  1. oh, I just love MK2 VRs. VW should have built this car... very nice.
  2. Hello again. Managed to fit some S3 seats in the mk2 but wondering if anyone had a diagram of the heated seat elements to the heated switch. There appear to be substantially more wires in the switch than the seat. Thanks
  3. blue will be old G11 at best. G12 is pink and G12+ is purple. One problem is that most other cheaper coolant is blue so you may well have some Halford's best in your motor. The issue is that G11 will be okay with G12 but other non-VW coolants should not be mixed. Unless the garage had an old stock of G11 it would seem likely that you've got some non-VW coolant. Get yourself back down for it changing free-of-charge now that you know more than them. Good luck
  4. if you've got to bump it off (ooh er missus!) try to get some speed up and lift the clutch slowly. I know this is Grandma and sucking eggs tackle but if you lift it too quick you jolt the motor and box and test the engine mounts to the limit. If you lift the clutch slowly and don't have any speed you'll just stop. Sorry if I'm patting you on the head but I've pushed some cars further than I've driven them and have seen most bump-starting scenarios. Those vibratechnics mounts aint cheap.
  5. hi all. does the 2.8 obd1 have a warm up vale or cold-start regulator or something of that ilk? If so could anyone tell me where it is and how to test it? Thanks. mik.
  6. are those crystal lamps? very modern looking house you've got there...
  7. amazing what a difference it makes... lowering has got to be the best mod on any car. Looks really good now.
  8. Speak to Darren at G-Werks or look on www.dubforce.net . The folks on there will put you straight - the site is solely for forced-induction VWs.
  9. why not just weld a nut into your exhaust and screw in the lambda? mught as well keep thing as sim .ple as poss.
  10. damn! Thanks for the nice comments folks. They've given me a right boost to finish the old gal (ready for winter...ideal!). The front tyres are slicks but used to have tread! I've got some new ones now. Thanks again... I'm off to get me hands dirty.
  11. can't see this being a problem at all... try Justmatz or Gwent VW or any of those dudes in the mags. really straight-forward thing to make.
  12. Quite fancy a silver '60s Merc 230SL Pagoda ala Kate Moss... or an Aston Martin DB2/4 or DB5... or '72 911 2.4S in Bahama Yellow... or 250GT Lusso/ California (think Ferris Bueller)... or most of all a Muira in purple but will have any colour at a push. Hmmm. Looks like I'll have to save up for the next 6544 years.
  13. just slide the strip to the rear... the white clips fit into a slot in the strip. They slide in sideways so slide out sideways. The basic GTi strips are about
  14. LOL. yey on the shoes and shopping...
