Check under FAQ and DIY Polo thread, 1st page, Timbo has them listed.

Just a note for the mods - is it possible to minimise and/or review the number of posts which are based on ppl not taking the time to research/check previous posts or the FAQ thread? It clutters the forum with unnecessary, repetitive and dull threads. Not aimed at anyone, it just seems to be getting worse ...

We wish.

Problem is ... we get a lot of new ppl who appear to be unaware of the search function and just post straight up without checking to see if the topic has been covered before. Case in point ... we ended up with about 10 posts about the Golf W12 when news was released ... because NO ONE (

) thought to see if it was already documented.

Put it this way ... we try to educate as best we can ... but excitement/concern over a particular topic is a strong motivator to post straight away without checking.

Perhaps I should take on the highly respected (?) role of official poster of "search is your friend, numbnuts" or the simpler but less informative "Repost!!" ??

Seriously, perhaps preface the FAQ/DIY thread with "LOOK HERE FIRST BEFORE POSTING" ?

Oh, and Johan...here is my post with the EBC part no you requested

Sorry guys, didn't except it to be under FAQ.

I've used search under 'EBC / Brakes / pads' and didn't have luck. Obviously, missing FAQ was a bad idea.

Apologies, but I did spend more than 15 mins reading all the posts under those...

Are you volunteering, Tim?
