    I've read the guides but for f**k sake, how do you get the engine cover off?

    I've got the 2.0 TFSI and have read a number of guides on how to get the engine cover off but it just won't budge. I've tried running the engine and even driving on a dual carriage way to warm it up but I still can't the b*stard off. I've found where the rubber grommets are and simply can't...

    Anyone got their old front brake pad with a sensor lying around?

    Am looking to upgrade my front brake pads to some Ferodo DS2500 pads on my 2.0TFSI quattro. These pads don't have the wear sensors so thought I'd use an old sensor and connect the wires on that rather than trying to put a wire on the current sensor. So, anyone got their old front pad with the...
