Have you had the air con regassed? The refrigerant can leak out over time and it is no longer efficient at cooling. Mine was not cooling much. Coldest at vent was 16C. Once regas completed it was 6C

At that price you are getting close to a whole wheel! Ive had a quick browse and can't seem to find it anywhere. Best bet might be to keep an eye out for a cheap wheel. Looking to be about £75 on ebay at the minute but they may take offers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316085436528

If it’s in the outer section on the car rather than the tailgate then they are pretty easy to remove. Open tailgate. Pull off plastic side cover. Undo 2x Torx and pull light cluster backwards. Disconnect wires. You can then remove the two bulbs and do some shaking and blowing and you might be lucky to remove it. I had a ladybird in mine and managed to get it out.

Hi. Can someone send me an aliexpress/ Amazon link or OEM part number for the correct plastic door card trim fittings please? I broke a couple when fitting my speakers and there were enough left intact to put the door card back on but I’m planning on removing the door cards again for an upcoming project so it would be handy to have a few spare to replace the missing ones and just in case some more go. Thanks!

There’s not much I haven’t been able to find on the forum in old posts and when there’s not something existing there’s people who know and are willing to help. Love this place!

If you have carscanner app for coding then you don’t need xor calculator as it seems to be built in. Seemed to just clear the fault for me. If not @JR RS has some info in his software update guide on how to use it.

Looks very nice. Is it lowered? Or is that the OEM ride height? I think in time I will convince myself that an eibach pro kit needs to be installed on my superb…

Also this is a great guide. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/491232-front-and-rear-dashcam-installation/ The only thing I would say is I’ve seen on another post where someone made a little bracket where their rear dashcam mounted to the back wedge of the headliner so it saved you having to run cables into the boot door.

I ran reversing camera the low route along side trim which was pretty straight forward. If you want to go along the top I reckon if you just take off pillar trims and release liner from the door seals there is enough play to tuck a small cable in without removing all the bits that keep the headliner in place. Just need to be mindful to topic it behind the curtain airbags. I’ve got all the manuals and the interior one describes how to remove all the trim. if you want access I can send you the link.

Have you scanned it for fault codes? It could be a faulty control module

That will look great. I was thinking of doing my roof glass black including the spoiler but now I’ve got the black roof bars I think it looks better as white otherwise you don’t get the contrast.

White with black trim and wheels and red calipers! 😍

I called dealer and they confirmed it will be free of charge. I will get it booked in soon.

Sorry to hear that @Cairus I find working on my car a nice distraction from work and family noise! But spending time with family is also important!

Might just be bad luck with the spares

Sounds the the actuator for the temperature control isn’t working either. With the car up to temp, If you set it to coldest then slowly increase temp by 2 degrees every few seconds until hi does the temp increase at all. If it does then it may be that the aircon needs degassing rather than a diverter issue.

Do you have the part number that you replaced the speakers with. If the end with A it could be that you replaced them with the first generation ones that could have failed in the same way again with magnet detaching.

Thats a serious amount of retrofit. I didnt understand what you meant by the illuminated seatbelt buckles until i looked at the photos but they are pretty cool! didnt know they were a thing. It will look much nicer with all white switches. The positioning of the driving profile selector is very clever. Neatly tucked away. Can we see some photos of the outside? PS we are the same age! PPS - I am honored to be listed alongside such legends as @JR RS and @Bap33 !

A couple of jobs done today. Replaced the drivers door inner seal as the original one had worn from driver getting in and out. The second hand one I got from eBay had a little wear but hadn’t split so I just rotated it about 45 degrees so the wear was on the back edge where it won’t wear any more. Pretty simple fit, you just have to take a couple of trim pieces off. As I had already had some of the trim off and it was finally a sunny afternoon I thought I would tackle installing the black roof rails. Thanks to @Kosin for the install tips. Pretty much remove anything attached to headliner around the edges, all pillar trims and top boot trims. To remove the sun visors and handles you need the OEM/Laser long nose flat pliers at £60 to £30. Luckily Ali express to the rescue again with a cheap tool that does the job perfectly for £3 https://a.aliexpress.com/_EHRShvy To access the rear of the front pair of bolts you have to disconnect the plug from the curtain airbag igniter. Not too much bother with the battery disconnected and an appropriate wait time to make sure everything is powered down. Apart from when I had fully reinstalled the liner and trims and got an airbag error warning and realised I had forgotten to reconnect the passenger side! Doh! So that half all got disassembled again to reconnect it. Now all done everything back in its place and all fault codes cleared with no issue. All in about 3hrs work. It would have been 2.5 without my airbag mistake! So that’s the last of the dechrome jobs done and now full Sportline-ish exterior spec (apart from wheels and stance both of which are outside the budget for now!)

I don’t know for certain and I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong. But the car should have its own crossover to sort out the signal to the speakers. So if you use the OEM wiring directly onto your speakers and leave out the aftermarket crossover one would assume that it would work fine. That’s what I would do anyway! Doesn’t mean it’s right though!

For future reference to get the cover off you would have to remove bumper. Pre facelift had a couple of holes you could poke a screwdriver through to release it. Bumper removal:

Yes that. And also the extension on our house is nearly complete so time and funds will be diverted to that!

If you want more bass you could always do something like this…
