Cheers fella! Got new ones in today and managed to get the door card off and stuff.. But how the f*ck do you get the wire through the door?!

Hi Guys, So some little scrote after the England match decicded he would kick my wing mirror off! Phoned some scrappies today and they've all asked me whether ithe replacement is for a 3 or 5 door I'm pretty sure they're going to be the same but can any one confirm for me please? I need a...

Hi everyone, Apologies if this is in the wrong section! is there anyone in the Oxfordshire area who has use of VAGCOM? need to have my rnse coded in and aux activated. Maybe a few cheeky extras anyone knows of? Also, has anyone got a cool extras through a VAGCOM? Would like to know what you...

Hi guys, I have been doing some research this morning on the steering wheel changes and what can happen ect Now, considering what can happen if not done properly I'd like to know how to tell if my car is single stage or dual stage. If she's single then I'll stick with my current. If she's...

thanks Marshy NHN - Yes mate, he ordered the new starter on his way to mine from work and picked that up on the way through and made the new cable after i sent the pics before i posted the thread. He's a handy man!! Glad I've got her back now :-)

Thanks again Marshy. so just an update and a little troubleshooting has sorted out the issue. I will list what i have done just in case it might help someone else in the future... A friend had ordered me a new starter and quickly put together a new and temporary cable for me. First I hooked...

thanks Marshy - don't suppose anyone could give a rough price on the new part? would stealership be best or are the aftermarket parts just as good to use here?

apologies the pics aren't terribly great! But thanks NHN helps allot also. Do you think this is my issue then? excuse the possible silly question here also, but what does this wire actually do??

sorry for the late reply. Crappy iPhone wouldn't let me attach the photo's so here they are. Tried to show where it comes from and where it goes to. Hope they are of use to both of you

No nothing. I have recently taken another look with the starter out and found a very thick black wire that, I suspect to be an earth, to have a snapped end. Looks like it starts from underneath the battery and up to the top of gearbox but doesn't look directly connected to either?

Hi everyone, I have a starting issue on my 2005 2.0 140 dsg TDI A3. I returned home from a 40 odd mile trip, parked up on the drive and headed into the house for 10 or 20 minutes then popped out to the motor again to move to a more appropriate position and nothing. Everythning works as...

Thanks again mate. Trying to find a bumper with headlight washers is a massive pain! If i bought a bumper without the holes do you reckon i could just cut the holes myself?

Thanks, Shouldn't be too bad if you don't need any instructions; famous last words though! Last question though- Is it the lamp that needs changing or is it the lamp and plastic surround?? Once I've done it I'll post some pictures :) Thanks guys

apologies J8TT X I have only just seen your post. Is there a decent right up on the change?

Yes that's correct - I'll have to use that system. Do other members go by that?? Oh that's great, the one I want is the 8P2 S-line. so just for others that are searching for this (correct me if I'm wrong) you will need: Bumper (with headlight washers if you have OEM Xenon) Bonnet Single...
