Go to "design" , then "wheels".

Look like "Albea" from an Altea.

Anyone know what these alloys are called?

Cheers in advance ��

I thought they were off the S5... :-/

 

[CharlySkunkweed]

On closer inspection they maybe aren't the Albea , the spokes are twisted the opposite way !

Audi "5 parallel spoke design" (catchy)

 

[STU3Y]

They look very similar to the ibiza alloys

Cant believe how bad gearbox oil smells. Thought the 6 speed box takes about 2.5l but i only managed to fill about 2.1l before it started to come out.

 

[Daniel M]

Yeah sounds about right. Mine was just over 2.1

Hoping it will get rid of the notchiness i was getting. Couldnt engage reverse every so often first time etc. Plus im tempted to get a short shift but cant find anywhere that sells 42DD metal bushes that was on someone thread on here that someone recommended them.

If you want to get rid of notchiness then dont go fitting metal bushes and short shifts etc.

I ran:

Forge quickshifter
Forge sideshifter
42DD bushes
AKS Tuning gearbox bushes

The gearstick was very mechanical feeling which I loved but most people said it was to stiff (coupled with SMF heavy clutch pedal) and they didn't like it.

I had the quickshifter and 42DD bushes and it gave a nice shift, as you say very mechanical.

Proper notchiness as in struggling to actually get it in gear to me indicates a problem elsewhere, either the gearbox oil is shot or the linkages need resetting.

Not sure mate but someone said last night that they thought they were off the Ibiza

Ive changed the gearbox oil so only time will tell.

Does anybody know if this is any good??....

its for an fr

Looks a lot like the Neuspeed P-flo except for the filter

 

[GrahamFR]

which james drives.

looks decent enough, i assume that a k&n filter so not too bad and autotech are pretty well known so the quality should be up to scratch.

decent write up here http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50428
