Handbrake rivit
Last Poster: Kontiki in Mk5 General Area on Yesterday at 11:30:45 pm
Does anybody know weather you can buy the funny looking rivit and socket that holds the plastic guide for the handbrake cable to the rear trailing arm. You’re supposed to drive the rivit out and reuse it . Looks easy on the u-tube tutorials, well not in reality on a 14 year old rusty under carriage. If anyone can help I’d be extremely grateful. Possibly even a part number!

Hi all,
I own a VW Golf V 1.9 GT Sport 2008 and have a small issue related to the right side parking light (passenger side).
I have tried to change the bulb (reference T10 W5W), and I see that the new one doesn'#039t work. I tried with another new bulb, and I see that it doesn'#039t work either.
I have checked all the fuses in the driver'#039s side fuse box,

Thank you, guys! Slowly recuperating :) - as there is no rush... Since I last wrote here, I paid a bit of attention to the other cars in the "quotfleet"quot - which got to be 6 up until a couple of months ago. I'#039ve let 2 go because I wasn'#039t really driving them - but the Golf was not one of them. nbsp This year I went to the Nurburgring with my "quotd

Coming along nicely How thick are the bells on the AP racing rotors to get the BBS wheels to clear the calipers? I think AP normally add 15mm thickness on top of the stock disc's 7mm? Good to see they fit! Are the bronze rims Rota? They look pretty good, but not a fan of bronze though.

Re: Transporting seats - Will they fit?
Last Poster: Jons1001 in Mk5 General Area on September 13, 2024, 07:15:46 pm
With the back seats folded it will fit the 2 front seats and rear bench and backrest no problem. Bring some padding (cardboard) to stuff between and around to protect the seats and trims. I’ve got rubbing on the rear hatch panel from the seats moving against it.
