Prob just go up in the morning Simey, will leave in good time though. You up for a convoy then?

Thanks for the info Jules, I'll take a look at that then. I really hope it isn't pointing to the head gasket as it will mean putting of some mods for a while, whilst I get it sorted! Or maybe if head work is required........

Cheers, I'll take a look at that then. Prob crying out for a clean!

[moved] offset for 17" wheels?

I have 17's on mine and I believe the 'et' is 35 -
Sh*t!!! I've just read this, I hope this doesn't apply to us? : ( "Firstly, no - its not normal. As long as you are not overfilling the bottle, then you've got a leak. Is it wet ever under the expansion tank? check inside the oil filler cap - if you see a milky residue, then its either head-gasket or oil cooler - same if you see an oily film inside the water tank. if you can hear water bubbles gurgling when sat in the car with the ignition turned on after you have heated the engine up, then this points to a head gasket. I have a tool that sniffs the air in the water tank for combustion gases -

Hello, mine seems to do the same thing, only noticed recently. I'm asuming this is not a problem as like you say mine is running ok too!

I want to clean my mass airflow meter as I've been using an oiled induction kit for a while now. Anyone know what your meant to use to clean them? Any advice would be helpful as I know there a fortune to replace! Cheers in advance. Vince

Ahh, I see, sorry I havent got the adaptor either x)

You still got the problem? I go to no-rice (guildford) and the CGTI meet in Bracknell, I have a OBD2 adaptor and diagnostic software on my laptop, could maybe help you out dude....

I believe its normally down to the heat element thats in the seat itself, check the connector under the seat thats faulty (may have come lose) or maybe (I'm not sure how the switch is wired) swap the rotary heat control over to prove its not that. I wouldnt imagine the seats are individually fused so if your still not having any luck it would be a case of swopping drivers and passengers seats over to prove its the heat element.... Would imaging its not that cheap to sort out as you would need some upholstery work done on the seat and purchase the heat element..... stick to a hot water bottle i

I'd go for a supersprint, I have a Ramair induction kit on mine teamed up with a full Supersprint sytem (letterbox rear box type). Doesnt spoil the nice induction sound you get with the Ramair fitted, just gives a nice deep tone to go with it.
