  1. yeah just weld mk3 subs on, they will look very nice though mate
  2. and i need a ride in your chargesd vr fella!
  3. hey mate, hows things? i took it to marsh motors in st abans ( 01727 852018) if you go, Dave is the owner. they are a small garage but pretty good, they also did my timing chains they arn't rip off merchants and Dave has built up some nice rides over the years.
  4. i just had the gear linkage adjusted on 2nd gear cos it was a bit crunchy and its smooth as silk now, i know 3rd gear synchro is prone to wear but if its occasional it sounds like an adjustment is all thats needed.
  5. mine didn't happen all the time either, now its like a new box....super smooth
  6. hi all, after taking it up to my mechanic, it turns oout the oil was fine and all it needed was the gear linkage for 2nd gear adjusting slightly, so if anyone else has a bit of a crunch primarily on one gear only have this checked out, my bill was only £20 !!!!!!! cheers all
  7. hi mate, yeah she has been very well behaved recently (touch wood) excelent threads thanks, think i'll go for the vw stuff as thats whats also recommended in the bentley manual
  8. hhi all, has anyone topped up or changed their gearbox oil? i know vw don't specify changing the oil but my gearbox just feels a little 'un smooth' i guess and thought that maybe changing the oil would make it a little smoother, going into second can be a bit crunchy. not the best decription i know lol
  9. hi all, my oil pressure light flashed twice tonight. started the car, let it warm up, drove off, braked at a roundabout after about 2 minutes of driving and the light flashed twice, the light went off and didnt come back on, then finished my five minute drive. the chains were done at 100k and the head gasket done at 90k. is it just a case of waiting to see if it comes on again or should i book it in for testing.....what test do they need to do? thanks in advance
  10. you may not get a fuel smell if the lamda is fooked, mine was, had no fuel smell but was eating petrol like a bugger, getting 9 mpg! and loads of popping i had a fuel smell in my old one and it was knackered pipe at the fuel pump in the boot, might be worth having a sniff in there if you get someone else to start the car.
  11. can you remove and clean the lambda sensor thingy? or is it a new one if it goes? mine came up on a fault on vagcom what are the aftermarket ones like cheers
  12. hi all, as title really, need to know what diameter the top radiator pipe is. thanks
  13. i have either a black or a chrome one both mint, £7 inc p&p for either one, oh and the only bagde difference for a highline is the boot badge
  14. mine mis-fired when 1 of the leads was knackered, although i dont know why yours would do this if it had been unused for 2 months, i guess the easiest way is get another set of leads on the bay ,or borrow a friends and test each one in turn, if youre near st albans get in touch as i have a some leads we can test yours with. adam
  15. hi, do you mean the glass is moving when you push it? if yes, open the sunroof on 'full tilt' then you will see a black plastic guide cover, slide that back (its in a 'u' shape so you will need to unclip it on both sides, the glass is held in by 4 screws that you need a special size 25 star shaped allen key to undo, they hold the glass in position so it sounds like one or more has worked loose, it usually takes a couple of times to adjust it correctly, but when you see it close (from outside the car) it should pop back into position without catching anywhere. hope this helps mate.
