    Got my ABT V1s back and picked up some 205/40/18s today for some other wheels iv had laying around.
    Not sure which set I want to proceed with first.

    Someone gave the bora a bit a of a tap in the front, was one of 4 cars I was parked behind on thursday at school or work (2 of which were VWs) so will be sussing them out when I see them again.
    lucky my number plate and holder seemed to take most of it, bit of a scuff above the plate and below the grill but think its just clear coat damage. spewing I didn't see it til the next day though

    I decided to investigate a knocking sound that I've had recently coming from the front left corner. Discovered my end link was missing the bolt that connects to the control arm. I tried a few different bolts that were threading fine but they just wouldn't get tight, does this need a special kind of bolt or anything?

    The bolt I'm talking about for reference.

    you should be able to get a standard bolt to suit (size wise) but a oem one would be idea.
    interesting you have metal end links, I thought that was a later model thing. unless someone replaced yours at some stage

    What broken plastic t-pieces?



    Bought these from Enzed today for a pretty penny to replace the dried out old plastic t-pieces in my cooling system. They are stainless steel so quite light.
    Started working to fit these up. Going well. I'm using aftermarket heater hoses that I'm cutting to size so the hose locations are getting rearranged. Some of the hoses touch each other a tiny bit and one touches the 'combi valve' hose so I'm going to have to fit some heat shielding to protect the plastic hose. Going to replace the front radiator hoses as well and hopefully will never have to worry about a coolant leak from ****ty old hoses again!

    Also took off the doors to fit up my new speakers. To my surprise the door is nicely sealed and the speakers well seated. Nice one VAG.
    Should I bother with making MDF door pods?

    If you're having issues replacing that bolt, just take the one from the other side out and visit a bolt shop. They'll be able to get you two bolts to the same specs no worries.

    The thread is probably damaged due to the stresses as the bolt got further and further out.
    Same thing happened to me a while ago, I had to get a helicoil inserted.
