yeah just had them off today and from what i can see they are the original VW top mounts - 145k on the car lol do you think it will be them that are making the noise ?

hi all just wanted to clarify before I spend money - had a set of AP coilovers fitted 6 weeks ago - lupo gti. getting a nasty creak from both sides now at low speeds when I pull of the drive and also at low speeds on uneven road surfaces am I right in thinking I need to replace the top mounts ? bearing and rubbers ? also do I just buy the standard gti ones from vw and will they fit the AP coilovers ? thanks in advance

sorted now

Cheers for that I'm a bit gutted really as I only had them done 10k ago time for a 18t I think

The polo engine won't fit with the Lupo six speed box, bell ousting bolts don't line up

Hi all new here and looking for advice with my 2003 gti - I keep getting black specs up the back of my car it's had a bottom end rebuild 10k ago so I doubt it's the piston rings, it's fitted with a scorpion power flow cat back the black specks seem to be carbon out the exhaust and accumulate over a couple of days after washing the car - anyone on here experienced this at all ? Any advice appreciated - thanks
