it was a mission.

but still have to double check to make sure that it did work.

yeah, insulate and pad contact points. which had minimal or no effect, mind you.

more results came with a can of CRC silicone spray and those handy thin tubes.

i might 'go for a drive' now to see actually...

any other questions, jsut ask!

I don't have noises coming from centre vents.

mine was jsut ahead of the gear shift lever, where the console meets ash tray assy. it was creaking. plastic flexing with plastic.
i found that mount franklin bottles rattle like hell. the ring vibrates like a motor.

oo. almost missed your post.

thanks.

Who released those specs?

Heasman's steering is doing the work. They are pretty good. They do exotics as well.

The specs are from VW just formatted for ease of use, have a read of THIS THREAD at VWVortex to bring yourself up to speed with everything to do with the car, there's around 5 years worth of combined knowledge about the car in that thread alone.

Enjoy

Cheers Al

Gave the wheels a good clean and also gave them a coat of Opti-Seal - will report back on how well that helps prevent buildup on the wheels (15 spoke wheels aren't the easiest to clean!).

Car looks nice and shiny again. :)

Nice job Manaz! i don't think i've seen your car before... Looks nice! I'm liking those wheels on the white car.

Graeme86 hacked the cluster hexcode in my R to make the temp gauge read the exact water temp:banana:
