Re: poor runnung when hot

Thanks for the advice. I didn't think to mention that the lambda sensor has been removed and a stainless exhaust fitted. I dont think this is related to my problem as this was done last may and no problems up until now. Sorry about that, Cheers Steve

Had the same dilema myself. After months off asking loads off questions on various websites and speaking to loads and loads off wheel suppliers i finally came to the conclusion that genuine t25 alloys were the only real safe option.

I have read everypart off that, Thanks for the link. This still hasn't convinced me that they are o.k. If the rears don't need to be longer then why do the fronts. It doesn't make sense. I am going to go with longer studs for my own peice off mind. I am sure mr baxter knows what he is talking about ...

I explained to the tyre fitter that i had concerns about the length off the rear studs. I supplied genuine vw front studs that i got with the wheels...

gearbox oil leak

I have a leak on my gearbox, I beleive it to be from the seals around the driveshafts, Is it just a matter off removing the drive shaft and replacing the seal or is that wishful thinking. Does anybody know if these seals are still available from vw. Cheers in advance Steve
