplies personally. I would just change anything that looks a bit ropey don't want it throwing another belt.

Will do, thanks Sandra. :-)

Not good mate. Hope it's not too expensive.

From South Shields just at the mouth of the Tyne river.

Yeah that belt does quite a bit; crank pulley uses the belt to drive the alternator, power steering pulley, aircon, etc and all relying on a bit of rubber and a strong spring in the tensioner.

There's only one tensioner and looking at the belt being frayed like it is, I would say still the tensioner or one of the pulleys. Get it to a garage or see someone who knows how to pull the front end forward to get a proper look.
