Did it change the car drives or feels in any way?

Re: Audi A8 D2 oem style reverse camera

Slightly more progress made on the MFD1-Skoda DX front. I managed to get a late 2004 model MFD-1 unit from a golf, I tested its reverse camera capability by putting 12v on the vid-on pin of the din connector at the back and it switched to camera view successfully. I then proceeded to put on the ...

Re: /Leslie Phillips voice. "Well Helllooo"!

Hello and welcome! I'm thinking about a c5 1.9tdi myself... 2.5tdi would be nice too, but a lot less maintainable without a lift from what I've heard.

You will struggle to find a garage to do it, and if they do it will be thousands for the labour.

No one wants to have a car stuck on the lift for weeks after some bush is no longer available.

You can probably make a good start by just collecting all the parts required, that's a challenge in itself.

Re: Gearbox service time

The garage i was going to use is called 'CAR-POL' and looking at their facebook page they have done numerous dynamic oil replacements on luxury vehicles. The only problem is they are in Gloucester. They are a certified liqui moly center and have a geartronic machine. They quoted me £500 which is a ...

Try messaging Spanker, he may be able to supply a NOS one or a very good condition used part.
