If you don't have a button inside the tailgate (when its open) which you can push to close it then I would guess it doesn't have a powered tailgate. I know on some saloons and hatchbacks people fit some sort of springs that will assist opening until the gas struts kick in but I'm not sure its...

Yeah unless the coilovers come with some sort of locator you do have to at least use the rubber bush but I think you could see that in the picture you attached in the other thread? Must admit I wouldn't mind having the car lower than it is now, I do like how yours is sat, but I share the car...

In another thread regarding which springs/how low etc I mentioned that on the H and R springs it seemed to sit a little higher on the rear. Not excessively but enough to notice. I said for a while I was gonna look at the options on the back end as I thought the top spring mount/bush also acted...

Yeah just remember to prize the airbag logo from the bottom or top and not the sides as one side has a retaining tab so even when off it stays attached but otherwise not too much to worry about. If you've got 5 coming you can toy with the shape a lot more without worrying as much I'd say.

Well looks like the cheapy option and a heat gun does the trick, it could be a little smarter but I do have another one spare if OCD gets the better of me Included a pic of the clips that hold the a pillar trim on (as well as the T20 torx screw under the airbag badge) and why they're quite a...

The airbag badge shouldnt get wrecked? Unless you already did that lol. The clips that hold the a pillar trim on further down though are rediculously strong I noticed, they seem to have like an extra tab on them or something to stop them coming out. Yeah the one fitted on the Skodas is supposed...

Cheers, yeah I pulled the a pillar trim off and like a lot of the newer VAG stuff they have a really narrow black band around the screen. There is some room on the a pillar itself though and I ordered a pair of the sticky pad ones for less than 2 quid so gonna see how one reacts to some heat gun...

Hey guys, anyone know if there is an option on these to have a parking ticket clip, I had an Octavia before which had one (and seen it on plenty of Skodas in my line of work) If not I might see if there's a way to retrofit a Skoda one, or has anyone used one of those that come up on ebay with...

Frozen beads

I'm going a way back to our Passat days but isn't desertstorm midlands based? He's a smart bloke and wouldn't be surprised if he still runs VCDS

Nice, will bare that in mind when I come round to getting a cam setup. In a related/unrelated way I do a lot of work for a Volvo dealership (windscreen fitter or glass tech to use the posh name) and as soon as they get DAB issues one of their go to warranty fixes is to replace the heated rear...

Has it notified you mate? either way the post is just under or 2 posts under this one now I believe.

@AndyT306 this one, good list earlier in the thread

There's a decent post where one guy has shown a load of stuff, I'll see if I can tag you in it.

It's a CRTD 272 with almost 100k on. Made 280bhp and 475lbft standard (with dpf delete installed) then 316bhp and 525lbft remapped. This was before the fmic and downpipe but it hasnt had another run or map tweak. The turbo would be the next thing to look at if I want to take it further but...
