I did post that we fitted a " hub spacer " call it what you want but hub is very different to stud spacers which as you pointed out are illegal .

Not sure what your pointing out ours was to keep the wheel centralised once fitted not a spacer behind the studs .

Yes that was on my older T5 under the car directly behind the wheel which goes off road first , ours got punctured leading to diesel spraying out onto the road causing the van to do a great version...

We fitted Holden Alloy wheels with the exact same stud pattern as the Van , when they fitted them they fitted a hub spacer to each wheel and they have been there for 12 years with no problems .PS...

Yours must be a more upgrade model VW which the part seems different to the ones in our vans .

The funny noise is referred to by those in the know as the "moo cow sound " ours which is single turbo makes that noise for around 8 years so nothing to worry about .

Maybe some sort of enameling process rather than just paint .

Geez and I thought I was the only one, glad to hear others are just as fallible.

Exactly right it was the early days of dash cameras and it smoked for a second or two which killed it .

Just don,t make the mistake I made years ago when I wanted a usb device in the dash area , I decided to remove the ciggy plug off the end of the cable and after hard wiring it realised that the plug...
