Can anyone link me to some wheel bolts that are the right size, I cant find any.
-
Gorgeous car, love the wheel colour
-
New abs sensor on the way, and some new wheel bolts. Might see if I can take the chrome strip trim off the rear lights without Amie noticing.....
-

-
Most aftermarket bolts seem too long, was after some tuner ones really, bolt holes in the rotas are a bit tight.

Cheers
-
Thanks 23.5mm is threaded section length?
-
Unplugged the abs sensor yesterday, The end of the sensor is smashed to bits. I now have another problem, because I'm an idiot I forgot to measure the one standard bolt that was left in the wheel. Does anyone know the length of the standard bolts? As these are now on show gonna get some nice looking ones instead of rusty crappy ones. Help?
-
Indeed they do, sadly I think only mine will ever be so fortunate to meet the tarmac. For the lupo, photoshop will have to do.
-
Standard or ultimate fuel?

I run my ibiza on vpower, while my mpg is still normal (if not worse) My car pulled 6.5bhp more than a standard 1.4 sport, and only extra's I had was a bmc cda and vpower. -
Is that treyarnon bay camp site?

A quick plug of my car with its new wheels... we're going rota mad aha DSC_0570 by Aesthetic Adrenaline, on Flickr

Damn, Thanks anyway
-
Did you get the abs intruding when you did this? the abs intrusion is making it difficult to drive, as the stopping distance in significantly increased in its current state. It only does short journeys so no abs for a couple of days will be fine.
-
Also, signal ring? can you give me a vague description of what it as and what it looks like?
-
Is it possible it has been knocked out of place? or would you expect it be properly broken? For a temporary measure untill replacement arrives, what consequences would removing/unplugging the sensor have? I expect just the same as it is now?
-
Haha, we had to swap the replacement bolt with a shorter bolt as it was making a grinding noise. Thats determines its the drivers side front wheel. God you are helpful. If I ever vote, tbh everyone seems quite psycotic about it... youve got mine.. (if your right)
-
Thanks guys, this is massivley helpful. If this helps determine anything, it only started today, after the lads at local tyre place sheered the locking wheel bolt key and had to get creative... with an old socket....and a hammer. It may be that the sensor has been knocked out of place or detatched completley? Either way it seems it definatley a sensor issue.
-
Right, is replacing it easy? Trouble is I assume all 4 have a sensor and I dunno which one it is.. I have no vag com either.
-
Pads are near new, discs are fine. I was thinking sensor issue, but would assume a warning light would appear.
-
The abs appears to be kicking back everytime the brakes are applied, although the abs light doesn't come on, I dont know of anything else that would make the brake pedal kick back. It makes a horrific metal on metal grinding sound too. Any suggestions? Thanks
-
Been a while since Ive been on here, been concentrating on my car for a bit So the lupo is currently on Rota gt3's which look pretty awesome! Only bad new is that the abs appears to be kicking back everytime the brakes are applied, although the abs light doesn't come on, I dont know of anything else that would make the brake pedal kick back. Any suggestions? I will post some pics of the rota's soon
-
So currently on the hunt for some new wheels. something dishy. Been looking at bbs rs replicas, anyone got any other suggestions?
-
Doesn't look better without sidestrips or eyelids then?....
