well today i had my cam belt, water pump and auxiliary belt done by James at VDS performance in west sussex. if anyone from the south east is looking for a reputable vag specialist, i would highly recommend him. The other half has been taking her stage 1 mk5 golf gti to him and have always had such high quality work and service from him. His knowledge and advice is second to none. if you check out vds performance on facebook you will see the customer reviews! absolute 5* vag specialist and the only person i trust with my car besides me! top job and will be going back to have james fit all my stage 2 + goodies once funds allow!
 
Cambelt kit & new water pump fitted, new front Disks & Pads fitted.
4 new Tyres next week, Mot and service later in the month.
Wallet truly bashed this month :(
 
Well, yesterday tbh but..................

Swapped xenon bulbs over to ascertain fault. Not the bulbs.

Somehow managed to swap the ballast/control units over without removing headlamp units/front bumper.

Bingo! Faulty control unit duly ordered.

That was AM

PM I backed it into a friends wall....................................... :cry::cry::cry::cry:

It easier than it looks.
Need to remover door inside cover and them look for all screws from the door handle.
there are two visivel, one that is removed only after remove door inside cover and two that are removed after lower the window and separe the seal between window and handler.

The handle cable is just click remove., but you need to upper the window to be able to acess it.
