Mk5 General Area / Dsg repairs - Milta Technology in Bristol?
« Last post by Lewo on May 29, 2024, 10:18:15 pm »Having spoken to Milta today, I'm still trying to decide on what to do with my car..
Options are ;
1. Thought about booking it in somewhere and have a 2nd hand dsg box fitted probably looking at around £1200 with labour & recovery costs and no guarantee that it's ok.
2. Take it to a gearbox specialist for them to fix the mechatronics and also replace the clutch packs & probably the flywheel given that car is on 140k. Thanks going to be around £2800 all in with recovery so not cheap.
3. Sell the car as is. Not what I really want to do tbh as I love it still after 7 years.
Has anyone else used Milta for dsg repairs? They seemed to know the score on the phone.
Thanks for any advice.

Mk5 General Area / Replacing Headlining
« Last post by Numero9 on May 28, 2024, 01:09:36 pm »Going to DIY it and found this material (https://www.harrisonstrimsupplies.co.uk/VW-GTI-Fabric-?PPCT=1629197820) which I really like but I am not sure if the 1.5mx3m will be large enough? Can't seem to find anything similar wider than 1.5m so if not will need to find an alternative if anybody has any recommendations for what they have used?
I also plan to use Trim-Fix high temp adhesive which I've used in the past with some success, again is this what people have used in the past?
