Informative and amusing post,if you will excuse me saying that :lol:

Pulled the tensioner back and unhooked the belt,then popped a screwdriver into the alternator fan and turned the pulley,went one way not the other,also was quite smooth and cant see any rust.The tensioner pulley was also smooth when turned.Followed the write up in the FAQ pretty much

It did it first thing in the morning each time I used it over Xmas and New Year.When I took it to my local guy it was warm and didnt do it.I took the belt off and checked the freewheeling as per the posts in FAQ and seems fine also tensioner seems fine.Sods law it hasnt done it since.Baffled but concerned it might let me down,but if all I get is roughness and noise I can get it done then.If its going to break down and leave me/wife stranded thats a big problem. Thanks for the advice

As description the cracking noise seems to come from the alternator belt,took belt off and tried alternator clutch and tensioner wheel both seem fine.Got a price of

Has anyone got the sliding floor accessory that they could measure the dimensions for me.I am looking to adapt one for a galaxy for a mobility scooter. Many thanks for any help.

Oh dear not too promising think I'll wait for a TDI 4Motion Thanks anyway I have found a repossessed diesel 4motion thats in a bit of a state but have wondered how feasible it is to scrap it and remove the transfer box and rear drive and axle to fit to my 130 TDI Might see if ther is any info on TIS one prob is its a five speed box and I have a six so dont know if the drive adaptors would be compatible

Am looking at one of these and keeping our TDI galaxy as well for local use V6 for UK towing What kind of MPG should I expect solo and towing and are they prone to any failures Im not used to with galaxy lol Also does anyone insure their cars on a multicar policy,does it work out any cheaper

Could you tell me if there was a charge,I did it in my old (97 115TDi) Gal and stopped at 1/4 tank finished with diesel and all was well.I thought AA RAC charged for misfuelling would like to be proved wrong

Swapped the buckle over today and the bolthole is ther as per Mirez's posting.I cannot refit the trim as the cutout is not there for the buckle if I want the seat release knob.I have removed the release knob,only a c clip and spring and fitted the seatbelt trim but the rear knob is not easily accessible.Am hoping that the seat trim 95VWA63904ACW is not too expensive so I can cut a seatbelt recess and have both. It is all on though which is the main thing :-)

For Anthracite Finis 1109715 6.41 (N/S I believe) Finis 1139724 7.48 (O/S I Believe) Total 13.89 + VAT 2.78= 16.67 From Frauds retail price

Thanks for that,I nearly bought a Sealey one ,saved

I'll keep having a look through trouble is I keep buying 'bargains'just in case lol

Did it Ok by normal bleeding,why does the TIS say use a vaccuum pump,is it to make it a one man operation?

many thanks going in early to do it (hopefully)
