Re: Car will not start
I had exactly the same symptoms for nearly 2yrs and tried a trickle charger, then a new battery, then new relays before finally biting the bullet and having a new starter motor fitted. It would always play up after its been idle for more than 24hrs. It drove me mad and whoever I asked to sort it [em...

Cockpit trim
Do any members have any ideas on how to fix damaged trims etc ? My centre console trim particularly bothers me ! I doubt replacements are available.

Re: Gearbox notchy?
Mine is much the same into 1st gear especially from very cold. I sometimes go into 2nd then 1st which can seem a bit smoother but maybe it's in my head.

Non starting from cold resolved.
I am very pleased to share with you all that after much dilly dallying around I decided to change the starter motor. I took out a 3yr warranty when I bought the car so why not ! So far 3 very chilly mornings and the beast starts with no hesitation. Why did I wait so long I hear you say. Well I chang...

Re: I would like ears on a Milltek….
I've had a flap delete and no remap ! I've not noticed anything untoward. MRC have a reputation of being the best but what comes with that is a huge bill which is usually higher than the quotation. Do what I did and find a VAG trained mechanic who is legit. At the end of the day our cars are not sup...

Re: ADVICE PLEASE, AND WHAT A SHOCKER AT MRC
[emoji15] outrageous. Was it that bad to start with ? MRC are obviously taking advantage of there reputation with our cars but is your car worth £10k more now than it was before you took it to them ??? I doubt it.

Re: Which Front Discs
I replaced both front & back on mine last month.
Brembo on the front and Pagid on the rear. I also needed some new caliper bolts. I paid £1300 in total. I also had the rear calipers sent away and totally refurbished for £250.
