Re: Slow cranking/ engine didn’t turn over the first time

When I replaced mine I went for the Bosch S5 096 and have no complaints.

Please see link here. This is what happened t...

Slow cranking/ engine didn’t turn over the first time

My engine didn’t turn over (slow cranking) the first time after we had a 2 hours break at Bath (drove from London). I tried again after 10 second and this time I tapped the accelerator during cranking and the car started. Drove fine all the way to Bristol and stopped for dinner. After that, we had a...

Re: My viper green scirocco

Mint! What rear brakes are they? Did you have to change your master Cylinder? The rear brakes are the forge 330mm. I haven't changed the master cylinder, spoke to forge and they said the oem cylinder is more than good enough to handle the callipers. The brakes felt great when we went to the peak di...

Re: My viper green scirocco

I bought the spoiler in China when I was over last year. I think they are the same as the ones you can find on eBay. Luckily mine isn't as bad as some people have experienced. If you want it perfect get the genuine one! Anyways went for a drive at my favourite place and took some pictures :) https:/...

Re: My viper green scirocco

Thought I'd give the number plate housing a clean as it is covered with horrible winter dirt, only to find out there's condensation inside [emoji53] and the led bulbs got abit rusty too (even though they are still working). https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170214/edbbc307b3a28be6fa49b22656e4a71d.j...
