Yeah I had a job getting them off!

I tightened them to 90nm which felt about as tight as I normally do them.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi all,

Anyone know the correct torque settings for the wheelnuts on a GTi? Unless I'm being blind the handy manual omits this info....

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there's a better way to get the inside "foamy" trim off (once you've got the plastic door inside off, with the door handle, tray etc.) than my local VW dealer managed?

Here's how they got the drivers side liner off to replace the window winder mechanism and motor ...

Thanks for all the replies.

I took it to a local VW and Audi specialist on the recommendation of a friend, they did the service while I waited (and I could also watch what they did) and charged me £46 - half the price VW wanted.

The guy working on my car was really enthusiastic and knowledgable ...

Thanks guys, it's out of warranty (just my luck, this morning the passenger window decides to stop working) so I'll seek out an independant.

Anyone know of any reputable ones in the Berkshire/Surrey area?

Cheers.

Hi all,

My 2000 plate GTi is due it's 50k service now, and I'm pondering whether to keep taking it to my local VW dealer or to try and find an independant.

My local dealership have been good with me, only slightly annoying me by charging £3 each time it goes in there to replace the washer fluid ...
