loubyvr6 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 im gutted, was driving the car to work and had a big pop then lost all compresion, got a realy bad feeling she may be dead, got a tow home, but its to dark to have a look at her to have any idea whats wrong, totaly im fed up with her now, shes turned out to be the most unreliable and most expensive car ive ever owned, even my old astra was better than this!! :-( :-( Link to post Share on other sites

loubyvr6 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 thanks guys, i always dreamed of having a raddo, and was so excited when i finaly got her, its been such a disapointment from the start though, but every time i think i should just cut my losses and get rid i look at her and see how sexy she looks and just cant do it, maybe this might be a opertunity to get the 1.8t conversion.

toadboy 0 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 hi at the back of the manifold there is a big plastic breather these blow apart with a loud bang then you loose all compression and it wont run best thing 2 do is eliminate it by joining together with a piece of pipe good luck Link to post Share on other sites
