Cheers.  Could someone remind me how to post photos as I’m not familiar with this style of forum.  Have just written a long post with Google Photo links but they don’t display.  I’m using my iPhone on Safari if that helps.

Not used a main dealer for years.

Same here. Only been to dealers once in 12 years for a warranty issue. Do my own work, servicing, replacing and repairing. Just as long as the net doesn't get switched off Ill be OK

Re: What did you and your MKV do today?

Vali from www.roc-headlight.co.uk in Wembley paid me a visit and refurbished the headlights of my car. They were starting to oxidise and toothpaste didn’t make much of an impression so best call in the professionals. He was easy to deal with and did a great job. Recommended!

Lots of places in London do it including Kwik Fit. Expect to pay @£80 depending on how much time they spend adjusting the toe and rear camber.

Thank you for coming back on here and responding....I was curious if you had ever decided to upgrade the WG or at least have it inspected.

I know about having an unexplainable issue...where you have to replace $#!@t in a process of elimination. I still haven't sorted out why my fuel rail pressure only specifies 110 bar when it should be 140 bar. After more than two year

Just re-read your post - are you saying it’s always on even with ignition on?  In which case you’ve got a different problem.....

Are VW CC's Worth Buying? Do They Hold Value?
Last Poster: dubnewbie in MK6 General Area on Yesterday at 10:07:39 PM

Hi,

Before I start, I know this isn't about a Golf or Jetta, but the engine comes from the same line/model of cars, hopefully this won't be moved to another stack of threads!

I'm looking at buying a new (used) car and have been thinking about the VW CC (2014 plate).
Its the 1.8 turbo petrol version, with around 40k on the clock. Cost = £9K~

Mine all leaked out through the condenser. I noticed the oil running down it when I had the bumper off to do another job. The Part was about £100 and only a few bolts to swap over.

Hopefully its something like that

Re: Installing W-ALK What am I doing wrong?
Last Poster: neilw in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 07:33:58 PM

I got so frustrated with it, in the end, I dropped the subframe, so no issues with where it was supported.

You can see how far out it was here, I think it must be down to the powerflex in the front of the control arm not having enough play to get the other end into position, that was the only variable I couldn't change to test.

Hi All,

I tried posting these the other night but couldn't as photobucket is a paid for site now and I rarely have a need to post pics these days.

So appologies in advance for a link, but I've put my wheels up on ebay as I need a quick sale on these.

Nothing wrong with them, just cosmeticly seen better days. They came with my car, ran just fine, the finish wasnt amazing but I wasnt going to rush to refurb them, then I stupidly scraped them whilst parking so as on the listing, bought another set and refurbished those so I could still use my car whilst they were being done.

Since then I kept them as spares but don't have the space to keep them any more due to moving so need them shifted.

let me know if you want them or to do a deal and wrap it up early.

thanks in advance

I'm also trying to shift some bmw 1 series Msport wheels if any one is interested in those, also on my ebay sellers items.

cheers folks
