    It’s fair to say bodywork is not a natural talent of mine, still it’s more done in 1 day than the the last 6 years [emoji51]

    Finally fixed my sunroof drains ? probably one of the most frustrating fixes I've had to do but after 5 hours of swearing and throwing tools new drains and vents are working spot on!

    I would love to buy the car...if I didn't already own 3 cars which are continually draining my bank account as it is [emoji41]

    I'm still interested. I'm based around Gloucester.

    The dreaded tin worm has now eaten what little was left of my sills and rear arches after already claiming my front wings ? I was wondering if any of you guys have used aftermarket repair panels on your own cars and what the quality was like? I've seen them for sale on oem and more, vw heritage etc unsure if any are better than others. Any advice appreciated ? Also any good body shops in the Gloucestershire area that are recommended?

    I checked my front drain tubes by opening the sun roof and forcing water down them and watching whether it was coming out of the valves...turns out it just ran straight into the footwells. In principal you could test the rear drain tubes in the same way, Other than that it's headlining out I'm afraid
  12. D1BBZ
    Headlining is already out as it needed to be relined due to sagging. Just ordered 15 meters of tube so should be able to renew all 4 whilst it's out. Just need to get the rubber valves for the ends as they didn't come out in 1 piece unfortunately! Cheers for the help guys [emoji106]

    If your wings are too far gone to repair like mine were, I bought a genuine pair from vw parts international for £250
  14. D1BBZ
    After not driving my car this winter I went to move it recently to find a complete mould fest over the whole interior! I found that water was leaking into my front footwells which I know is pretty common. So I went through all the normal checks and found that my front sunroof drains were completely blocked and also split I was just wondering if anyone has replaced these and if so what with? (I can't find any VW parts assuming there obsolete) Any help would be appreciated Cheers, Steve.

    Finally I have wings without holes in Not much progress but progress none the less!

    Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure weather to go for the US bootlid but might buy one just to try it out

    I presume I will need a US spec splitter to go with it. Is there anything else I will need?

    That's good to know I'll send him a message later. I'm looking for a body shop to do the work on mine at the minute as my local guy moved to Devon. I read through BennyK's build thread it was impressive, where's he based?

    Cheers Bealieboy, they have a set for sale although they look like they have seen better days. Just need to try and translate the site now

    Hi guys I'm looking for a Vento front end conversion and US spec bumpers for my mk3. If anyone knows of any for sale or useful places to look for them it would be much appreciated
  21. D1BBZ
    If you are changing the filter there is a special tool to remove it as its not easily accessible (VAG T10066) but I've seen these included in some kits.

    Electrics aren't my forte so couldn't say if they would cause the warning alarm to go off just by leaking, it didn't on mine. Replace the switches first, I had problems with the seal behind the oil cooler onto the block on my engine but that pours oil out if it has gone.
  23. D1BBZ
    Those are the oil pressure sensors I think.
  24. D1BBZ
    I had a similar problem and it was the MAF sensor playing up.

    There is a guide in the FAQ section on the forum page
