Have a look at this mate

Have a look this it might help http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/aftermarket-radio.html

Used to do that as you know but was looking for fares!

I'd be up for a meet as long as it isn't a day when I'm at work.

As title really, my external temp display is out by about 5-7 degrees at least all of the time when compared to other cars anybody know if this could just be the sensor or something more complicated?

Just seen this but unfortunately I'm working anyway. I seem to always be at work when anything happening.

Still in Dunlop mate. What you doing now then?

Had mine done a couple of months after I bought mine was on 76k I think when changed (just under 10 years) , garage said I was lucky as belt had a split in it. Also possibly original belt.

Its Rob mate worked with you at dial a cab it was when you said you had Audi quattro I put 2 and 2 together, I had the Vectra.

Dave?

As above does anybody know if this is a direct fit and if not which other boxes are? TIA

Will this bolt kit fit? Seems a lot of money for a few bolts, whats so special about them to be costing that much?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Volkswagen-Golf-Bora-02J-Gearbox-Bolt-Kit-12-5mm-or-12-25mm-/150977606514?hash=item2326f77372:m:mcSEBLa6qL9F-qWm0P0nRlg#vi-ilComp

Thanks yeah have read about these rivets disintegrating or whatever and being a common issue on VAG boxes, I love the car engine sweet as a nut, needs a front end respray due to crap in bottom of wings and stone chips but its a great size with a a good size boot and goes well enough. You might be a bit far for me mate I'm in South Shields but thanks anyway. Anybody know anywhere in North East that they would recommend for box refurbs or what other boxes fit without any trouble?

Thanks for that sounds exactly what mechanic is saying i.e. something to do with gears in diff, however dont know whether its worth fixing or trading only had car 11 months so a bit pi55ed off to be honest especially with the lowish miles

Had a knocking from underneath car but more of a feeling of a knock not sound which I thought might be a drive shaft/cv joint or similar however garage says box is fubar, anyway he reckons best is recon box rather than second hand but by the time I've paid for this inc clutch/flywheel and labour think its going to be about £650-£800, car only has 78k on it would have thought a box would last longer than that.

Bottom of both my wings are rusty because of this, couldnt believe the amount of dirt that came out when I pulled the liner back.

Haven't used it yet think its going to have to wait til next year now by the time I get some spare time:(
