Hairyarse 10 Posted February 6, 2015 Ref the mats, not sure about the backing as I sold the car Monday! lol I think they're rubber?

Wayne2015 10 Posted February 6, 2015 no danger m8. i ended up replacing many more parts than those which were on the original list lol plus you just cant cater for things like the heater matrix pipes collapsing when they fitted the new roose hoses - that was costly even though vince did me a half price on the labour to fit a new matrix! however, on the plus side it meant that apart from attacking the bottom end the majority of the engine related area is now new :D lol oh, if you consider changing your cooling hoses i would recommend using the original VW constant tension clips rather than the jubilee set the hose manf's sell (as long as it doesnt invalidate the warranty on the hoses) FYI check out Post Office for credit card - they have a 0% transfer thingy & also a 3 month 0% on purchases! ;) i know cause i got one 2 weeks ago so as i can put a manifold back longlife stainless system on the VR before its MOT lol Ref the mats, not sure about the backing as I sold the car Monday! lol I think they're rubber?

Wayne2015 10 Posted February 7, 2015 Blimey are they a charity??!! lol Lol They good people, Andy :) Ok More WOES from me :( 1. Can i fix this bent cover at each end bottom of the driver seat? 2. Is this normal sight? Or there should be a cover for the fuses And a cover by the bonnet release? 3. This NOT original fuel flap? As it dosent seem to cover the whole fuel area And it got no central locking bit to the flap Hence rust around the filling area? 4. My car stalls at least once a day! Not me stalling it, but everytime it stalls its always in neutral (Either i just about to change gear or stationery in traffic) Is this the fault! (A) aluminium foil around battery connections??? (B) and what are all those RED cables going to that small BLACK box? © or coz the LCD on dash PERMANENTLY on??? This normal? Not drain battery? Shall i get a new battery?

seanl82 23 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Fuel flap is correct, seat cover trim bits should have press rivets in to stop the bending out like that but chances are the splined bit at the back that keeps them in is broke. Dash lights should be off when lights are switched off, battery has obviously been on and off so many times the posts are worn, so it won't clamp tight enough, hence the foil, and finally there should be a fuse box cover which also hides the top part of the bonnet release handle, along with the trim in your footwell on the right which looks broke at the top.

Cheers Sean Awwww - more parts to source and ££££ then :( As well as Timing Chain etc :( :( :( Ref dash lights They are off with the lights I meant the LCD screen with the CLOCK and Mileage etc - are they suppose to display even with keys/lights out? Thanks again :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted February 7, 2015 They display constantly but the green backlight should be off when the lights are off. If you like, I have a fusebox cover but it has a couple of holes where a previous owner has lost the correct securing clips, and just screwed a couple of self tappers in! It can't be seen, but it's yours for postage if you want it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
