Great work. Looks slightly odd to see my old car in its new life, but all for the better. I bet it will actually stop now.
Re the brake light switch and wiring - the switch pre-dates my ownership,...
Looks awesome! The old dash really was knackered. I could never find a dash mat that would stay in place without having to add ugly velcro. The old radio was a bit warped as well, though I did kind...

60K Km service and timing belt / water pump. $$$$ but at least it's done now.
This is what my display said last Friday in Adelaide. I thought that was pretty hot ...

Hi,
As plenty of people will probably tell you, dealers aren't necessarily the best places for servicing. There's many independent VW workshops that can do the same work for less (and possibly...
But no: "price is correct and firm at $500,000.00"! "Buy it before it's exported to China." :banana:
Somewhat late, but in response to the OP, and for general info for people in Adelaide, I'd recommend AVW in Ashwin Pde Torrensville. Great, honest no BS people who know their stuff. Car repairs...
Excellent. Great to see it (him, sorry ;)) being loved and appreciated. Didn't know if it was on the road yet, but I guess it is. :cool:
Is that my old Mk1 I spy in this shot? Really, really looks like it. :banana: (stolen from a few posts above) Shoulda gotten off my backside and gone ... :facepalm:

Yep, what I was thinking - get it done anyway. Cheap insurance, yes, but still not that cheap going by one of the posts here. Plus I need a 60K km service as well and it all adds up $$ wise. It's a...
Thanks Neil and Peter,
I've had a bit of a look on some websites and among other things found Bridgestone Turanza ER300s at Bob Jane's for an advertised $169 each. The spiel for them make them...
I'm thinking about new tyres for my 2005 FSI Sportline. Standard specs are: 205/55/R16
Two questions:
What tyres were originally fitted?
What do people suggest / recommend for standard...
Blue Mk5 R32 with Euro plates, cnr Riversdale and Elgar Rds around 12:30 this arvo.
Thanks for the info. Just some side questions:
Do the same replacement intervals apply for non-GTI Mk5s?
Are there any symptoms of a worn timing belt or way of inspecting/investigating without...

Transferred to Vic rego, so new, standard plates. One step closer to becoming a Victorian. It's all down hill from here. :emo_baghead:
I've found Mk5 brakes to be pretty good. Saved my...

I can't top that. I took 900 pictures while overseas, but only a handful of cars. More interesting things to see. ;)
I know the 2nd one is an E-Type, but what's the first?
I also had a bad experience when ordering a part for my Mk1 last year. I was disappointed with their honesty (they told me several times the part was in the mail when it was actually still in the...
"Technically"? :)
While recently in the UK I spotted some (possibly) noteworthy cars, if anyone's interested.
VWs (and golfs in particular) are everywhere being about as common as Holdens are in Australia.
But...
Thanks Stu. That's how I understand it as well. It probably also helps crack down on dodgy mechanics who give out RWCs to cars that aren't passable.
Good to have the info for future reference....
Ok, so it turns out I don't need a RWC. D'Oh! :facepalm: Just as well I posted on here or I could have wasted my money.
Thanks for all the comments.
Cheers.
