    Screws for AC Condenser baffles?

    Does anybody know the part number (or even just the spec) for the self tapping screws that hold the plastic baffles that go around the AC condenser? As best I can work out, there are 5 of them and they all screw into the main slam panel moulding: Two for the bottom "blade", one at the top of the...

    AMF Crankshaft Sprocket Removal

    Evening All. My query is as the thread title - can anyone suggest a good way of removing a stubborn triple-square 19mm crankshaft sprocket bolt on an AMF? I've got the "Y" shaped hold tool for the sprocket and a 240v (Clarke) impact gun and a 27" breaker bar, but no amount of trying has budged...

    Maximum thickness for spacers, 16 inch SE wheels?

    I'm surprised this question hasn't been asked before, but I can't find any previous thread that does so: For the standard 16" SE 6 spoke alloys with the recommended tyre size fitted, standard bodywork and standard suspension, what is the maximum thickness of spacer that can be fitted without...

    Viewing forum on an iPhone

    I'm not sure if I've inadvertently changed a preference setting on my phone, or if something has been changed at the Forum end, but since this morning when I try to view a thread on my iPhone, I'm confronted with the thread itself greyed-out and the option of "Open this topic on..." followed by...

    LED Brake Light Lamps?

    I've read a few threads on here alluding to problems when fitting LED combo brake/tail lamps, presumably because of a lack of circuit resistance. I'd like to get a pair of these...

    Driver's Door Window Closing (or not)

    I'm having a bit of a problem getting my driver's door window to behave itself. When it closes, it hits top then backs off about 50mm or so. I've read the many threads on here about resetting the limit sensors and that worked perfectly for the other three doors, but not the driver's one...

    Fuel Cap Tether

    As topic title: Mine has just snapped where it had perished in the middle bit. Are the tethers available separately, or do I have to buy a whole fuel cap?

    Post-Tandem Pump Failure, Parts List?

    I've moved this over from an enquiry I made to Tom @CreweAudi on his group buy thread, as it seems worthy of a topic in its own right. While my tandem pump currently seems to be in good health, as far as I know it's the original so it's over 18 years old. A quick read of the various threads on...

    AMF owners - how many litres to fill up?

    As thread title: For the AMF (so the small fuel tank), if you fill up when the low fuel warning light comes on, how many litres do you get in?

    Exterior B-Pillar Covers

    Can anyone tell me if the external (black) B-pillar covers on the A2 are aluminium or plastic? I'm looking for somewhere to hide a Pure DAB aerial and was wondering if I might be able to squeeze it inside one of the covers. If they're aluminium though, that's probably not a good idea.

    Removing the 12v Socket

    Has anyone successfully removed the 12v socket from the housing by the handbrake without breaking it? If so, would you care to share the secret of your success!? I just want to get it out of the moulding, not 'delete it' permanently, by the way....

    Foam Cable Sleeving

    Does anyone know of a source for the very lightweight open-cell foam sleeving that OEMs use to stop cables rattling? I'm looking for some with around a 10mm bore. I guess I could use Armaflex, but that's quite heavy (not to mention expensive) and it's a bit bulky too.

    All season / winter tyre choice dilemma

    My never-ending rebuild is nearing completion and I'm on the lookout for a set of 15" pepperpots. Question then is, with what rubber to shod them? I'm tempted by a set of CrossClimates but I don't see them listed in anything other than high Load Index & XL ratings, which isn't going to do the...

    Shield for ABS ring, Front Bearing

    I'm hoping someone can clear this up quickly for me: In the attached photo, there are two shields(?). The black one came with the new CV joint kit and clips onto a lip around the circumference of the main body of the joint, immediately before the root of the spline outer shaft. The white one...

    JDD Gearbox conversion - gearchange fouling

    The balance weight on top of the gearchange tower of the JDD 'box is different to the one on the standard EWQ (TDi AMF engine). What I've found in today's bit of progress is that this balance weight gets VERY close to the two wires that bolt to the starter motor solenoid. If I fit the clip-on...

    Does this look right to you?

    There's something not quite right about this new clutch arm. In the photo looking at the LHS of the release bearing, the bearing outer is actually in contact with the edge of the release arm pressing. It's seated on the plastic 'rocker' against which the release arm presses, but I can feel a...
