    oh, I just love MK2 VRs. VW should have built this car... very nice.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    amazing what a difference it makes... lowering has got to be the best mod on any car. Looks really good now.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Ive just had a wolfsburg thingy sewn into my seats by Richard formally of MJ Interiors... Glad everyone thinks it's a bad idea.. DOH! Look in http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?84298 if it works... If not its under INTERIORS section: S3 Seats in Mk2 thread.

    might be the most stupid thing in the world to say but... The only time i've ever knackered a diff was when my old '65 Cooper spat a handful of 5/8 bearings out of the diff casing. They has been cought between cogs with nowhere to go except be forced out like bullets through the casing. Any bearings floating about?

    That's a great help. I would never have found it...

    once got a 'rado g60 down to 14.. on a blast round the back roads of Skipton. But if you set off from cold real careful you could get 70+ until you actually pressed the gas and then it was back down quickly.

    Hello all. Got some heated electric S3 seats from a breakers. Unfortunately the leather was rotten and just came aprt in your hands, so... one very expensive drunken decision later and they were off to be re-trimmed by Richard at Wizzard Interiors (formally of MJ Interiors). Thr fronts are just waiting for the head rests: The rears had to be cut down in size by 80mm as they stuck up over the parcel shelf otherwise. I'll get some pics when they are in the car... Also went for some different style doorcards. Richard was reluctant to trim them as requested but when they were done he was well pl

    Ha ha ha whooo ahha ah. Sorry. Just the thought of decent honest machanics made me laugh. I'm sure there are plenty of honest mechanics and decent ones but those with both qualities seem the stuff of legends. Sorry to hear your car is poorly but I wouldn't be too quick to reach for the cheque book - the bloke you spoke to may be trying to rustle up some business. You do the right thing in seeking another opinion. I would hope there would have been more symptoms of the bottom end etc before the breakdown. Good luck mate.
