    Biggest Wax Test Ever

    At what point did the 476 fail? I have always used this because i found the 915 didn't last as long and black marks were more difficult to remove when washing than with the 476.

    MK4 Ibiza - What Alloy Wheels Fit Archive!

    Just to do what others have promised and show a picture of a Ibiza on 18's ;-) I don't think it looks too bad but I'm still concerned they will rub on the bumpy country lanes near me, hopefully will be swapping for some 17's over the weekend.

    MK4 Ibiza - What Alloy Wheels Fit Archive!

    Might look ok provided they are dished wheels which look smaller than the spoked variety otherwise they might look a little clumsy. I'm looking at some 18's at the moment but they have dish on them so should look ok. If not they will be on swapz for some 17's!

    Engine Cuts Out - FR Tdi

    Sounds to me like an intermittent electrical fault of some kind, possibly immobiliser or fuel cut off solenoid cutting fuel supply. Although you don't have any lights on the dash you will amost definately have some codes stored in the ECU which is the only way to properly diagnose the issue...

    Engine Mount Stretch Bolts - Part Numbers Please!

    Thanks for the link :-) Does anyone know which ones are stretch bolts? Presumably its the two horizontal ones which mount the mount to the cylinder head? I really need to get cracking on this belt change and any help is very much appreciated!

    Engine Mount Stretch Bolts - Part Numbers Please!

    Evening all :-) Just wondering if anyone can tell me the part numbers of the stretch bolts on the o/s engine mount are? I need to do the cambelt and have requested them from Sere Motors but they have sent me a really low resolution picture from the catalogue which i cannot see well enough...

    The MK4 audio thread!

    Bit of a hint to do with polarity. I bought the adapters that plug into factory connectors for my components. Mine sounds awesome with the kappa fronts running off the head unit and a reference 10" sub running off an alpine mono block. It's plenty loud enough for me anyway with a very neutral tone.

    Extreme condensation

    Aircon won't work when its below a certain temperature hence the condensation. Typically, winter is the time you need it to work to clear the windows. Sods law really :-(

    The MK4 audio thread!

    Does anyone know the polarity of the factory speaker wires on the fronts? To keep things neat; I'm planning on using the factory wiring and installing a sub but will be running the Kappa's on HPF to reduce the load on the headunit. I had a complicated setup when i had the T4 but want to keep it...

    The MK4 audio thread!

    A couple of questions before i rip out the front speakers in my car; Is there a factory crossover or is it resistor based like the cheap components? I don't want to manipulate the factory wiring too much in case i want to return it to stock again. Also, what type of adapter plug/harness do i...

    Alhambra is a re-badged Sharan as is the Galaxy not as stated because the Galaxy is nearly all VW parts including the engine :-)
