Thanks

A further question to addon to this, are the 8P1 and 8P2 bonnet the same?

Lightning quick! Thanking you kindly NHN.

Can't seem to find this searching... In need of a new front bumper, grille and bonnet :-( Have been looking at breakers. Does anyone know will the front end of a 2005 3 door fit a sportback? Same trim level, sport.

Thanks Fossie. It's gone from driving across the county twice a day to just sitting in the driveway. Hopefully it just needs a top-up.

Need to charge the OEM Varta battery in my 2005 2.0 TDI. Does anyone know if this is a sealed or wet battery? Only code I can see on top is VAO, and according to the Varta website that doesn't exist. No indication as to what the type is either.. black dynamic, blue dynamic etc. Its a 72Ah...

Where did you pick up the oil and filter Paul?

Have they advertised it as a 170? If so could be a nice bargaining angle. Just show them the sticker in the boot tyre well that says 110KW and say that's a 140 not a 170... now drop the price again...

Bushes on both front lower wishbones need doing, and I've heard it's generally a better idea to just replace the whole arm as the bushes are a PITA to remove and replace. 2 questions: Why are there 2 types of wishbone available? The pressed type and the cast type... I assume the cast type...

That price is outragous. If it does need doing, get the part and fit it yourself. Not a hard job...
