Evil

Got mine from here last November.. (for the Mk1 vRS, AUQ engine) Parts in Motion | Quality Car Parts | Free UK Delivery Part number was (still is?) 0280218340 They will check compatibility. And it's not an exchange unit like most are these days either.

I have the Ramair kit on mine... if you're expecting induction roar you may be disappointed. Sounds a bit more wheezy generally. When 'giving it some', you get a pssshhh from the turbo coming off the gas at full throttle.

Probably 2nd hand... they do come up from time to time (usually when I'm potless) with the added advantage that the pipework should be a straight fit. New, wellycooler seems to get mentioned a lot (no idea where to buy). Don't know what the quality is like on the ebay or Aliexpress kits.

My understanding is that FMIC is still the way forward.. there are uprated (thicker, fully aluminium) SMIC but they aren't as good as an FMIC.. What I haven't worked out/found out (yet) is ideal size for bhp (or whether it's simply a case of go as big as you can) or best place to buy..

Rear carpets are limited options surely... Door seals and/or that plastic film stuff behind the door cards... I'll just replace the lot if I can source it and it doesn't cost me an internal organ.

Ta mate... searched on Comfort, not Komfort.... typically.. Always misplacing my depinning set so usually just order a new set. Searching for part numbers for all the wet weather seals for the rear doors at the mo, carpets are wet so I'm just going to replace the bloody lot... Car almost went up for sale 2 days ago when the windscreen was frozen on the inside. Pi$$ed me right off.

At least I think that's what it's called.... When you tap the indicator stalk you get 3 flashes of the indicators. Anyone fitting the wiring kit? Mine arrived today, alleged to fit, also alleged to be incredibly simple, instruction manual is completely German. Anyone know of an English manual or source of an English how2?

Been trawling 7zap for 2 hours and getting nowhere.. 💥 My carpets are damp in the front and wet in the back... I'm pretty sure it's the door rubbers on the body (judging from where I see the water run from the other day) but I'm looking to change all potential culprits.. So, if anyone has the part numbers for the plastic covers that go on the doors behind the cards and the rubber seals that go on the body (and the doors if there's any there) I'd be very grateful. I think that should fix it....... I'll keep looking in the meantime... thanks 👍

If I can afford it....

Nice!! I've just been contacted by an old pal from Southend who's an excellent sprayer (and welder).. He's offered to sort our cars for materials cost if we want.. He's also offered to build me a baja bug but that's a different story entirely 😆

I'm sure there's other possible outcomes... Who knows, we can only wait and see 🤷‍♂️

They're going to appeal and have 96 hours.... The stewards need their heads wobbling before next season.

Definitely... but at least be consistent and make it fair. I still think Mercedes should have taken Norris instead of Russell too.

That was not right. Max deserved A win but not like that.

Just doing the highlights.... what a mess!!

It's been broken over 2 weeks now.. The new (genuine VAG) master cylinder arrived this morning. Now I have to either find a VAG friendly mobile mechanic to come fit it or work out how to get the car to my trusted spannerman - which is logistically problematic.

Front door speakers are a huge disappointment - especially after the standard Mk4 Golf ones (I think the doors in the Golf helped massively too). I'm going to pay someone to fit mine, I really cba.. they can fit the new aerial too, and the sub in the boot - when I get it.

The deletes aren't too bad if you give yourself enough time, familiarise yourself with the bits and bobs your messing with and that... The thinking about it is definitely far worse than the doing it.

Gonna look the badgers nadgers mate. Very interested in how you get on with the intercooler, that's near the top of my list for the new year.. Tales of major hassle running pipework is off putting so I've been looking for as close to plug and play as possible.

Excellent!!!!!!!

Passed... Advisories on front discs (we knew this, see pic) and front tyres are getting low, that's it. Should be done at the start of December.

In for its first MOT while in our care.. My least favourite day of the year.

They look nice.... 😎 I really like the original interior but have to admit was thinking about options earlier. It'd have to be something pretty special though.
