All sold apart from the 30mm and mcgard bolts.

Now sold, thanks.

both sets sold.

Sad thing is it was someone off gumtree that took it and I know they are unlikely appreciate it. Would have rather it went to someone off here, but money talks unfortunately. Its the last time I put anything on gumtree though. Too many fruitcakes.

1st set: Borbet t 15x7 et 35 4x100. Only 3 ropey borbet caps, but 56mm vag ones fit. Needs spigot rings. Have had what looks like a diy refurb in the past. One has some kerbing as shown but would file out easily. I had one deeper gouge filled with weld as I intended refurbing, but never got round to it. £125 ono. 2nd set: Borbet C 15x7 et35 4x100. Fitted with Kumho tyres all with 4-5mm tread. Two have some scrubbage to shoulder as I was running 20mm spacers and coilovers and would rub with rear passengers on bumpy roads. I had them powder coated around 3 years ago and are still vgc. £250 ono. Both can be boxed up if you want to arrange a courier. Can be viewed in wakefield or Sheffield.

Actually it could be more than I quoted, but no more than a litre every 2k. But thanks everyone for the help anyway I'll have a proper look over the weekend.

Probably using about a litre every 4k miles. The coolant in the expansion tank is clean. Wouldn't this be grubby if the head gasket had gone?

I'm having to top up the coolant on my arosa tdi, but can't see any signs of leaks. Anyone any suggestions?

Turned out to be the pulley on the alternator. Easy to spot Saturday morning when the PAS stopped working and I pulled over to find the belt off and the pulley in two pieces!

Got a squealing noise which is obviously coming from the alternator region. Also got small flakes of metal around the area. Something obviously wrong but is there an easy way to tell if its the alternator or the tensioner? If it is the alternator is it likely to be the bearings and can you buy them on their own? Other than that the alternator is charging and working as normal.
