Try putting below 5 on a quote on line from them, They won't supply one I have no idea how much mine was lowered by and I think they would have a hard time proving it was lowered more than 5cm.

i'm with admiral, cost me an extra 50 squids or something. So you know they do not insure cars lowered more than 50mm

Problem with suspension components bending is that you normally can't see by eye. A difference of 2 mm adjustment will throw it out completely and ruin your tyres. I would take to to your local accident repair and get them to do a geo. That'll tell you exactly what's screwed if you can't do the stringing method.

Never dont egr valve so couldn't comment. Plug would be a 15 min job and I would expect iridium plugs for about £25, at a push and using copper slip on all threads. Crank sensor is horrible and took me about 1.5 hours at the weekend as the intake manifold, starter motor has to come off. Diagnostics are a wallet rape if it's more than a fiver but £30 could be worse. Atleast it's not over £100 like BM. Sensor is about £45 I would try a deal and get it all done for £120. You can get a cambelt done for £100 labour!!!!

As above, you're not following so you might not have seen my reply otherwise

Bald on both edges would generally mean under inflation. Toe in give wear on outside edge, toe out will give it on inside edge. There is no reason why with lowering springs or coilovers you can't get 100% tracking. When you hit a pot hole the only reason your tracking goes out is if something is bent. I would check you stut and wish bone as these are designed to bend first, mainly wishbone. As long as the camber geo is set up correctly to spec you can adjust the toe yourself. If you're having to adjust the track end all the way it sounds like you will be causing toe in, something (wishbone, tre, strut, knuckle) is bent or the tracking equipment is not correctly calibrated. The subframe bolt should be tight. I would take pressure off the subframe with a jack to see if you can tighten it. Other things will always bend before the SF though. You can check your tracking yourself using a method similar to this which shows you very visually which way the wheels are pointing and which adjustments you need to make. http://www.elantragt....com/id554.html This also enables you to make adjustment for bent components. Also make sure you have the correct front camber using a camber guage if you have access to one. Gray

There is no difference in the calipers. It's only the disc thinkness and pad thickness. Sport will already have 256mm fronts. First one is no as gti has a hydraulic clutch which works from the master C Second is yes

Mine has always done it, it's the fan. I used to call my lupe owl, it's so happy in the winter.

calipers off a full rebuild making sure all surfaces are clean and have loads of rubber grease on. Sometimes it's the only way

Only 70 squids

I was shocked also but it did. We always do self diagnostics but have access to an emissions machine through a friend. Oil wasn't overfilled at all and it wasn't burning any. Nearly everyone in the trade I've spoken to seems to think these cheap cats are only used to pass 1 year and don't last that period. We checked all the vitals on vag com all of which were perfect, cleaned up everything to run perfectly as it did. Lambda was cycling as it should. Only the cat was the problemo

Roight, the lupo is going in the next month so I'm prepping for sale. Everything is done bar the emissions. For 2 years running I have had to replace the cat. The first year I went from genuine to ECP one as I mis-diagnosed the problem but unfortunately threw the genuine one out. Passed MOT in the end with emissions fine. This year in may, sure enough it failed again on emissions. Replaced the cat and it went through. Does anyone have any experience of these cheap ecp cats getting a car to pass then passing the buck a month or 2 down the line. My friend replaced his cat as it had broken, 2 months later for MOT it needed replacing again as it had gone in that short space of time. It was also a lupo. My cat isn't type approved as it's pre that special date. Thoughts please as I'd like to sell the lupo to a friend and make sure it's perfect

there was a polo gti one on ebay where he has spelt ballast wrong. only £20 or so. It may well do the trick

I thought the 3l did have it in the boot in some instances. This is a very early one so things may have changed.

sounds like the cables aren't fully releasing. Maybe wip the calipers apart, loads of red grease and a couple of new cables.
