I need to replace the drivers side rear diff seal is it possible to do this with the car on drive on ramps without taking the wheel off?? Thanks Iain

yes i do i have had hid kits before from ebay, and hit and miss really describes the experienece, i fitted Rays kit to our Passat (sorry used to be audi owner for many years) and having driven it to austria and back skiing earlier this month i was really impressed with the colour (pure white)...

I bought some 5k hid's from a seller on ukpassats i am blown away how good they are you need to contact Ray forum member man_utd_99, tell him iain recommended you.

Just wondered where the best place pricewise is to buy lower arms these days? i am after lemforder or meyle and any thoughts on TRW? Thanks Iain

kind of answered my own question as part of its service i changed the fuel filter the battery didnt have enough power to crank it over for more than 3 to 4 minutes ended up having to jump start it from wifes passat spun over a lot quicker but the starter still sounded heavy if that makes sense.

I am hopefully changing the oil tomorrow so can have a look and see if there is anything loose, might pop off the cables and give them a clean just to be sure, i am guessing you cant just pull them apart and give them some sort of clean and lube?

halfords tested it today, i saw the results on his machine thanks for the tip on the 5 spd and 6pd i have checked the part no's on etka and i need a six speed which is 068911024h or or hx (exchange) i might well try giving the contacts a clean and earth straps. thanks

My car is struggling a bit to turn over when cold and the starter motor seems to make a much deeper loader noise than it should. I have had the battery tested and that's fine is there anything i can do to the starter by the way of cleaning lets say to make work how it should (its done 124k) or...

i guess i am checking for continuity??

i have pulled the boot back and couldnt see anything

Hiya, i have a problem with my sisters cabrio the passenger door wont unlock sometimes and it sprung a code of 01560 59-00 passenger door cant unlock, it can be manually unlocked by pulling twice on the handle is it the door lock micro switch or something else? Thanks Iain

Well today was a lovely cold and crisp day, got the job done and not as bad as i thought it might be, definately have to warm the new one up and after a test drive it now doesn't miss. The re map that's already on it pulls even stronger now, so thanks to all who helped fix another problem.

having done a pump replacement i didnt use any special tools

Subject line says it all really, as i probably looking at doing the bottom arms as a minimum, i am guessing dealer is too much money? Thanks iain

I had that on my old A3 mr muscle down the turbo and managed to get some ACF50 (top stuff btw) down onto the shaft on the outside to help free it off, was fine after that.

How hot does it need to be will a hairdryer do or more like heat gun? Thanks for all the replies btw

I test drove it and it seemed fine only on the way home today after picking it up have i really noticed it, it has a huge history with it and only done 124k so i hope its not serious. if run logs what i am logging and what am i looking for? Thanks Iain
