upgrade

Hi everyone. I'm looking to install an OEM intercooler on my 88bhp 2003 4 pin long nose (if anyone has one to sell?), and then plan to get a remap. But I want to be able to stop well with the extra power. So can I upgrade the brakes relatively easily/ do I need to put on bigger calipers etc. Did...

Hello all! Just a quick one (i couldn't find any historical posts regarding this), fitting a new headlight loom on my VW T4 2003 2.5tdi. Im assuming the orange connector goes to the back of the bulb. However, i cant work out where the black two pin connector (in the image) goes to? Im sure...

Hi I am new to forums, so please forgive errors in posting. My sister has a T5 2.5 (2003) manual gearbox that is jumping out of 5th gear.

Hi all, I'm looking for an 087 BCM upgrade for my van and I wondered if anyone could advise me the best place to get one without paying stupid money. I have tried a number of breakers and no luck so far. I have a 2011 60 plate T5 and any help would be gratefully received.

My 2009 T5 camper is a standard 1.9tdi t28 with the basic dashboard (no mfd, revs, speed, coolant temp and fuel gauge). After a year I am really missing some of the features on my car - fuel consumption, ave speed, distance/time travelled etc. Are the sensors for this already on the van so...

Hi guys I'm fairly new to this forum and so far managed to answer all my questions without even having to write a thread -loads of good info on here. But I've been trying to sort the headlights on my 2000 1.9 T4 for a while now with no joy, hoping you guys can help. So the Van's headlights on...

Ok - I'm probably being my normal stupid self, but... A few months back I swapped my dim headlights for one of Upspex's upgrade looms with brighter bulbs. All is good at night now - I can actually see where I'm going, BUT... I've just failed the MOT because the headlights come on with the...

Last time I checked the nearest place that could/would finish off my half finished parking heater upgrade was somewhere in Northants, but that was a couple of years ago. Anybody know of a place nearer NW London? I simply lack the time and space (and weather) to finish off the job! From memory, I...

My T5 has had a head gasket go, so rather than just doing a normal gasket change I am thinking about changing the head and turbo from a 1.9TDI PD 130 Bora. With the T5 being a PD 100 and the Bora being a PD 130 The head numbers are the same, so here is a few questions before I start. 1) Do I...

Sold and gone thanks !

Hi, Got some DRLs added to the van - the strip in the bumper which is a whiteish LED. The DRLS in the standard commercial light cluster were yellow in comparison. Found a LED upgrade on ebay which in my eyes is a great upgrade on the original bulbs. No Errors shown on dash etc. On the pic...

Hi guys, I've read through countless forums regarding steering wheel upgrades and whether or not the controls will work with an aftermarket head unit. I own a 2005 T5, but have come across 2013 T5 at the wreckers, and they can do a great deal on the multifunction steering wheel with airbag...

Hi. My camper has the basic RCD210 radio and I've just bought an RNS315 of the bay of fleas. Can anyone point me to a thread or other online guide on how to fit this to my 2011 T28. I've seen a YouTube video of a guy removing the RCD but he fitted another single DIN head unit. I've also read...
