Guys I have a small pin hole in the middle of the red cap on the power steering reservoir....I've had some heavy steering issues recently, so topped up with ATF, but have noticed the fluid is escaping through this hole when the engine is running. It looks as if it supposed to be there, as it's unifo...

i have one of these - they are excellent, especially for the money.

i have owned the much more expensive versions, sold by Just Kampers, & reckon they're not half as good....

What engine?

Currently on stock 185/14s.

Dalester, drop us an e-mail if you have a problem. Unusual for them not to hold a bike rack up. Sounds like they maybe duff. If you bought them in the last 12 months we'll swap them. Simon at Brickwerks swapped these for me, & what a difference - no more smashing my head on the tailgate! Great ...

Would the 205s be a "more comfortable ride" i.e. more rubber in contact with the road?

What would be the real-world driving difference (i.e. response / feel / pick-up) on-road, between:

185 R14 stock

and

195/75/R14

and

205/70/14

....experiences appreciated.

i'll be getting some of these....I ordered the Brickwerks ones which are supposed to "take you chin off", but won't hold the tailgate with unloaded Fiamma rack.

Hi Guys Having had a "moment" in the Swiss Alps this weekend, I want to fit winter tyres - these boys seem pretty decent, based on reviews: Continental Winter Contact TS850 - http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/60712/continental-contiwintercontact-ts-850" onclick="windo...

I know that there aren't quite the restrictions in size on a Diesel as the battery tray/area does allow for a bigger battery than VW specified, I understand type 096 are very popular and easily meet/exceed what it is needed...note* type 096 are general 190mm tall by around 278mm long which is fine ...

Guys

Would this fit (dimensions) & be appropriate?

Hi

Have used the Search, but didn't come up with much....can anyone tell me if there are any garages, or people, that can do drive-in / drive-out 1.9TDI conversions (from a 1.6TD)?

i.e. source a suitable engine, carry out the work etc....

Thx

Hi Guys

Hi Guys

I have a 1.6TD JX - what is the likely belt set-up? I have absolutely no idea what the belt arrangement should look like - does anyone have a diagram pls?
