Thanks,

I’ve taken the aux belt off, unfortunately the numbers are so worn it’s unreadable. I’ll pop into my local friendly autofactors and have a chat. I’m pretty sure the guy I bought it off said it was from a golf, but he said a lot of stuff… [emoji1781]

I have a 1900 1y conversion in my van and want to do a belt change on it. Unfortunately I don’t know the source of the engine. I’m looking at serial combi at the t4 1900 belts and they have 1991-1994 & 1994-2003. Is there a way of easily identifying which engine I have to ensure I’m buying the r...

So when I depress my brake pedal my oil light flashes on when I release it. Any suggestions on that?

Insurance is a scam. You will never be “better off” from a payout thrugh them. Bite the bullet, big boy pants on and get it repaired from your own pocket.

All sorted now.
