I don't recall where I suggested to get a replacement but eBay would be my first place to check or if your OK with a soldering iron you might be able to replace the surface mounted LED's again source them from eBay

Found this in the structural repair manual, the area I've ringed in red is the gearlever opening for reference and the red hatched is the B X member

I can't find anything definite but I would go with the floor crossmember from the B pillar ?

The Entrance Plate, is the plastic trim over the door sill area * Torque is 9Nm

Oil temp at least 30c remove LT connector from coil pack 10~15 Bar New 7 Bar lower limit 3 Bar Max Diff between cylinders

@Tech1e Might be able to advise if a retrofit is possible ??

I used this https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-and-body-repair/adhesives/loctite-rear-view-mirror-adhesive-kit-464404.html when I replaced the mirror in my Ibiza

@DieselMonte looks like it is a belt https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/timing-belt-set-10505/subaru/justy/justy-i-kad/4409-1000

The camshaft drive if belt driven would also be top of the list to be replaced ?

Yes before it was more of a Gentleman's agreement and not up for inspection by the FIA but Ferrari have historically been the biggest cheaters over the years and probably are still just they can employ better accountants

Considering Ferrari have for years diverted some of their R&D costs into the production cars and have not been penalised

Phone your local stealership parts department and give them the reg plate or VIN and they will be able to give you the paint code

The two Black/Blue wires on pins 5&7 in the OEM Black connector they need to go to your pin A-4 & the Brown/Red wire on Pin 4 of the OEM Black connector needs to go to your pin A-7, Pin A-5 will be the switched output required to switch on your remote sub

There should be two Black/Blue wires on pins 5 & 7 of the Black connector that are fed from fuse #45 and that's a permanent supply

It's the K line diagnostic wire, and on some aftermarket radios if it's left connected it can cause problems

I would love to see JP win one last race

There is no Remote output on the OEM setup, if it's for the 2006 in your profile ? there is a +12v input anytime the key is in the ignition and that's the thin Brown/Red wire on pin 4 of the black connector. One other thing to ensure the replacement radio doesn't cause problems with the cars diagnostic system is make sure the Grey/White wire on pin 3 of the Black connector is not connected to the replacement radio's wiring

Looking at this https://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/old-interfaces/uC.php looks like it should work

This is my take on your questions. 1: I'll be fitting https://www.mtecbrakes.com/ discs on my Touareg when they are due, had them on a few cars and the quality exceeded OEM discs 2: I've got a full VCDS Hex-V2 setup that I know will work, the OBD Eleven you might need the Pro version ? or have to buy credits to get it to do the job ? 3: The chances are they are going to be the same sort of bolts used on the newer VAG models and that will be the Triple Square or XZN like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265778352338 4: The fronts will be as any other car, the rears once the handbrake system has been retracted should be a simple pad change ( the rears on my Treg are a pain as the parking brake is an internal drum arrangement setup that needs VCDS to set up the air gaps between the shoes and the the drum)

Seems the FIA are really cracking down on the rules https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/63104058 🤣🤣

I thought it was still under investigation? I've not seen anything from the FIA ? only a couple of the usual team principles slinging mud at each other

Earlier VAG models had a simple plunger locking actuator that it was easy to have the emergency pull release tab in the boot, but from around 2010> they swapped to a rotary actuator that meant the emergency release tab wasn't an option anymore. As has been said try smacking it with the palm while unlocking if not it's the plastic trim tool to force it open

G179 is Drivers side impact sensor & G180 Passengers T28a or /b are the main connectors for the door wiring on the A pillar

@Crucian this is the Scamp referred to above https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224631127243 £2.66 you'd use more in fuel driving to the local stealership to get the original build sheet printout and as I found the PDF I got from the Scamp was more detailed than the build sheets from the stealers

It might not be the clockspring only a fault code readout will highlight where the problem is, a very common cause of the airbag light are the connections too the front seats especially if they are frequently moved for different driver/passengers ?
