Thanks guys was hoping to lift bottle out and replace but seems a lot more complex reconnecting everything. Think will stick to filling up to 3/4 and just refill more often until it gets worse!

Had a service and VW said I had a leak with screen wash bottle. It only leaks when over 3/4 full and after trawling the net it appears the bottle is in 2 pieces and this could be the cause. I can see the reservoir and one bolt that looks like it’s holding it in but am rubbish at all things mechanical so wondered has anyone taken theirs apart/out? VW wanted around £400 for a new bottle to be fitted which seems extortionate! Any help greatly appreciated!

Mine started wheel spinning after id had it for about 6 months and car was 3 yrs old. Went to VW dealer who found my haldex pump was broken. Fixed under warranty but showed costs as £950. Ive got cheapish Generali tyres and getting no wheelspin at all in dry and almost none in the wet 😁

hmm dead here i guess lol

how good was the job they did?

Ive kerbed my alloy quite badly! Can anyone help? Im in the Midlands but happy to travel.

A 1990 Sierra 1.6 lx 🤬 Got done over by a dodgy garage and had bought Orion Ghia I but it had been in a shunt and should have been scrapped!! Managed to get a different car off them at a discount but what a pile it was. It was only 4 years old and i went for the newest car I could afford 🤔 I've learned a lot since lol 😂

Ditchfinders on mine (General Axium Sport) but still epic handling and no wheelspin after 10k miles 😁

My warning light came on so drove like a granny. Undid the cap and a popping noise and coolant went from just below min to about halfway. My Das Welt runs out in 1 week so fingers crossed it either is air pocket or if leak does it in next day or 2. Im going to give her a booting tomorrow just to check if light comes back on or not. 😁

Insurers dont care provided legal and correct size.

296 from 2 litre is better though 😁 lol at the cant lose a fiesta up to 60mph - I had around 90mph out of my Up! courtesy car with its huge 70 bhp or so 😭😭

Overtaking a m240 on a dual carriageway doing 75mph with accelerator buried as Audi TT glued to my bumper when bmw decides to gun it just as im slightly infront. Hugely immature but boy did I grin when Audi became a mere dot and Bmw man couldnt reel me in like he thought and i was steadily increasing the gap. He gave up and at this point! He may have a faster car but if someone gets the jump on you then catching them is very difficult. Especially if its someone in a R 😁

Pulsar Kinetic. Was a 30th birthday present and has never been serviced and still going strong 14yrs later. Its plain and not too shouty like the R which is why i like it!

I used to think my friends Lotus Carlton back in about 1995. Having looked at the performance it seems nothing between the Carlton and a Golf R either 0-60 or quarter mile times. Crazy considering it was a 3600cc twin turbo monster! Top speed shows as 180mph but out of respect held back once hit 130mph as seemed terrifying in that big old bus of a car 😭
