Cheers mate, have you replaced it? If so, did you just get oem or aftermarket?

what is?

Hi, One of my intercooler pipes is getting ready for replacing (FR+) and wondered if anyone could help with a part number? If you are looking at the front of the car it is the lower left pipe (behind the drivers side foglight). Had a look at some online catalogs but the diagram shows a...

Cheers fellas, will try topping up first but for the price I might just get an ezibleed anyway!

Just had a new clutch and flywheel fitted and noticed the fluid needs topping up. I was thinking of having a go myself with one of the ezibleed gizmos. Just wanted to make sure I get the right bleed point. Is it the one just to the left of the battery? Plus has anyone any tips for using one?

Clunking under braking is not something I can say i've noticed, so i'd have to say no. What are you thinking? I haven't driven it in nearly 2 weeks as it is now just about undriveable and I don't want to push my luck (just trying to scrape the pennies together)

when it first started feeling dodgy, it was awkward to get into gears now and again but not all the time. All of a sudden the biting point was very very low down and would engage with the pedal pushed flat to the floor and it was difficult to change gear. It was like this for weeks, then all of...

Yep, more noticeable when putting in first and moving from standstill.

I have a SPEC Clutch and Flywheel in it that are just about dead so need replacing asap. I suppose the main reason is cost. It's cheaper to go the standard route than it is to go the uprated one. It's also cheaper for the stealers to flash it to standard than to get a tuner to put one on...

I'm toying with the idea of putting the car back to standard (mk1 FR tdi) as it currently has just a stage 1 upsolute remap. I contacted my local dealers and asked them about reflashing the ecu back to the factory map to be told it might not work? How's that work? I would have thought a...

this place saves my neck yet again....takes longer to get the dash off than to change the sensor!

as said in my earlier post mate, Turbo Dynamics do brand new units for £550, and they source them straight from Garrett (including all gaskets).

it's shafted! A bit baffled as to how it went so quickly though. New turbo now fitted. £550 from Turbo Dynamics for a brand new unit, and can't recommend them highly enough. Excellent service. You actually pay £650, but they refund you £100 when you send them your knackered turbo in exchange.

mines just gone :( remapped 150pd, got the whining noise yesterday then on my way home from work today lost all boost (not getting ANY) and whines like mad, although i have noticed that my oil levels are ok... ...getting it looked at in an hour or two

thanks for the input @spud: to be honest, I don't know which box is on it...assuming it's an 02m after a quick butchers at ETKA @Rodie, thanks for the info man, much appreciated

I have a 55 fr tdi 150, remapped and SPEC stg 2 clutch and SMF. Lately as i'm slowing and gear from 5th to 4th, it won't willingly go into 4th (although it will if I force it, but I try not to do that), but WILL gear up from 3rd to 4th no problem. Hopefully it's not a shot gearbox, but I...

no mate

My front drivers door (mk1 fr tdi) will unlock with both the remote and key, but will lock and arm the alarm after the normal 20 seconds or so even if the door is open... I believe this is down to dodgy solders inside the door lock actuator, and because this is outside of my technical ability...
