Technical / Tyres
Hi all, Quick question. I have a set of BStar RA's which I love. Problem is tyres. I currently have 225/40r16 tyres fitted. These are perfect for rim fitment but these tyres are no longer manufactured, or I can't find them. So, which tyres are guys using. Obvioulsy I want tyres with sidewall protection to protect rims. Anybody got any recommendations please.
Cheers Richard

I.C.E & Electrical / MFA
Hi all, hoping this is the right section. I've got a problem with my MFA, as in in external temp is not giving me a reading. I've spoken to my local VW specialist and he says there is nothing wrong with temp quage and that it might be an MFA problem. Anyone got any ideas. I have seen details about a BILTECHNIK that does MAF repairs but I can't find any contact details.

Engine & Gearbox / Fuel Tank sender
Hi all, wondering  if someone can help. Got a problem with my fuel tank sender in a 16v. On occasions the fuel guage is reading quarter but then I run out of fuel. It's happened to me a couple of times now so am now in routine of fueling up at the halfway mark. Anyone got any ideas. I've spoken to my local Mk2 guru and he explained senders are no longer available new. Will I be looking for a replacement or is it repairable?
Thanks
