    My 1st alhambra

    Long story short I bought a non running 2007 plate alhambra tdi with the 2L tdi lump. It had the low oil pressure problem due to a worn key. Anyway I managed to find a good company called kmb parts, after a bit of googling it seemed they were the place to go to. I bought the replacement shaft...

    No way! Yes way!

    just been checking out this one, a tdi passat with an AHU bottom end, manual pump, big turbo and nozzles and it's hitting near enough 150mph! That's pretty dam quick for a tdi if I don't mind me saying so myself. :D http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=354947

    Strut top bush noise?

    Has anyone had a knackered strut top bush on the front of one of these cars? If so what does it sound like? Anything like a bottom ball joint? I've been getting a bit of a knocking noise over bumps and I haven't been able to pin point it yet. I've done all the wishbone bushes, bottom ball...

    Autel Vag405 review

    Just thought I'd give a brief review of the autel vag 405 scanner. It's been really good, I've read and cleared codes on vag cars from 97-2008 so far, I've cleared airbag faults too, it also does abs etc. Here's some pics of the display. And here's the sort of reading you get with a...

    Looks like I'm getting another cordy

    I have the chance to keep my neighbours cordy vario, it's the same as mine but in better nick. Just swap over the suspension, wheels, injectors etc then sell mine instead. I've got little rust spots popping up all over the place so I'm very tempted. The only difference is that hers is red and...

    Strange starting issue

The fuel filter is fairly new, the air filter also and the car drives fine otherwise. The revs sit around the 1000 rpm...

    Subframe question

    I had to drop my subframe to deal with my steering rack but I've noticed there's a reasonable amount of movement possible with the bolts loose, does anyone know if it's enough to cause an issue with the camber etc and if so how do you get it centralised?:think:

    My steering rack's a ****

    Bloody rack, I've been at it for ages trying to get it off the car, one friggin pipe union is all that's stopping me now. The return line went into a steel insert so it was fine but the high pressure line goes straight into the poxy alloy housing and is a complete twat! You can't get the rack...

    Seat cloth covering

    Well I was thinking of puting these in my cordy but is it possible to get the backseat retrimmed to match? Don't worry about the marks it's because they're sort of velvety and it's just the way the material's siting. This is all I have left of my Mk1 MR2.:)
