You haven'#039t said where you'#039re based. These guys in Birmingham are about as cheap as it gets: https://www.citywheelrefurbishment.co.uk/Prices start from £30 a wheel, that'#039s powder coat finish. See their website for all the options. I used them on my Subaru, the wheels were very poor. They did an ok job, not perfect but I can'#039t complain at that p

Recently bought my first MK5 GTI (06) as my first daily performance car. Ownership currenlty has been great until finding out I can'#039t buy a metal valve stem, from VW (or anywhere in the UK), for my wheels leaving me with a flat.
Looking at forums i think my wheels are monza I (17"quot with a lip around the valve). I believe the part I'#039m looking for is '#0391K0 601 361 B'#039 or

As mentioned the main stat should be changed. nbsp With the alternator out and undertray out.........some patience, jigging, unplugging and time, it can be done on the drive for the cost of parts.
Remember to order the O-ring for a pipe seal, as it is not included and do not want to have leaks after all the faff of fitting it.....red arrow
Good guide here:

Hey Andy, I bought an AliExpress one 4 years ago and it'#039s still doing fine. I fitted a NoName Mk6 headunit with carplay and it went straight into the factory input for a camera. I can'#039t recall if my RNS310 that got removed had one or not but the 510 might? Or you might need a interface box to make that happen, and then also VCDS to code it in. I did have to '#039finesse'#039 part of th

Hi guys, just checked a car a little bit and found some oil on the top of the tranny. I was in here a couple of months ago changing the shift lever for a ed30 one and it was dry. I’m sure there are two seals between the trans and the shift linkage. However it looks kind of crystallised which is confusing me a bit. Here are some pics [img
