  1. Any links /help on trying to find those mate much appreciated. cheers
  2. Simply put craggsy thanks. Is that all i will need I was thinking 10mm. If I use a spacer then will the wheel not be centarlised in the hub ie stick out further than the hub.
  3. I know these are probably no good but I will get full face pics on tommorrow
  4. wheel nerd again !!! yeah but right again !! originally were 4x100 et35 - so I presume you are running adaptors ? They have the same stud pattern for the MK3 highline and fit ok that way but I think its just the offset thats different so will spacers do the job?
  5. Hi all I have a set of genuine vw estoril alloys that I want to put on my 97 Highline but they are a different offset size and the fronts won't turn as they are hitting the caliper. The new alloys are 6J 15" ET35 with 205/50/15 tyres I am not sure what offset the original highline alloys are but can anybody advise on what I need to get these to fit safely cheers all Graham
  6. Marc maybe stupid questions but Is the red arrow the center cap you mention? Where is the seal the yellow or blue arrow in the picture? Where does cooler attach to the engine in the picture And from this picture is it the seal thats failed or do Ineeda new cooler cheers
  7. Thanks Marc looks like this will be my next car DIY job
  8. Well , managed to get it out WITHOUT REMOVING CALIPER/DISC. Heres how!!!!! The old one broke off with the pick up sensor still stuck in the hub when trying to get it out Shown a torch in to see the pick up sensor and lined up one of the wheel bolt holes Out she came see the difference between old and new -no wonder they go faulty The new one that I got from this guy on feebay was a bit tight going in so I cleaned up the old hole a bit and eventually it went in and bolted in http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190263016605&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_
  9. Hi all This may be a dumb question but does anybody have a link or a guide on how to remove the VR6 rear discs/calipers as I need to get to the ABS sensor. Something with pictures would be ideal but I can't seem to find anything to help a novice such as me on this forum or on t'internet cheers
  10. I am going to look in the next couple of days Im guesing under the rear seat is where I will look first. My sensor broke off stuck in the back of the disc cover so I am going to have to remove the disc/caliper to get to it when I have some time of work so watch what you are doing with yours. Do you have to get a new sensor and if so where are you getting it from.
  11. thanks craggsy I take it comes as a fixed unit with a length of cable and connecor which I am guessing connects into a plug under the rear seat somewhere?
  12. thanks for the info buddy How do I know that one is the correct one for the 97 VR6 as there is not a lot more info?
  13. thanks Any chance of a link mate? Does £84 from VW seem steep to you?
  14. Hi looking for a rear ABS sensor (which i guess includes the) cable for a 1997 VR6 Highline. My local VW parts quoted £86 which to me doesn't seem right. Can anybody point me in the right direction for a place that does it cheaper Cheers Graham
  15. I Have the ABS warning light on and VAG COM reveals rear left intermittent fault.So removed small bolt for fixing the sensor then tried to get it off but guess what I broke the bloddy thing off leaving what I guess is some kind of magnetic switch still stuck in which I can't get out. How do I get it out? I guess caliper/pads/disc comes off but then what? Will I be able to poke it out after that? Hope someone can advise me in the season of goodwill and all that merry xmas Graham
  16. thanks for the reply cabrioman how much do i need to get to fill the system back up roughly and do i add water to to the g12 pink stuff or just put it in straight from the bottle cheers
