There is info on this, it's covered in the rules thread (Although I probably haven't read many rules threads myself :P ). PM me to confirm and I'll do the deed.

Amazing how many times I find links to old threads of me having done something to an old car while using google. Or even just links back to this place in general to find someone has posted a write...
Yep.
My insurance is currently split between Shannons for my car on a low use deal that I just can't get anywhere else.
My wife car is on a lease and still on the lease company's insurance,...
Any reason Bridgestone aren't on the list?
I just repalced a set of OEM Toyo tyres on my Wifes CX-8 (225/55R19) earlier this year with a new set of Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 001. The Toyo's still...
We had a similar issue in the T5.1 but it was far less involved to get that bit out. I ended up rebuilding it using parts from a second lock mechanism and while I don't think the steering lock ever...
This makes life easy and neat, hard wire things in that don't move and hide the wires.
The 118TSI is a bloody awesome motor... until it's not, especially the CAVD. They all fail and crack pistons, lose compression and need to be rebuilt or replaced and sadly they are getting old and...
Pretty much exactly what I was going to say, so yeah, that!
I've been using Volkwerke in Doncaster for as long as I've been in Melbourne and have always found them knowledgeable and upfront with...
Welcome aboard! There is alot to like about the Tiguans, hope we can help with the fun :)
I was digging around over the weekend and as best I understand things:
Firehawk Indy 500 = RE003
Firehawk Sport 01 = RE002
(with maybe some compound changes as well? :???: )
In any case,...
I'm currently on RE003's and while they have been excellent and well-priced, the Firehawks are cheaper and look to be very similar.... and they say Hawk on them :P
Has anyone used the Firehawks to...
I'll have to add that to my watch list. I always thought the Up! needed a Turbo, it is just a little underwhelming... although I suppose I'm not the target audience :P
Slots, chisels and impact drivers are your friends. At least these are visible! Inevitably it's the ones upside down and under some dash wiring that seem to be stripped for me :P
In VCDS and on my PolarFIS there are two counters:
* misfires per 1,000 revolutions, which is live and tells you what is happening now.
* Total misfires, which is as the name suggests, the total...
A short five years later and I've finally gotten around to this little project :)
A trip to a couple of U Pick wrecking yards and many many Golfs later I managed to find exactly ONE vent hose...
A sad day indeed. A wagon was on my list for the next replacement as the kids get bigger and move out (or at least don't travel with us :P ).
I do wonder what it costs to have a model compliance...
Welcome aboard :)
wait... your saying the wing mirror dimms like the rearview mirror?? I didn't know that was a thing! That's awesome!
I like the idea of electric and all the possibilities it brings, just still not really cost-effective and I still see it as more of a second car... although in saying that I think I would drive the...
Welcome aboard :)
My Wifes car has this and it's saved me one time from a dangerous bush I was backing towards. The tech is great up until it gets in the way. In our case it's very very rarely been an issue, but I...
Effectively a black ice warning, handy when you drive into a cold place you didn't realise was quite so cold, but I can understand it getting annoying... I may or may have not disabled warnings in...
I bought these chains for use with the Multivan years ago and never used them. Carried them a bunch of times, but never actually needed to use them.

It's a tough one, these cars are getting on in years and goodwill is less and less likely/common, even more so when you're not the original owner.
I'd like to think that a compression test (and...
I've been having a dig through my archives and only seem to have the Australian version of the firmware, Kamold may have some of the others floating around so I'll wait for him to chime in.
