    I have a front wheel drive 1.8T and I just finished replacing the rear calipers. Unfortunately the brake cable on the right does not always retract. The cable has no plastic coating (unlike the left where it's in the process of crumbling off). I pulled the boot and some strands are rusted away...

    Hi, I have a 2009 Passat estate Rline 1.9Tdi 140HP. The nearside rear spring needs replacing and I would like to know if the Rline used standard rear springs (i.e. not sports, heavy duty etc.). So many options have been quoted to me when I try to find a replacement.
