:idea: Tip #1: solder wires instead of using that devil's instrument which is alligator clip (Patil docet).
Maybe you used a crocodile instead of an alligator... 😂

Dissoldering the chip is a valid alternative but a soldering station is required. I've only simple iron solder. :roll:

Now modifying the antenna according to ciclo's solution. :arrow: https://www.uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php? ... 45#p469083

Replacing old gear shift gaiter made of eco-leather with new gaiter of genuine leather.

# 1 disassembly the gear shift parts
Image

#2 fix new leather on old plastic frame (I've glued it)
Image

#3 reinstall the knob. Final result :wink:

Hi guys, just replaced the cooling tank but it remains a little tilted despite it's mounted correctly. Have you the same problem?

To compensate, in your case (LHD), either the passenger has to lose a little weight or the driver has to gain a little weight, in my case it's the other way around. 🤣

The weight of the number of people on one side or the other of the planet also influences, it seems that the population of my Indian friends has increased considerably, fortunately the Americans (USA) and lately also the Mexicans compensate for these small imbalances in levels.

I can always joke with the Indians, they are very wise people.
Namaste.🙏

:lol: Thank you guys!

Today I've replaced the rear disks and find out one clip is missing but can't find the code on etka and the clip is not included even with new pads.
Can you help me solving the mistery? Thanks!

I purchased Ate pads (first equipment) but the clip are missing.

They are even missing in the photo showed on Etka.

Mhh...pads fit anyway without them but i think it's better with.

5K0 698 231 is different clip. The right one should be 1J0615231.

Thanks man. :wink:

Edit

1J0615231 is NOT the right part. I had to cut it it order to fit the pads.

Any help will be appreciated.
