Do you have sunroof.

No sunroof mate. Trying to dry the floor out so I can run some water over the seals later, see if any leak.
Ideally I would remove the carpet but seems like a big job

Which side is the drain at? Have the passanger side scuttle off and it's clean and dry, no blocked holes etc

Pollen filter also bone dry

I've been noticing a smell of damp in the car lately, and also moisture inside the windscreen. Hoovered the passanger side footwell and noticed it was pretty moist. Lifted the carpet and the section below was soaked. Had a quick look around and can't see any obvious lines of leak, and the carpet abo...

Looks good mate. Question about the front bumper. Looks like you went for a Matt black, and did you paint the honeycomb on grill part? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks mate. The honeycomb grille is gloss black, and I haven't got round to doing the two fog lights blanks yet as I ran out of ...

Bit more progress this weekend Decided to paint the inserts on the grill and delete the fogs. Luckily found a guy on eBay selling the fog trims on eBay and picked them up at a nb price.. Also fitted some 12mm spacers. Car sits perfect now, maybe a little more needed at front but I'm happy! http://i1...

Such a fat Arse!! lol Yours looks like a clean model. What did you use to clean the engine bay? Also, you can try using some brasso on the exhaust tailpipes to make it shiney again. help to get rid of the black soot stains :yes: Got to love the rear end. I used some amdetails all purpose cleaner (A...

Also De-badge the rear With the help of a hair dryer some tooth floss! http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m503/cooz93/scirocco/DSC_0061_zpsnqitgtol.jpg And finally, cleaned the exhaust for possibly the first time ever http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m503/cooz93/scirocco/DSC_0086_zpsbrzwxc8s.jpg...

Thought I'd start a thread so I can keep track of my progress. Will be slow but should get there. Sold my rising blue 140 and made the impulse decision to get a 2.0 tsi. Picked the car up from Kent and drove her 570 miles home, to Aberdeen. Plans are/were H&R 35mm springs - rears done De-badge -...

Quality. Thanks for that!
Another job on the list:)

Think you are right on the climatronic blower mate. Should really have turned it off before posting.

Cheers

Beginning to notice a strange wine come from the passenger front glovebox/engine area. Happens when driving around at low revs, well that's when I can hear it. Sounds similar to a fuel pump on start up, but varies in sound level depending on engine speed. Any ideas? Currently 400 miles from home, so...

My wife bought mine for Christmas & all I had to do was go online with a code or something then I could put it on. Guessing the Mrs had done the rest when she bought it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You can do that if you have the most recent V5, but as I'll have to send the V5 away for th...

It's due in the post any day. Hopefully tomorrow mate

The story. Im picking up a car on Friday and have a private reg to put on it.. I've also just bought the plate so it's not on a car right now. The question is, what's the easiest and quickest way to get the plate on the car? I've searched through the dvla website but it's not very clear. From what I...

Needing to replace a rear brake bulb as I have one out, but can't figure out how to get the unit out! Find myself staring at two black nut type things on the rear of the cluster that I can only guess holds them in. But can't budge them, tried twisting, pushing etc but nothing. Can anyone tell me exa...
