If you dont want to make your own connectors there are plenty on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110409021193&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&salenotsupported

The workshop key is identical to your main key, but has a different side profile which does not fit into the glovebox or boot keyhole.

Uk/European remotes generally work with a 433.05–434.79 MHz (433.92MHz) wireless carrier wave, using amplitude modulation. A mobile picks up and sends a stunted set of frequencies from within the range of the average human voice. Even if a mobile could pick up the signals and transfer them...

I thought that if the bulb starts up and then goes out it is generally the bulb failing? A dodgy ballast would either not start, or only fire-up intermittently? Not 100% on that though.

The ebayer i bought mine from is not listing at the moment. The cheapest ballast i can find at the mo is £9.99, but it is from Hong Kong, so p&p is also £9.99. Ebay Item number: 250211164240

Virtually all HID ballasts are now made by the same companies. The cost of a replacement ballast is around £8. It is most economical to get the cheapest set available.

You could try the '2 key' remote sync, with only one key. Turn your single key in the ignition. Wind down the drivers window. When it comes to the part where you lock/unlock the drivers door, instead of a second key, use the interior security locking button next to the drivers door handle.

Fitting a turbocharger to your non-turbo engine would require a great deal of work & expense. You would have to lower the compression, alter the fueling and ignition/management/mapping, fit new parts like sensors, manifolds, cams, turbo, exhaust parts, turbo management system, possibly...

All old type remote locking 'vacuum' pumps with the same part number are interchangeable, it does not matter if the suffix is different.

If you replaced your central locking pump, it is possible that it has altered/reset the number in your central locking/central convenience module. You need to use VAGCOM, and re-enter the right number for your locking options. A3 pre-97 http://www.robvanguard.co.uk/a3/CODING97.pdf A3...

I used 2 different sizes of male bullet connectors to plug the new 'D' connector into the old 'round' connector.

That would work (misinterpreted your earlier statement, doh!) I think it is a mistake to have different locks on the car, it will eventually present problems.

If he swaps the blade part, his key wont fit the new ignition barrel. You will have two different locks on the car, but if you use the remote for the doors, it wont present a problem. Do you really need a new ignition barrel? The new reader coil should do the trick? To use the 7...

Yes, the keys should have come with a 4 or 7 digit 'Secret Key Code'. If your keys came with the 4 digit SKC it will be easy. If they came with the 7 digit SKC (which is an encrypted 4 digit SKC) you will need extra information to input into vagcom. 4 digit SKC...

Some of the 3 button remotes do work on the 2 button cars. The boot unlock doesnt do anything though.

Excellent advice, plus dont use an aftermarket 'performance' filter, stick to the standard paper type. As your stock turbo will generally be spinning much faster, and wont appreciate more particulates in the intake flow.

The European and USA keys work on different frequencies. UK remotes work on 433.92MHz The US remotes work on 315MHz It states the MHz on the back of the remote half of the fob.

If your old key still works in the ignition, the transponder capsule in the key end is still ok. If so, you only need to buy the correct remote half of the fob. If you had a 2 button flip key, these 2 & 3 button remote parts should work: 4D0 837 231 4D0 837 231 A 4D0 837 231 B 4D0...

The Dunlop SP's seem very similar to the Continental Sport's, they are both good tyres and last well, but produce a lot of road noise.

Toyo Proxes or Goodyear Eagle F1's. Both excellent all round tyres.
