Where is the fuel line? Is this something I can check myself?

Would you not hear that if you were stood outside the car?

Re: Cam Follower replacement cost - other maintenance necessary?

The rear brake is bloody awkward (That M14 Spline) to do for such a simple job, don't let it put you off as many of the maintenance items you speak of are fairly simple to do yourself

Alex from VW retrofit in Redditch currently has an interface board for sale
This is a rare piece of kit that (only few were made) that allows the mk7 steering wheel, WITH cruise buttons, to fully work

Full again with what?  Pics?

When I got it I cleaned it out and it was pretty much compost.

Re: Seized rear caliper
Last Poster: H4MXU in Mk5 General Area on October 19, 2019, 08:22:26 PM

I wouldn't bother to try rebuilding your caliper, I've heard it's rarely successful  and probably cost just as much in labour as buying a new or reconditioned caliper.

That’s true, thanks

I’ve been offered a set of rear Calipers and discs off an Ed3

Last Poster: Pudding in Mk5 General Area on October 19, 2019, 07:25:48 PM

There are quite a few interesting dyno tests on the efficacy of Millers NT.

There are also a few interesting reports about the additive falling out of suspension and forming clumps in the container.  Probably best to give it a vigorous shake and use a sieve.  You don't want

I am the 4th owner and have owned the car for 4 years. I have improved the car with some choice modifications which improve drive-ability and power delivery. These cars can suffer from wheel hop and torque steer which has been eliminated on this car. It also breaths a lot freer and the power deliver is what it should have been out of the factory. Its very nippy to say the least!

The car has been maintained meticulously with all common fault parts such as thermostat and rear calipers replaced. It also has the latest revision PCV and an uprated diverter valve. Please see service history below for full list.

The car is currently faultless and drives superbly.
