Is it? I never noticed when I put mine on.

Hmmm.

Mine's 11" long, how about yours?

About right that. I get a sweep to the High level light.

Somethings not quite right here.

Right thats the wiper sorted.

I bought one from the dealers for a B6, which is much shorter. I now have one from VAG parts which they list as an upgrade for the B5. I'm not sure what it is off, but at least I can see where I've been now.

On the wheel front, as soon as I've got through the tyres, the originals will be going back on. I seem to be using more fuel, and it seems to much of a coincidence not to be to do with the new wheels. Bloody cheap reps are about as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking competition. They must weigh more than the original rims and are taking more turning. Ride has suffered and it tramlines like a bad un.

If I can keep em away from the kerbs, I should get a good price for them on the bay I reckon.

My V6's economy is suffering too. I only got 30 on a run from mine to manchester and home via m62/m1.. Did have bars on top and ski's and carriers..
Prob just cold effecting it Si..

ask justin....he has a wheel fetish!

he will deny it tho!

on the mpg front,mines doin ok without the 'box' on.average aboot 46-47 on the way to work.bout 10 mpg down wi out box.

Bloody cold this morning.

Went out to the cars this morning to de-ice them.

Peugeot 307 HDI first. That seemed very slugish to start. It did the same thing last week after a very cold night, and needed to be jumped with the Passat. I tested the battery, and found that it was low on one cell. I put it on charge, and it has been fine until this morning, so today, I bought a new battery.

Passat next. After a long wait for the heater plug light to go out (V6 TDI with old school non pd) it started but was running as rough as fu*k so I turned it off. Tried again and it started first time and ran fine settling down to it's 750rpm tickover, then BEEP!!!!! "EMISSIONS WORKSHOP" accompanied by the engine managment light and a flashing heater plug light. I didn't worry too much about this cos it had done it a few weeks ago and sorted it's self out. Anyway, got out, shut the door, or at least tried to. The door was just bouncing back. I checked the latch by closing it with a screw driver, and it seemed fine. Tried to shut the door again, no good, so I left it. Can back out about 5 mins later. Tried the door, and it shut. Turned the ignition off, started it again, all fine.

Last but not least 1989 Golf GTI. Got in it, started it and drove off

Dont you just love modern cars?

Brake light switch Si?

First thing I looked at.

Dizzy suggested that last time.

Mine was really badly arced up. Looking at it it's a peice of schitte. New one much better.

I got ESP and ABS lights on. Not returned since.
