Blimey, quick. What did you use?

Photo might help.

Just a thought. You might get something similar on AliExpress.

Unfortunately, I’d say you’d have no chance of getting those separately. What’s happened to yours; been nicked/broken?

Ours leaked about three years ago, in exactly the same place.

In a nutshell, spacers won’t improve “performance”, but they’ll provide a better visual “fill” of the tyres to the wheelarch. A Racechip GTS will give you an improvement of around 45PS and 75 nm of torque. I’ve been running one, plus their XLR throttle box for four years and I’m very happy with them both. I also had their diesel version on the CR170 MKII and was very happy with that too.

I’m not going down the ICE vs. home HiFi rabbit hole again. I’m not into DSP stuff when listening to music and the vast majority of stuff I listen to in the car is spoken word when driving and DVD’s / MP4 / MKV / TV when parked so for that, it is excellent. What amp is driving the B&W’s?

I LOVE to see 30avg on mine… closer to 20 unfortunately.

Best standard ICE I’ve had in any car. As for bass, I don’t really understand how much overwhelming bass is really needed, but then again I’m an old fart. Midrange is great.

Big cost SILTB.

No, as I just wanted the outer case, but I recalled they had the versions with the transponders fitted.

In reality, the OE supplier might be charging these to VW at €25 a side. So x that by ‘000s of vehicles and you get why they’ve deleted the passenger side autodim unit.

Here you go. You’ll need to get your current key cloned. I have one and it’s identical to the OE unit. ￡5.28 | Liberty Keyless Go Remote Car Key 3 Buttons 434MHz MQB 48 Chip FOB For VW Volkswagen Passat B8Superb A7 Magotan MQB48 2015-2019 https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQUmtE8

Needs to be coded to the car perhaps?

Given the mirror glass alone is £300-odd quid (you might get one from a breakers of course) I couldn’t justify it, but I know how annoying it must be.

Wow, that’s an amazing price and about what I paid in 2020. Can I ask where you live? I ask ‘cos in our case, there’s absolutely NO chance of getting anything like that with Aviva here in London. We’re a bit younger than both you, both on the policy with 5k annually and parked on the drive. Aviva quoted £926 last year with a compulsory £500 excess! The cheapest I’ve found in the last two years has been the site sponsor Chris Knott. It was £360 in ‘23 and £410 last year with protected NC and a £370 excess in both cases. I shop around every year and the market prices went insane from ‘22 when people began driving again in big numbers and it is still hardening. 🙄

Can you tell us who your broker is then?

Holy feck! 😳

Absolutely love those exhausts.

Blimey, that was a £750 option in 2016!

No, nothing.

The fluid level won’t necessarily drop if there’s air in the system. Just get it back to the “garage” ASAP - they should’ve just told you to do that. Oddly, it’s not going to become sentient and resolve itself.

Did you only just find the tow bar, Lee?

Interesting. I’m an old fart and the nav is exactly the same as it used to be which, like almost every other one, is pretty poor. To find something specific, I always use the Google site search EG site:briskoda.net now stick your search term in This generally gives the best results. Still if you’re set on leaving, seeya.

Go down the past of least cost first - check the wheels.
