Oh right sorry, didn't realize the btcc was so different! We don't get them here :-/

You need to remove the foglight surround grille. On my LC there is one screw at the bottom, inside corner of the grille. Yours may differ. Then, there are three torx screws holding the foglight assembly into the bumper - and one screw that adjusts the foglight beam's height. Don't mess with that...

As far as I know, 507.00 calls for full synth, so yes.

Hehhe no it doesn't come in there. The guy with the golf cabrio had a bad time tho! Another pic

Make sure it's VW 507.00 spec. I always used castrol edge.

Skid pan gymkhana :-D

I'm very lucky, it was covered by the warranty ;) It has happened to a couple of cars I know of.

Sounds like either tie rod or steering rack. I had a similar noise in my LC. Replaced shocks, bushes, drop links, the works... then they worked on the tie rod and noticed it had excessive play in the rack. New rack = blissful silence. I think you can test for this by wiggling the steering wheel...

I adjusted mine manually when I got the car 2 years and 20k miles ago. They have not changed since then.

I'd hope he does, else he has a lot of money to waste on useless crap ;)

Airbags. So you can have the super slammed look for shows etc, then pump em up to drive the car without scraping over paint lines and coins in the road.

The golf platforms all create an issue on the rear tyres called "sawtooth wear". This is especially prevalent on tyres with a squareish tread block. There is no way to fix this, other than to rotate your tyres front to back with annoying regularity. Basically what happens is the leading edge of...

Not strictly true. Revs A and B had older hardware (smaller hard drives, slower processors, LCD displays). Rev C has 40GB and LED - so anything above C is what I'd go for. Beware - ANY A,B or C unit upgraded to newer firmware will show itself as a rev D. Use VagCom to check the real version...

Called "Speednuts"... you can use any old self tapping screw with them.

It is also possible for a slightly bent/chipped impeller blade to make this noise.

Hankook ventus v12 evo

Hmm. Ok but it seems to be very badly insulated from the stack. My IATs directly correlate to radiator temperature ...

This is south Africa. No aircon is NOT an option ;)

No it doesn't? Isn't it sandwiched between the radiator and the aircon condensor? Mine has a crappy Golf 5 GTI intercooler. Even the Audi S3 intercooler is a worthwhile upgrade. The IC FMIC is HUGE in comparison, isn't it? My IATs at the end of a 1km run are something like 30 degrees above...

Almost zero.
