  1. guy close to me has one... always working on it, normally turbo seals!! fun
  2. doesnt sound like its a battery problem really... if it starts fine one minute then wont the next, then it probably wont be the battery. Could be your ingition barrel, could be other things, do basic checks first,then if you cant figure it out, then go to a garage...
  3. it's best not to ask these questions, the answer would probably make you cry!
  4. [ QUOTE ] Hi - my emmision warning light came on in my GTI 1.8 T (24k from new) I had an emmission check - perfect, the car runs fine and the petrol consumption OK - over 30 on motorway I had a diagnostic check and two codes came up The dealer said that this meant that the "air mass regulator "wasn't speaking" to the throttle body so both would need changing at a cost of over £400" ( i think that was just the parts) Can anyone help please? Fredrobbo [/ QUOTE ] put this up as a new thread, and also get someone else to check that...
  5. your mk3 pads and discs will be easy, save the 120 and get yourself a haynes manual for about £15! if you have a rough knowledge of the brakes you will be easy but if not just say...
  6. oh dear... lets start a club and go round shooting these people!
  7. if your calipers have GIRLING written on them their girling... secondly, dont bother, your tdi isnt fast so it doesn't need uprated discs or calipers! get some decent ebc pads (red stuff) and buy brand new standard discs if you need them. which would be vented discs...
  8. like i said, its more for granny suing you cause you ran her down in the high street because it takes her 20 minutes to cross the road...
  9. im not the slowest driver... and i tend to angry quite easily, i also spend a lot of mine at university which is 30 miles from home. Because of the fact my car is registered so far away they pull me over to check my details, and i get annoyed so the give me a provider. if i were nicer they probably wouldnt...
  10. its more expensive on parts i know that, and parts arent always available!
  11. i never said you werent... i've never driven without insurance, but once drove for two months without an mot, ooops, seeing as i was working as a mechanic at the time, i should have checked it!
  12. well i pay 600 a year for my insurance... yet i get pulled over and given a provider, or whatever they call it, at least once every four months... so that would be 1800 every year. Its better to get insurance, not becuase of the damage to your car, but if you hit a pedestrian or cause someone injury, you have insurance to cover them claiming compensation.
  13. if you're asking if they will fit then yes, if you order them from VW then you should get the ones with the right connections on it... if you're buying from elsewhere they might not have the right connections and they take different bulbs!
  14. this has to win outright... you must see it!!!!!
  15. £600 fully comp... 21yrs old, 4 years driving, 2 yrs no claims, and 1 accident but not my fault! but then again i think i had a car like some of yours then it would be much much higher!
  16. I'm a politics student so i pretty much know what thatcher did to this country... i wonder if in twenty years time people will be moaning about what tony bliar has done to our roads?
  17. i beat an M3 once, for about half a metre off the traffic lights as his back end was just spinning... then he overtook me
  18. i dont remember thatcher, but im pretty sure i was around for a year or two... I'm 21 btw, such a wonderful age to be...
  19. I'm sure she had no diea it was illegal, at least she only got a fine and no points! I dont think the po-po are very helpful anyway, when i was 17, i had broken down in my mini on a very empty road, whilst there a police car turned up and laughed at my broken down car, explaining that i shouldnt have bought a mini and it was a piece of crap... bloody w*anker
  20. you could try leaning out the window, cry and beg for forgiveness?
  21. the yanks do want some crap though...
  22. even if people tell you the sizes, you should still check, just in case... front door speakers are normally 17cm, im not sure, not knowing much about audis!
