Re: Mark/ Scratch on Pearl Black

Nothing wrong with using T-cut on pearl black it works perfect just don't let it dry out buff it off quickly then use some polish to bring back the finish.

Re: An unscientific survey – Any Scirocco breakdowns

300 miles and one week old, the engine went due to a faulty oil seal in the turbo.

Squeaky window seals

The window seals have been driving me nuts lately every time the windows drop when unlocking the car they give this squeak I happened to mention it to a mate who said his new 3 series BMW had a squeaky door seal and his dealer told him about a BMW product called "Gummi pflege" he bought so...

Re: glass cleaning ARGGGGGH !

I've used this stuff for years - http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/auto ... olish.aspx - its brilliant, in the summer months it rips splattered flies from the windscreen effortlessly and leaves a good shine on the glass.

Just don't use it in strong sun... :cry:

Re: Over heating 170 TDI

My 140 TDI has done this a couple of times but only when it was new...I was taking it easy with it so I could imagine all the build up of soot in the DPF caused this to happen, but now using all the rev's it's never happened again. Over the years I've had diesels I've found it does them no harm at a...
