Can i Have a few full car shots. Looking at *weekend* cars... and yes i have permission from the missus.... ;-)

Yo, I'm down the road dude, pm me and ill give you my mob number, got vcds, will sort you out

I have a steam mp3 with code you can have free if you want it

The having to pay the man hours to look at the car even on warranty issues is quite normal. I have had the same, and always not paid the labour being due to whatever being covered under warranty so IMO it's not too much to worry about...

i've got a 55/40 h & r cup kit and whiteline ARBs on mine. i like it. you should have 225 width tyres on not 245, that may be effecting your ride quality as will the top mounts, bushes and quality of the lowering kit that has been used. If you want a set of standard 1.9 tdi estate suspension then i have a set, you can PM me for details.

worn dogbone (transmission) mount?I recently had excess vibration from an aftermarket dogbone bush, so going back to standard item. Does the amount of vibration vary with engine load? Does the car shudder at pull off. not vibration but shudder? That is an idication the DMF is faulty, easy to check with a small test drive and there is an inspection hole to check DMF part number, or at least there was on an older PD140 based car I used to have.

Just buy a Bolero stereo off here for around £150 and use the SD card slot. Or buy a Columbus if you want nav...

Get a RARB, white line or H&R... Well worth the money

I'll have a set for sale refurbed soon, away being done now.

Anyone know is the S3 310mm rears are just an easy bolt on? I assume caliper needs changing? What about hub, etc?

Interersting, Did you make some caliper brackets up to suit and use OEM discs? And just change the rear calipers and discs? Were any other parts used? And if you don't mind sharing the cost...

Right, calm down you lot. It doesn't overly matter why, or who's driving method is "right". This thread is for info on improving braking, not the old left vs right argument. Tyres make a good difference to braking. A good point. Upgrading to VRS brakes suffices for most people also. So that's the 312mm disc, with what size piston caliper? Have people upgraded rears here? Specifically talking estates, as that's what I have. Anyone done anything with other VAG group parts? Other than the S3/R32 brake setup which many regard as a bit heavy with regards to higher weight vs brake improvement.
