Dubber I would greatly appreciate knowing where you got you new compressor from...
Thanks again guys
hi folks
I would appreciate some insight into an air con issue I have. I noticed it was slow to go cool - like 5 - 10 minutes after which it was OK but not icy.
My service guy says the compressor...
Hi all
I'd appreciate advice/comment on an air conditioning problem I have.
My 2008 Pacific TDI 2.0 has 160 K km on the clock. My air con seemed to be performing poorly. My mechanic, a good German...
I upgraded my Mk1 Brakes by installing Cabriole calipers and rotors. Had to machine the rotors down by 16mm overall. After that I still had doughy sorta brakes that weren't so bad, but still short...

Distance travelled = 1000km and @ average 60kph that is about 17 hours of driving (16.7). I have to guess, but...
I recently put new vented rotors, calipers etc onto my Mk1 GLD. This was not quite a bolt-on job, but in the end got it all fitted. I have also replaced the master cylinder and the rear slaves. My...
My Mk1 1500cc unmodified consistently runs 4.8 litres/100, 90% highway running , and speeds between 80 & 90 kph. It just seems happy around that speed range. I did change my brakes over to vented ...
