  1. well it's basically got to be missing so coilpack, leads or plugs. Try starting your car at night and pop the bonnet see if you can see any arcing. If there is none get a VAGCOM done could also be a dodgy crank or cam shaft sensor.
  2. fitted my car out recently and the wishbone bushes fitted ok but there seemed to be play in the metal shim when i put the bolt through. It now makes a loud crack when i go from reverse to forward. I was told it was an engine mount but they seem to be ok. One of my mates believes there was a shim that was fitted in the original bushes that was not supplied has anybody an idea if he is speaking crap or has he got a point??
  3. when my mate fitted my scorpion he said it was the easiest exhaust he had ever fitted he also recon's the build quality was great aswell
  4. a set of pads in a day!!! a bit of an exageration??? HellsVR6 i know how it feels to fit/buy all those parts i just bought and had fitted FK highsports Full Scorpion exhaust system Full set of Prowflex bushes New back lights All new uprated disks and pads all round New rear bearings New drop links 2 new wings (yet to be fitted) Then it failed it's MOT nearly spewed when the garage phoned Lucky all i had to do was adjust one of the headlights for it to pass not to bad considering i had just spent 1400 on parts and 200 on fitting ouch
  5. pity the video is speeded up cos it would be more realistic in real time
  6. filters fumes from the petrol tank only needed for certain countries and not ours so pull it out and block off the black pipe
  7. to be honest if i get no hassle good and well but if i get stopped and warned they are getting changed back to standard
  8. they are all meant to be 174bhp at the flywheel although OBD2 engines usually make more. mine made 198bhp and 183lb/ft torque with just an exhaust an induction kit and a piggy back chip
  9. wee tip for ya if u were to become a premium member u get a nice discount
  10. i recently bought a full scorpion system was about 300 fitted brilliantly and is not to loud plus a lifetime warranty
  11. i will leave them on my car but going to keep the originals in the boot along with a bit of double sided tape incase i do get stopped i can then change them. My local police force don't like me as it is so will see how i get on.
  12. yes i have done a search!!! but their was talk in them about the law changing so if they are illegal is it points and a fine??
  13. u got a chip from ebay?? what type is it??
  14. u know what was even better!! the car/bike that ran before the golf ran 7.49!!!!! still a beast although my mates evo runs 12's all day with very little done!!!!
  15. quality although 300 is pretty poor!!!!!!!
  16. the way ahead i aint done it yet cos my current filter hardly fits under the bonnet never mind in the bumper recess
  17. my ABS aint worked for ages and it still passes the MOT. i just took the bulb out more hassle than it's worth if u ask me. your best form of ABS is your right foot
  18. well more like 80-90 but thought it was my wheels out of balance
  19. no the crankshaft pulley will not turn by hand!!!!!!!! I believe the crankshaft and the water pump pulleys should be smooth would need to check though.
  20. ah i understand now yes coilovers are alot thinner than normal shocks explains your problem il agree nice colour of car here is a pic of mine slammed at the back
  21. ah may explain another noise if that it!! only ever clunks when i reverse then go forward again passed it's MOT on sat with the noise cos they could find nothing wrong with it. Was just given an advisory saying "noise from ns front?" he said it was all tight as u like just he couldn't explain the noise
  22. different opinions with them some say you get better top end but lower mid range torque. Mr Wookie have you uprated your engine mounts??
