  6. Mk3 Golf VR6 Hello, Halfords recently fitted a new radio, managed to burn out the live feed to the radio and melt/burn a large of wires behind the dashboard.

  8. Hello, I need to replace my subframe on my R Plate VR6 Highline and have bought a Mk 3 golf subframe, which I'm told will fit as they are all the same. Is this correct? Thanks R
  9. Thanks for your reply. MOT last year Sept advised that Sub Frame and Wishbones were corroded. VW garage could not advise on lifespan, so keen to get them looked at/and replaced if necessary.
