My arm rest hinge broke , anybody know where I can get that repaired.
My arm rest hinge was cracked, and on its last mm to break.

Bought some QBond, and glued it back on, much stronger and tighter now. Perfect.

howsit gents, a quick question!

When I turn the ignition on in my GTI the DRl comes on but the cluster remains dark, shouldn't the cluster light up as well?

Sup guys...so after a year of having my car...going to fit a Stealth Tuned downpipe tomorrow.
Got the induction done already...well DIY, just pulled out the stock Airbox, and added a cone filter. Car sounds better and pull a lil better.
Raced a friend with a 2014 Polo gti, pull about 2 cars away from the line till about 150Kph...then we tap off.
So looking forward to see how much better it pulles with the new downpipe.

The DRL's will come on with the ignition, to get your cluster on with just DRL's you'd need to turn your light switch one click.

The pnp units for these cars didnt do much for the power.
There was a guy that tested all the pnp boxes in Jhb except the cpi pnp and got very little to no results, iirc the chipbox gave him 8kw and 11nm and that was the most power he had from the pnp's.
