    Does anyone know how hard it is to fit a new auxillary belt on the left hand side of the engine? Mine's slightly cracked and I realise the belt prob won't be many £££'s from my local dealer. Bought an engine manual off ebay a while back which suggests the engine needs removing partly to get to it all... Has anyone managed to do one themselves? Also have Golf Vr6's got heated washers? Noticed two wires goin to each of the jets on the bonnet on mine the other day... Got an original 96' model sales brochure but that doesn't mention it... Cheers Rob

    I like em a lot. My mate has just sold his VX220 and was gonna get one... Until my sis got a Cooper S. Now he thinks they are too girly so he's gonna get an old bug! I'd have one. (h)

    If it isn't the seat.... Mine's been creaking/squeaking for nearly a year now. I was sure it was coming from behind the b-post finisher and had it all off at the weekend. Only to find it was the door slam pin. The plastic collar on it was squeaking and must have been using the car interior as a sound box! Put a dab of motorbike chainlube on it and went for a drive... Ahhhh silence. For now...

    Think my speedo is definately out now... Since i put 17's on the golf i've had a feeling the speedo's been under-reading. Tested it against my girlfriend's 53reg punto a while back and at 70 on her speedo mine was reading about 65. Went to the Dub Preservation meet near york last thurs night and had a play on the way back with my mates mk2 G60. Flat out on the way home i managed to crawl past him with my speedo showing just under 150. When we got back he said his was reading just under 245kmh which works out over 150 when i passed him. The G60 is running std diameter BBS splits 15" so i'm pret

    Fastest i've got is a 5.31 in the Bentley. 5.33 is a fast time mate what was that in? Tried again the other day in the F1 car but it won't stay on the road!

    It seems to be coming from behind the passenger b post finisher (where the adjustable seat belt height is) and its definately some plastic on plastic rubbing. Sometimes (usually when its really warm weather) its really quiet or not there at all, most of the time its well loud and drives me mad. Does anyone know the easiest way of removibng the b post finisher without damaging it...? 8o|

    They're definately splits and 16" i think they must be rx2's. Need to get them re-furbed and either sell or keep them. Paid (dare I say it) £10 for them!!! I sold him some chavvy stuff on ebay (205 gti bits) and it went for a lot lot more than he thought it would... So with a bit of discount we ended up at £10! He paid £50 for them 6 months ago just for the tyres... Found this one on ebay, the ones I have are exactly the same but 5 stud not 4. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a322/rlstephenson/bbsrim.jpg Cheers for your help guys Rob

    Hi all, Just picked up a set of BBS Splits off a chav mate on the cheap (he's into cosworths... Yawn) and am wodering if anyone can identify them for me. Another mate has a set on his VR6 Turbo and i'm pretty sure they are standard fit wheels from some year...? They look just like this: http://www.larssonmotors.com/bbs/RX_2.jpg But i'm sure the bolts are right next to the ends of the spokes on the ones i've got. They're 5 x 100. Are they BBS RX's ? Any help would be much appreciated Rob

    Has the light come on at all (and stayed on). My ABS system has been going mental as of late in a very random fashion and i've traced it back to the drivers front sensor wire. The retaining clip has snapped off the strut and its been rubbing on the insode of the wheel, wearing through the outer sheathing... I'm guessing its either shorting across the twin core or its breaking the connection now and then. Either way its behaving very odd. It was trying to kick in whilst I was driving the other day with no brake applied at all. Then it got bored and disabled itself and put the light on on the da

    My ABS light comes on every time it rains when i'm driving!! I'm guessing its just a rogue sensor I need to take off and clean. Anyone know any different? Also my owners manual and sales brochure reckon my 1996 VR6 should have traction control as standard but it will light the tyres up whenever you want for as long as you let it!! Any help would be greatly appreciated... Rob

    Cheers guys, managed to fit it last night same place as ninja said. Seemed to be a snug fit in the gap behind the light unit and have got away with velcro to fix it in so i can still move it to get to the back of the light to change bulbs etc... Its such a joy routing the 3 cables through the car unseen!! I can't believe how much better the stereo sounds playing CD's either!
