Re: Home made VW centre caps for Merc steels

All in about £35/£40, the caddy caps were from a breakers, hole saw, sealant and glue were lying round the workshop so the only big cost were the golf caps which were off ebay.

By 'standard wheels', do you mean vw steels?

Re: Home made VW centre caps for Merc steels

I've tried the caps on standard wheels and they fit the rears but the fronts would need spacers, it's fine on mine as I've got a different brake/hub set up on the front.

Re: Home made VW centre caps for Merc steels

I bought the steels as is, I think the previous owner must have removed them quite quickly and replaced them with alloys. I'm fortunate that my younger brother lives in Germany and speaks it very well so when he's got the time he looks out for parts for me. I've not tried them against a standard ste...

Home made VW centre caps for Merc steels

I thought I'd share this if it's of interest to anyone with Merc steels fitted. I've been looking for centre caps for my steels and made up these using 321601171A Mk1 Golf centre cap and 2K0601169 2003-onwards Caddy centre cap. All you need is a drill bit for a pilot hole, 76mm hole saw, black silic...

Re: Spare wheel cover

Rob,

When did you buy your wheels cover. I've tried getting a 16" one and was told it was NLA, would really like to get hold of one.

Re: Ignition/starting fault on SA - one for the experts

Ian,

I've got a complete loom out of a 10v Audi Ur quattro if you need bits I can send it up to you, also sure I've got an ISV round here somewhere, I'll have a look when I get home.

Audi 200 turbo engine, I expect most of the electrical bits I've got would be no good as my bits are for a MB code 10v. You can always cross reference them on ETKA and find out what models share parts. Once my 10v is sold I won't have much use for the parts I've got.

Wow should be good, really want to keep the heat down in the engine bay as that saps performance, it's bad enough in my Urs and the engine's are in the front of them. I was thinking of stuffing either a 136bhp n/a 10v or a 170bhp n/a 20v in my doka. What engine code is the turbo motor cos I've got a...
