Performance Direct - cheapest for me by a long way and I tried every one of the others listed on this thread - phone number is: 0870 458 4108 hope it helps!
-
West Yorks or Lancashire seeing as I live practically on the border!
-
Personally I'd have it down at Awesome, only costs £50 and its only 45mins drive (roughly) from Blackburn.... give em a call mate
-
How good does that look? dammmmm good thats what!
-
I'd go to Awesome if I were you Maak they took a fair while sorting mine but only charged the £53....
-
and what a sweet golf it is! mmm
-
The MAF is the bit after the airbox / filter, which has an electrical plug attached to it. It then is attached to the big black hose thats in the bottom left quarter of the above pic. Hope that helps
-
I have looked today, and I don't appear to have that either??
-
I had my tracking / alignment done last week at Awesome, cost me £53 inc VAT - car pulls in a straight line again now
-
I thought you made one of your own mate?
-
Which 'bit' of the pic is it? Also how would you go about cleaning it, do you soak it in thinners or something?? Cheers
-
Do you have a picture of said item Phil? Mine does this on occasion and seeing as I've got a bit of time off I wouldn't mind trying cleaning mine too. Ta mate
-
and me
-
Mines 'only' 174bhp mate, the RR operator said it was the most bang-on VR he'd tested in ages so I wouldn't be too unhappy with that figure!
-
I am considering selling, yes. I fancy a change having owned this for 15months now. Chris, judging by your username are you in Manchester? I'm only 20miles out of Mcr if you want to come and have a look at it? or email me daze_pat@hotmail.com if you are interested? Cheers, Pat
-
or just buy mine ready made
-
Mine also does same as Brett's. Not so much in the cold weather however, noticed it did it a lot more in the summer?!
-
When I got my car I changed the oil pretty soon afterwards and used Valvoline 5/30, I thought it might be a little thin but it never used / leaked a drop in 8 months. Then when I got it serviced at Awesome they used 10/40 oil, which does need topping up every month or so.. wierd cos its thicker oil?
-
No I know, have seen other mk3s with aircon, the late P-R platers had it as an option didn't they? You tend to see all the green and silver VR's advertised as 'Highline' cough cough.. Anyone on here seen / got a Highline with Climatronic? I've only seen one of those before, was an imported Syncro model.
-
Mine had the wooden knob (which I've just binned and fitted a mk4 one) - Also... Highlines have the black sill trims with 'VR6' on, they have the courtesy lights in the front doors, they have Aircon - AND they also have BLACK interior A, B and C pillars (now there's a rare one no-one usually mentions lol maybe I'm just a nerd)
-
bejesus! Thats not too bad eh! Mine got 174bhp @ 5796rpm and 169.3lb/ft last Sunday at Noble's in Chesterfield so I'm not catching you matey!
-
about £70 they are apparently better quality I've heard tho, I've scraped mine to buggery since I got my coilovers and there's no cracks yet... My mate has a genuine one and his has the same gap as mine, however mine seems to bow outwards at the join. Not to worry it still looks ok
-
You shouldn't be using pirated discs!!!! Seriously mine did it too, ie skipped all the time and it only lasted for about 2 weeks until I bought an Alpine mp3 unit instead and I haven't had that skip ONCE in over a year, with the roads round here too moan moan lol - it also means that with my slimline cd thingy in the cubby hole I have over 100 albums in the car now too
-
Mines not a genuine one but it fits ok, smallish gap in the centre and it bends in a little but I've scraped it lots of times and its not cracked as yet. Picked it up at York dragway for £25 in the summer

Welcome! Car looks wicked mate love the twin headlights
