    7th gen wheels on type S

    Hi I was looking for a set of wheels to keep my 8th gen on the road while the I get my wheels refurbed. I've come across a set of 7th gen 17" wheels and wondered if they would fit my 2010 Type S without spacers or different studs etc? Thanks Scott

    Type S MPG

I was getting about 35 MPG according to the computer and 450-500 from a full tank. Ive tried to drive like a saint and the computter...

    Resetting your service reminder

    I did this today but it reset to 280 days rather than a full year? Is this just 280 days until it starts to count down again? Thanks Scott

    Unstable handling

    Got to the bottom of it I think. 8 of the rear bushes have split, the aftermarket arms must have stiffer bushes and they cant have had much give on them it looks like I should have slackened them before fitting the longer shocks. Anyone got a good source for bushes or arms? Thanks Scott

    Unstable handling

    I wonder if one has been damaged or something because they shouldnt be worn out after 45k miles surely?

    Unstable handling

    I Removed the Bk coilovers that came fitted to my car and few months ago and since then the car hadn't felt quite right. I swapped the original suspension back on and took it to have 4 wheel computer alignment done. Basically the car is far more comfortable now but any decent size bump in the...

    Twin exit exhaust for 2.2 I-DTEC?

    Does the tourer not come in a 2.4 petrol version which has twin pipes? Have a wee look on the back bumper and you will see the cut outs if they are there. I priced a powerflow dual box system for mine and was quoted £360. There are no hangers or heat sheild on the left side im not sure how...

    Rear Discs - how long should they last?

    I would change discs based on condition and the minimum thickness (8mm) rather than based on how many sets of pads its had.Brakes are very easy to do in general once youve done it once youll wonder why you were nervous about it. Although alot of rear calipers now need the pistons to be wound...

    Fixed service requirements?

    Yeah Ive got a Halfords trade card and it still cost me £65 for 6l of castrol 0w-30 edge oil. Oh well it got a 500 mile flushing treatment i suppose.

    Fixed service requirements?

    After me asking him specifically about the oil and asking him to document it. (to which the original response was Im sure he knows what hes doing hes been maintaining cars since before i was born) Ive looked up the oil today and its not the right spec! Guess ill be changing it myself after all

    DPF What is it?

    What is it thats so bad about a forced regeneration? Is it just because the oil get diluted? Also one for you Fahad. I have a delphi DS 150 will this do a forced regen on the car if ever i need it? Thanks Scott
