Re: Aluminium cap for drivers side wing mirror

Re: no power steering after turbo change
A simple suggestion from a simple man.
Check the fuse.
Check the oil.

Re: Explain why I shouldn't get this.
Because you will essentially pay nearly 600 bob for 7 feet of thin wall steel tube.
Do get it. Take some before and after videos and share. You might convince me to a similar one.

Re: Help- failed NCT emissions test twice
When the teat was done, was the engine up to full working temperature?
Others have been questioning the if the cars engine is cold when the test is done and this may influence the emissions.

Looking a other forums it looks like yes and no.
Since you have committed to it, you will surely find out next MOT.

Re: Spark Plugs - Gap and Parts Numbers
Indeed the gap is 0.8mm
There is a 3.5mm measurement on the webpage. Spark plug position, I'm not going to find out what it is.
Honestly I thought gapping it was more of a 2-stroke thing. Then again, I'm not a car mechanic.

Re: Adventures into the shiny side
I have been using CG Leather Cleaner/Conditioner on the leather seats for a few years. They don't look bad, alas there are signs of wear. Ripped threads in few places. Can't been seen unless you are head down, ass up looking at the underside of the seat. Is it the start of the end? Previously I have...

Re: timing chain tensioner query
Get it changed, for peace of mind. Don't not.
I see some places write lifetime, 100k mile, 150k miles. But if it hadn't been changed since new, it is coming up on 16years old.
It should not cost 900 pounds effing sterling, unless it includes and SF90 loaner car. Timing belt kit comes in around 20 bob.

Re: question from newbie
Welcome to the brood. An excellent choice of car; if I may say so. And I may. If the dampers are original, and one sheared off, you may want to have a closer look at the rest to. For my peace of mind, if not yours too. Should you buy original? Yes, you can. Yes, There are aftermarket ones. Can't ima...

Re: Adventures into the shiny side
The verdict: Good for interior, not so much for the outerior. Slathered it on the tires too. nah fam, it isn't doing it for me. The CarPro Perl on the Blue car's tires looks better two weeks in than the VRP two days in. Next up Gtechniq C4. Pricy to say the least, promises two years. I'm looking for...

option 1. Coz its not a diesel.
Drop the hammer and get a Scirocco.

Wow, not much love for the details during covid, and 6 months spent in BRD. Back to with Chemical Guys VRP. Looks great going on. The door rubber seals looks great. and the black rubber around the side windows too. We will see how it holds up to use and wash. Use the same on the tires, or any other ...

Re: Scirocco R value?
John my man. Did you sell? Can't find anything better than a R.
It can be modernized with a new head unit (Ainavi 13.1") and a Digital dash (not sure if it is for sale outside PRC), then is like a new car only better.
Cause it looks so so good. Not like a Golf. Nobody looks twice at a Golf.
