I loved Taobao when I was living in Shanghai, but was well aware many of the sellers refused to ship to the UK.

Yeah, they deliver everywhere -as far as I know- and you can ask them for quote. I can ask them for you too if you want.

Installed the rear view camera today but I think there is something wrong!

This the RVC I have:

Sometime the view is color and sometimes in black!

Anybody knows why?!
Thx

Removed the coding and recode it again, then restarted the RNS, did the ignition cycle (off then on), and the color view back.

I will give it the try for today and let's hope it will work!

Stay tuned, more is coming [emoji6]

I bought the Savannah Silver Diamond wheels, it's used set but it is in perfect condition. Pics looks not good because wheels need some shower, I am gonna use it in my Rocco after the engine and big turbo swapping.

I am thinking of painting the inside with gloss black and keeping the cut of the diamond silver as it is!

Absolutely love savannah's, great choice. I'd say they've gotta go black with the silver diamond cut front i totally agree

I like it so much, while my concern is still their weight, they are heavy but let's see.

I was confused about oil cooler mounting position, as I found this info on the internet!

so I contacted Mishimoto support in order to cut it short, and they replied:

I was still confused, so I asked again apart from the upside down which position is better!

And here is the last reply

The upside down is the best choice for my Rocco because the front space behind the bumper is very tight, but I have to be convinced to mount it like that.

Well like he's saying verticle is always going to be best, as gravity helps the flow- the oil doesn't have to be pushed in as hard to be drawn out as the capillary action will aid this.

Upside down would always be worse, you would need really good oil pressure to force the oil into the cooler, the right way up is a medium as yes you still need good pressure to maintain flow but not as much, however with the output being uphill I would assume your likely to have collection spots in the bottom corner nearest the output .

I fitted now vertically on my MKV, I open a hole in the front defender and installed it.
The main point that I don't want to the same in the Rocco unless I have no choice. But, as I am building a daily race car so I will go for the best at the end!

Technane · Post by **Technane** » Wed Feb 22, 2017 9:36 am

Just wondering if vertically it would get enough air, so horizontal probably the only way just not upside down.

Mostic · Post by **Mostic** » Wed Feb 22, 2017 9:54 am

You are right, that's why I am resting in the MKV before I moved all the system to the Rocco.
I had it mounted horizontally for 2 years without any issues but let's see how the vertical will be.

Hi Guys,
I have the some issue and doubts regarding my xenon bulbs!

I had the "Phillips XenStart" (OEM bulbs) then I replaced by the "OSRAM Xenarc Night Breaker Unlimited" which is the one installed now, but I still have problems with vision, while the headlights are new from the factory!
Maybe the color of the OSRAM Night Breaker is. It good for me or what, I don't know but I think that I will replace it.

Now I found the below and I don't know which is the best [emoji848]

Philips Xenon X-treme Vision gen2

Philips Xenon WhiteVision gen2

And does it matter the 5000k or 4300k or whatever in the brightness level?

Thanks

I was looking for hatch pop for my Rocco, I have ECS one installed on my MKV and it is really amazing.
I found two kits, one for MK6 and one for MK7 and I don't know which one will fit or fit better for the Rocco.

ECS Kits
