Where did you get the Parking Sensors License Plate Holder mate?? I want one of those my self! Are you happy with it? Working fine?

I bought it at a local hardware shop, been looking for them for ages on ebay, but I found them a tad to expensive. This one was on sale from 59euros to 18 euros. Too good to pass up

Check this for UK customers: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321143783428

Almost looks the same.

 

[FrixosLeon]

18 euros only?? Are they still on sale?? Is there any way I can get one shipped in Cyprus for me??

 

[Fitkin]

Replaced both rear wheel bearings both front outer cv boots and front discs and pads, and also ordered my self a polished oil catch tank and some blue silicon hose to plump it all in with carnt wait to fit it

Changed fuel filter, gearbox oil and mid-way though doing engine oil. Can't find the filter, but seems it's under the expansion bottle.

I dont think so, its a local hardware shop that doesnt ship. I didnt see any other plates laying around anymore.

 

[Bouncerbeater]

There's loads of those sensors on eBay. Just search "number plate reversing sensors" some are bound to ship to Cyprus.

Exactly!

 

[Captain Cupra]

Put it up for sale, sadly and reluctantly, someone's gonna get a proper bargain and mint car.... A right steal

Put too much oil in it because I'm an idiot, have to drain it before work in the morning damn!!

 

[nd-photo.nl]

Some thing like a Pela 6000 pump works very well in this situation

 

[Dave_c85]

Don't have one unfortunately. Any other suggestions other than draining from the sump?

Timing Belt

had timing belt and water pump renewed wallet a lot lighter lol

 

[David McMahon]

Got my oil changed, really impressed with the car now. From reading up I should now use Vagcom to pull codes.

I loved today having the torque of the engine pull me at 30MPH in 6th.

Feels faster than my Bimmer 328i

My TPS button is broken so that's the first actual part to change on the car.

Stereo works well with glove box mounted changer, but radio is pants, feels like loose/bad Ariel

 

[Dave_c85]

Don't go putting the foot down at 30 in 6th or you will be buying a new clutch soon

 

[Crhome]

Ragged it on the way to work and back knowing it ain't gonna go boom with my newly forged engine. I did run it in by the way lol

Ok, there was me thinking I was saving fuel!

I do normally knock a 0 off the road sign for the gear, so 30 is 3rd, 40 is fourth etc
