Sometime around late October/early November last year I noticed that the my wife's 2.0 TFSI was making some rather odd noises. Over time I decided it was probably 'blowing' a little and the exhaust needed a change. I thought it didn't sound too bad and so put it off 'til after Xmas. A few...

Hi guys, I have a small circle of rust emerging on the lower end of one of the doors, I thought I'd get it sorted before it becomes a problem. I know the routine for removing the rust and filling over, however I'm not so certain about the method for smoothing/painting/blending into the rest...

Hi - my 1999 Mk 2 TDi Toledo has dead air con. :( It died suddenly last week. Took it in to a local aircon specialist today. They traced a leak near the bulkhead. Quoted £450 + VAT to replace the offending pipe! Cost of pipe alone is £180 -odd from Seat dealer. It goes all over the place so...
