    i use sonus cockpit detailer and a microfibre cloth, and impressed with that, doesn't leave a false shine but everything looks clean and new http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/ ... od_78.html

    deffo worth getting 288mm fronts, i wasn't too impressed at first, but now i really notice i have much better braking power
  3. Jim Bowen
    i' interested too, i forgot about this
  4. Jim Bowen
    is this yellow sender cheapish? shall i get one from VW dealers? may as well try that, as mine comes on now after replacing the pump
  5. Jim Bowen
    tried everything on mine, took it to a local garage for help too, but in the end they had to be cut off and the brake pipes remade.

    i did make these threads a while back when doing mine, am sure the info could be made a bit clearer though. rears viewtopic.php?f=23&t=72885 fronts (the info is halfway down 1st page of thread) viewtopic.php?f=23&t=72642&hilit=288mm

    so have we decided the pump shouldn't come on with ignition?
  8. Jim Bowen
    yep, i never saw a bit of cardboard in mine
  9. Jim Bowen
    do you mean the tiny little bent bits that sit on top of slam panel? they do go in near the end iirc

    just googling around and found this page, albeit german http://translate.google.co.uk/translate ... %26hl%3Den TVW0604-6P VW Golf/ Corrado VR6 (95 -) VW Golf / Corrado VR6 (1995 -) OR TVW0611-6P VW Golf 3 GTI/ VR6/ Variant ab 3/95+ VW Golf 3 GTI VR6 / Variant from 3 / 95 + i think they changed the golf mid 1995, so need 95>onwards hoses.

    i've dug around my photobucket and these are all i can find, not sure if they help.
  12. Jim Bowen
    are your calipers the correct way up? this is the set i bought when i did mine this is them fitted i can't measure them atm, but might be able to take wheel off car later and see
  13. Jim Bowen
    surely the hoses must be too short, have you got rear hoses as well? not got them mixed up
  14. Jim Bowen
    my magnex got a lot louder after a while
  15. Jim Bowen
    i';ve nearly bought some solitudes loads of times, but then i remember the speedline looks better :clap:

    was a big debate on another forum i use recently. i keep telling people paint is better, but they wouldn't believe me. Am sure most new cars come with paint not powder coat
  17. Jim Bowen
    deffo keep them, i hate the look of car without them, just looks like something is missing. But i'm also a fan of black bits, like door handles etc to break car up a bit
  18. Jim Bowen
    even with the full black leather i still never use my aircon :nuts: i really should get it tested/working etc
  19. Jim Bowen
    i came out of the shops the other day and someone had stuffed a plastic bag of rubbish into my wheel arch :clap:

    Cutting Out

    Jim Bowen replied to Josh Waddi's topic in Engine Bay

    i wouldn't know what to suggest other than checking all the fuses, did you have the correct fuse in the slot where you replaced one?
  21. Jim Bowen
    i've heard it can be more expensive than the real carbon fibre
  22. Jim Bowen
    i've just noticed one of mine has cracked again, already replaced it once paying the £90 odd from VW, not sure i want to pay it again :(
  23. Jim Bowen
    if you read ingredigents on the tardis all it says is white spirits and xylene
  24. Jim Bowen
    i might try using that tardis stuff to take mine off, i bought a gallon and hardly found anything to use it on :lol:
  25. Jim Bowen
    yeah, i replaced mine, and since have noticed it coming on straight away with ignition, never noticed it before, but can't see how its possible to fit it incorrectly
