    Hi Chaps, My MK4 Estate currently has the horrible grey flannel cloth cards and seats. I've been trying to find a set of door cards with the black/grey cloth, but finding it pretty tricky, especially with the rear doors. So it got me thinking whether I'm better off finding the fabric and...

    I bought a mk4 tdi recently with a pd100, I got it very cheap as it had a miss-fire. I guessed it was either the injector loom, buggered injector, or damaged cam. I have replaced the injector loom and checked the injectors, but the engine is still miss-firing, which leaves me to think that the...

    I did, the other day and it's the oddest one I've ever seen: "Heated oxygen sensor (H02S) 2 bank 1 and 2 interchanged" I replaced an ignition coil a few days previously. Cleared the errors and took it for a drive and then checked for any more issues. Nothing came up, all good. Checked again the...
