Won't be to do with Marsden Point as point as that's not where Gull get their fuel from. I believe they get theirs from Tauranga port

Mk5 Golf - Jetta - Eos / Re: Rough running Mk5 GTI
Last post by The Red Warrior - March 17, 2024, 01:17:55 PM
So, it would appear that I've fixed the issue.
I replaced the front and rear PCV valves (there was a small oil leak at the back one).
I replaced the rocker cover gasket as that was also leaking (unsurprising as the rubber was basically as hard as plastic).
I replaced the spark plugs, oil filler cap and dip-stick.
None of these fixed the issue.
I replaced the diverter valve with another revision D and all sorted (for now at least). There was nothing visibly wrong with the old one, but it wasn't quite as smooth to move as the new one.

Now I need where the rattle is that seems to be coming from the area around the bottom of the windscreen.

There are even some sellers on Aliexpress that sell them as a bundle (stereo and gateway).

Ouch!
Although $438 million is parking money for VAG.

Ha, I remember finding those dried up remains also on previous cars.
They really do look rather suspicious don't they? ;D
It maybe just a dust stop? I'd replace with something spongy that seals around that area. After all, it was there for some reason.

Mk6 Golf - Jetta - Scirocco - Beetle / BestBars towbar
Last post by dewet - March 14, 2024, 09:56:53 PM
I just bought a mk6 gti imported to Aus from NZ.

It came with a BestBars towbar but missing its hitch/tongue.

What type do I need for this as here all of them is just the square fitting.

A6 - S6 - RS 6 - A7 - S7 - RS 7 / A6 Allroad wheel arch flares
Last post by A64J2 - March 13, 2024, 08:37:36 PM
  I have a 2022 A6 40tdi C8 wagon and have been offered the plastic wheel arch trims off a 2021 A6 Allroad. 
My question is, does anybody know if the trims off this Allroad will fit my C8 wagon ?

I was trying to get the rear seat back out of the quattro in a cleaning frenzy (major mission) when I saw what appeared to be a large dog turd on top of each suspension tower. Turned out to be the decayed remains of a coiled sponge rubber pad glued on to the tower. Was this supposed to be sound deadening or just some German humour and do I fabricate a replacement or not.
