GTI NO BRAKES!! HELP!!!!
Today, i decided to change both front wishbones, anti roll bars, fuel filter and the two rear caliper brake hoses ( the ones with preformed brake pipe and flexi all in one) After changing everything and finally finishing the rear brake lines, i bled the brakes using the tyre pressure. After tidying ...

"Rear" Brake Upgrade
So i recently purchased some G60 Brake Caliper Carriers for the polo, but what about the Rear?
I understand that i wont really see any benefit from upgrading the rear brakes, but they look so small even on 15" wheels?

Re: Knock Sensor (where is it)
Can't quite remember Alex, would that code indicate something else?
Do you happen to know where the knock sensor is on the block, i've heard it needs to be torqued up 20nm i think, i assume it's got to be around there, hopefully not too difficult to access?

Idiot Drivers
So parked up today to get some parts from my local spares, popped to the shop to get some bits and bobs, and came back to find some silly slag in a silver Toyota Yaris scraping down the side of the polo. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/809/cumj.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x60...

Re: How to fix the 6N2 ABS Signal Outside Specifications Fau
Did this repair yesterday, and indeed the solder had cracked.
Abs light went out as soon as i connected the pump back up.
Only issue was the E5 torx bit, couldn't find one anywhere local, so i used a 4m all drive spline socket, fitted like a glove.
