  4. They are for the Scout model ... Will the fit my VRS
  5. Anyone know where I can get two new front fog lamps for a 2007 VRS. Tried dealer but they want €220 ????
  6. Yep that's me currently ... I think its time to remove
  7. What are you in about? When did I say I expected my TDI to do short runs but not have any problems with it?
  8. Spoke to a guy that can do a nice tidy job for me so I'll be going down the removal route ????
  9. Marked in my service book and also a warranty sticker in the boot that the garage put there when they done it. What yr and mileage have you?
  10. Thanks for the reply, yep recall was done and yes first time I ever seen this light. I do a lot of motorway miles and country roads so that's probably saved me a lot but I just feel like the regens are way more frequent now. I am seriously considering getting the internals of the dpf removed and just like you said a remap to only do whatever is needed to code the blanked dpf I'm not interested in increasing the bhp. Car testing is like you said something to be very careful of, so getting it removed needs to do done nice and tidy.
  11. Thanks, appreciate the reply. So let me just get this right. When a regency is happening, you cannot be stuck in traffic?
  12. Hi all, Looking for some advice here please. I was stuck in approx 2 hrs traffic last Friday and for the first time ever the dpf light came on the dash. Eventually I got out to the motorway and after 10 mins the light went off. Today I was in the city and again while I was driving around it was again regenerating for about 25 mins (I made sure to keep the revs high in 2/3rd). I have 240kms on the car as well. All feedback welcome please as I am sure ppl have experience with this before. I am wondering if I need to get this removed or cleaned or something else. Cheers.
  13. Hi all, A few months ago when I was driving on the motorway I noticed some vibrations coming from the back. Initially I thought it might be balancing so I brought it to my local tyre center to get that checked. When they put it up on the lift the back right tyre was worn unevenly meaning there was maybe 4 flat spots and then a “bump” rotating constantly along the inside of the tyre. The tyre center guy said that it was my back shocks and to get them changed … So I brought it to the garage and they said my shocks were fine and it was tracking …. So brought it back to the tyre center to get the alignment checked and yes it was out slightly in the back so get that corrected, a new tyre fitted and that was that …. But now the same vibration is back and this time it is the back left L Has anyone ever had this problem before L
