Hi SunshineSnoopy, Have you had any luck fixing the problem with your soft top? This appeared in my YouTube feed, so I thought I’d forward it to you… Mike 😎

Hi its Trade Parts Services and the reason they won't give you part numbers is in case you go elsewhere and buy discs etc. from a cheaper source, basically any motor parts seller can get the right discs from your VIN or REG as most of them have access to ETKA the VAG parts system just like the one I have. Its got nothing to do with comeback on a dealer. Steve.

Not the way to test the battery efficiency Danny. Alternator perhaps - which seems far too low an output, but you first need to get the battery’s efficiency tested under load. If the alternator output is indeed low, then you will need to recharge the battery on an ‘intelligent ‘ charger ( your battery is an AGM one I would have thought). Once it has been charged overnight, you can then get its efficiency check by someone like Halfords. You could recheck the alternator efficiency once the battery is recharged - by the same method as you have already carried out - Incase it makes any difference. You should be looking for a running voltage of somewhere near to 14.5volts. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi guys, New to the club! Picked up my 2011 TT 2.0 tsfi s-line black edition last week. Hopefully I've posted this in the right place, sorry if not! I love the car, but am not sure about the satin grey finish on the 19in le mans alloys. They need repairing as the fronts have been curbed, but I'm wondering if painting them silver is worth it. Was the satin grey a finish specific to the s-line/black edition? I don't think I want to paint over something that was essentially an optional extra from new! I'd be aiming to match the alloys up with the fuel filler cap, or there abouts. I think it'll make the car look much more modern against the blue. (Does anyone know which factory blue that is?) Sorry for the blurry, over saturated pic, it's from the seller's listing. Anyone have any thoughts for me?

From what I’ve read there’s really not much difference in the red and yellow compounds, the general consensus is the reds a harder compound but is advertised as low dust so makes sense!

Hi. I have a number of second hand parts for an Audi 100. I'd hate to throw them away if someone can use them. Please contact me for details.

Has it got electronic power steering? If so then I wonder if a dying battery could be the cause? Failing batteries often throw up odd electrical issues, including with electronic steering. I had a fiat 500l yank the wheel out my hand once because the battery was so low on charge.
