It could go either way with the ignition switch usually you don'#039t get anything happening, sometimes you might get a click or clunck from the starter because it'#039s got a poor connection it'#039s getting some power to the solenoid. I would say though that going off what your saying it doesn'#039t really sound like the ignition switch. It'#039s really one of those faults that could be many ma

Replaced the N75 as all valves start to wear, as part of my 20yr 100k miles preventative maintenance and it was quite an awkward position to get to.
Not sure it is me, but after a quick drive the car pulls harder and more positive now......hard to explain, but appears to be a worthwhile task. Original was a 2005 version D and now on version F.

I own a VW Golf V 1.9 GT Sport 2008 and have a small issue related to the right side parking light (passenger side).

Thank you, guys! Slowly recuperating :) - as there is no rush... Since I last wrote here, I paid a bit of attention to the other cars in the "quotfleet"quot - which got to be 6 up until a couple of months ago. I'#039ve let 2 go because I wasn'#039t really driving them - but the Golf was not one of them. nbsp This year I went to the Nurburgring with my "quotd

Coming along nicely How thick are the bells on the AP racing rotors to get the BBS wheels to clear the calipers? I think AP normally add 15mm thickness on top of the stock disc's 7mm? Good to see they fit! Are the bronze rims Rota? They look pretty good, but not a fan of bronze though.

Re: Transporting seats - Will they fit?
Last Poster: Jons1001 in Mk5 General Area on September 13, 2024, 07:15:46 pm
With the back seats folded it will fit the 2 front seats and rear bench and backrest no problem. Bring some padding (cardboard) to stuff between and around to protect the seats and trims. I’ve got rubbing on the rear hatch panel from the seats moving against it.
