Look on Ebay, there is a company that does decent Gauges (seperate) without buying the 'FULL' kit.

Cannot remember the name of company, If I get a sec I will double check for you.

Nice little thread going on here, P on a 96, Mines was an N on a 96.

Keep on top of that Red with Polishes and Wax, as for some reason all reds turn to get dull.

You need some RED VAG HT Leads now!!!! 

;)
