Its enough friction to make reversing harder, im sure its not the brake shields as ive manually pried them away from the disc a couple of times on the roadside haha

gonna have to jack it up tomoz and check it out

Just the very edge of the inside left wheel was touching the coilover thread but only reversing? Weird. Probably need a proper alignment!

No fuss as i had some spare spacers to put on.

Itll be camber (if theres any adjustment on them) or wheel offset.

*Worth getting it checked sooner than later. It could wreck your tyres.













*Yeh, i know i like spending other people's money aswell as my own lol

My car has needed an alignment for soooo long but i keep having to go back in and take things off etc lol . Im pretty certain just by eyeballing it the subframe needs adjusting, i believe on this AUQ platform i have no camber adjustment at all. But on the back of that i read. very cool breakdown on the mk4 of how being as low as i am introduces positive camber on hard cornering . Its not a track car so im probably not going to raise it up, but i will get some of these:

If you go for theses have a look a cb autos. You can go for the 30mm bushes then get the insert so they then fit your arms and you have even less Bush movement. Pop to my yard 1 evening if you want mate I have some in a set up you can have a look at

The more I look into boost gauges the more of a ball ache it seems to be on a diesel. I'm reading that the best place to plumb it in is just below the elbow boost pipe that connects to the EGR and that you have to cut a thread in the plastic. I'm not sure I trust a thread I've cut into plastic with that much pressure.

Any other TDI people running boost gauges who can advise?

On top of that, what's the best a-pillar pod.that actually fits?

Personally used the vent mount instead, i couldnt find any pillar pods except for a website that looked quite old.
