hi guy driving along tonight and my engine management light came on. the glow plug light also started flashing. I done a scan when I got in and it was code16705 crank sensor. car seems to run ok. so where does this sensor live so I can swap it out

hi guys, trying to work out the correct sequence to tighten the hub nut on my mk 1 vrs. ive read a few variations - but this one comes up a few time - Stage 1: 225NM or 166lbft Stage 2: Turn wheel Hub at Least 90' Stage 3: Apply a further 50NM or 37lbft Stage 4: Angle tighten a further 60 degrees. (equivalant to 2 points on a 12-point nut) but ive read some posts that say between stage 1 and 3 - you loosen the nut 1/2 a turn. Now this all makes quite a difference, i tightened mine without backing it off half a turn and now about 100 miles later the bearing is gone... can anyone confirm the correct way to do things

have you got a front left hub c/w wheel bearing?

have you got a front left hub c/w wheel bearing?

hello, can anyone tell me what type of grease I should use on the inner cv joint on my 05 mk 1 vrs. I am assuming the roller bearings require a thinner grease than the usual grey stuff you put in the outers?

i think if we all done that then there would be no new threads...

hi guys, so who has changed the head unit in their vrs - how do you get the old one out? do you need one of those facia adaptors and a harness adaptor? cheers chris

PM'd

hello, do you have a drivers side driveshaft off the vrs please

yeah thats right, its a a single ring pull type thing, all it does is scratches the wheels!

Hi guys, on my mk 1 VRS, the little plastic caps that cover the wheel bolts are areal pain to remove using the tool they provide - anyone else noticed this or have something they ude to remove them thats better? Cheers Chris

Hello. Ive just got a new release bearing for a smf conv on the vrs. It looks near identical to the dmf version. Well the new one is 0.5 ish mm thicker. I was expecting it to be quite a bit different

yeah thats exactly whats wrong with mine, the metal is not only rusted but also broken!

Hello. Ive recently acquired a a smf and clutch for my octy vrs. Which release bearing should I get for it?

Hello. My bonnet release that pops throught the grill is old and damaged. I took the latch off and unbolted it but couldnt seem to manouve it out of the grill. Im assuming you can buy it separately?
