    The End?

    My a2 is back on the road! Car is noticeably pulling more throughout the rev range too than before - probably because of those new and freer moving vanes of the replacement Borg Warner VNT turbo. Thankfully, my engine was fine after carrying out extensive checks so it was a matter of replacing...

    The End?

    On Sunday, at around 10.30pm I had a suprisingly similar fateful experience as Mike @Skipton01. My turbo died after 236,229 miles, after it went bang and my exhaust smoked after moving when the traffic lights turned green. I then limped about 100 yards to a safe spot to park up, The AA...

    Advice sought: Replacement ARB bushes for front H&R 22mm diameter antiroll bar

    Hi David, Thanks for the part number but it seems to be for the 18mm diameter anti roll bar, not the 22mm diameter required for the H&R uprated anti roll bar. The Meyle HD anti roll bar bushes are 21mm so these may just work at a squeeze.

    Advice sought: Replacement ARB bushes for front H&R 22mm diameter antiroll bar

    Which power flex ones did you end up using? Was it for a VW T5/T6 Transporter like @Catnip64 suggested above?

    Advice sought: Replacement ARB bushes for front H&R 22mm diameter antiroll bar

    Thank you @Catnip64. I checked the OEM part number which is 8Z0411314B and is 20.8mm diameter and fits Polo 9N too. I remembered that I purchased a Meyle HD droplink set which included the Meyle HD equivalent which is also 20.8mm. I found these in my garage and think these will do also.

    Advice sought: Replacement ARB bushes for front H&R 22mm diameter antiroll bar

    Hi All, My front ARB bush requires replacement after my MOT this morning. I have an H&R front antiroll bar for my TDI 90 and it is 22mm diameter. Original bushes are 18 to 20.8mm diameter I believe and the latter have been dropped by Audi. Does anyone know of an alternative which would fit the...

    Wiper arm swap.

    Paul Whittle @depronman makes refurbished wiper arms for both types. I use an aero one and my nephew uses the earlier non-aero type. More robust than originals too. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    I changed my pressed steel ones for Meyle at 226k. I also changed my original rear springs for sachs. The car definitely rides better and feels more supple yet planted than before. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

    The boot gas strut springs mod WARNING DO NOT FIT THEM.

    I experienced no such reported problems with my spring loaded and uprated struts. However, I think I was lucky in that respect and I decided to replace them back with my 'oem" Stabilus struts after all. I don't mind the absence of the auto lift function and the hatch is now easier to shut...
