    4th Gear Being A Bellend

    If you get any joy from it let me know n I'll try it also. I've been told it could be the gear stick itself. I was told that it's caused by "Rally Syndrome" where shifting fast causes something to go out of place. That's what I was told anyway, True in a way cus I was overtaking an old cow in a...

    4th Gear Being A Bellend

    As the title says I'm having issues with 4th. The only way I can describe it is to say when I slot the gear stick into 4th there's no click/satisfaction/purchase if ye get what I mean. Which results in sometimes lifiting up the clutch and getting grinding as if I'm not in 4th on the other hand...

    Anyone Got These Alloys In Black?

    Does anyone have these painfully sore on the eyes alloys and has painted them black so I can get an idea if it's worth getting them powder coated black to save me from buying new alloys? Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk

    Need Idea's

    Thanks for the ideas! Gunna get a front lip and rear wing put on eventually. Possibly wrap the wing mirrors black and behind the regy. Should smarten it up. Unfortunately my alloys are the absolutely rank 17" 5 spokes. So new alloys will be on the agenda as well. Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk

    Need Idea's

    Does anyone have a silver FR or Cupra with pictures that's done any exterior mods or anything cosmetic like wrapping or paint to the exterior to improve the looks. When I got mine back in April I went from a white FR mk2 to a silver FR mk3, I knocked back a white FR mk3 for the silver and its...

    New Mk3 FR

    Had a Mk2 FR for two years and it was superb but as values go down I got an opportunity for a 15 Plate Mk3 FR 184 and its a belter for the money. As I get used to the mk3 I'm on the look for a rear spoiler and if anyone has vinyl wrapped or painted the front panel behind the regy and the bottom...

    Suspension

    Just back from a drive, Round a corner earlier at 40 ish not a sharp corner and then it felt like I had a puncture so pulled over no puncture, drive home and it strange the whole way, could be in my head. Checked my suspension. Passengers side shock/spring arm goes from the hub straight up to...

    Timing Belt Kit or Belt???

    2.0 tdi FR+ 170ps is my car. The belt I was getting was made by continental for £50 and the kit from continental for my car was £168 Although the first garage I phoned quoted £449 for belt change and waterpump. I'll be keeping the car probably another 2 years so worthwhile getting top of the...

    Timing Belt Kit or Belt???

    Afternoon! Going to get my car a new belt fitted, However I've been told that I may only need the belt? For those of you who have had this done did you guys just get the belt changed or did the change the pully wheels as well? Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

    Bluetooth module

    Its usually under the drivers seat, However I have an RNS 510 in my 12 plate FR and the module is not there. My guess is in the head unit, most headunits have it built in these days. With mine being a 12 plate FR+ being the last update in the Mk2 Range I'd expect it to be built in. For older...

    Timing Belt Change

    Haha Arnold Shark, I'll be using that from now on. I've used them cos I've got the "free service mot package" they tried to tell me my 4 month old Uniroyal rainsports were 95% worn at the front, ye can still see the yellow and green lines that come on them brand new. Also said my exhaust...

    Timing Belt Change

    Seen a few posts on here saying 60k or 4 years is when you change the timing belt, That being said I went through my manual and it says to change Timing Belt at 130k for CR TDI engines. I'm at 75ks just now Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

    Coil Spring and Exhaust Bracket

    I had asked my brother in law to do it seen as he's a mechanic and got a swift F off haha, so it must be a pain to fit. If I had the gear I'd try it myself, Gotta learn somehow Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
