Miss-Vw 2 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Right ok then. I just spoke to my boyfriend's mate who works at Kwik Fit (dont get me started) and he said that the oil filter may have been put in the wrong way round, which is why the oil isnt circulating properly. I dont know whether that's possible, I thought Oil Filters only went in one way? Link to post Share on other sites
Knightrider 1 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 There is an independant VW specialist in Crawley called Veefix. They are in Stephenson Way, just near 3 Bridges station, 01293 545980. I think £45 per hour plus VAT. Know most things about Mk 3s. I've had them do some bits and pieces for me in the past as I'm in Grinstead.Other independant specialists are available!! I've had work done by all of these:Cares of Crowborough - he's a proper 'engineer', rather than a fitterCG Cars (VW & Audi) in Crowborough - knowledgeable, nice people, mine is in with them tomorrowSW Auto Repairs, Ditchling Common (Stuart) - 20 years experience with VW main dealers, very helpful one man bandJohn Mitchell Racing, Littlehampton - Corrado specilalist and fiend, perfectionist (my son has a VR6 Corrado and he has done great things with it - they seem to be trouble compared to a Golf) Link to post Share on other sites
