    Hi i have an old set of speedo clocks in the garage, just wanting to know if there is anyway of see what milage they are displaying without connecting to a car loom as i no longer have my golf. many thanks.

    yeah looked like that, i took it all apart today to look at it again. seems i had the bearing in the wrong side of the rubber bush. all sorted now though cheers

    yeah it all went back on the same way it came off. the only difference is the sleeve on the top of the coilover is a little thinner than the previous ones

    Hi all, just replaced my leaky front coilovers for some blue JOM ones, i seem to have a problem though. when i lower the car down the piston comes up out the top of the turret and protrudes so much that i can not sht the bonnet. i put them on the same way i had my old ones on but now this has happened??? any ideas guys cheers

    They are £113 plus vat from GSF or £118 plus vat from Euro carparts. they normally have them on the shelf in stock aswell, i had to buy one on saturday for my car as it was running real bad. but all is well now and has never run better

    could be the coil pack mate, try one from a known working car if you know anyone with a vr6 first though before you shell out for one..

    4 pin is for the dash guage and 2 pin for ecu. i have just changed both of mine..

    finally sorted it turns out it was the coil pack. £130 from GSF and now running good. why is it always the last thing you change seems to be the cause of the problem???? Ie changed the MAF no change both temp sensors no change although both of these were comming up on vagcom as intermitant, then finally a coil pack some £180 quid later....

    ive replaced the blue 2 pin one and still had the fault so changed the 4 pin still the same will not clear. i have checked the loom and all seems to be in order. my runs really lumpy when its warmed up i belive this is down to the ecu thinking the car is still cold an the choke is still on when the car is clearly warm, i think thats why it runs lumpy. anyone else have any thoughts or any sugestions on how to fix.

    i have changed both the 4pin and 2 pin sensors but still have the fault on vagcom.. the car runs really lumpy when warmed up in the low rev range. i have checked the loom all seems ok. im now stuck as to what it could be
  11. jellsta
    yeah cant do that as it was a exchange old for new at GSF.. such is life
  12. jellsta
    cheers for the reply mate, i have changed both the 4 pin sensor and the 2 pin. reading lots on here seems to be pointing me towards a new coil pack me thinks. shame i have just bought a new MAF when it proberly wasnt needed.

    my car is running really lumpy in the low rev range, worse when it warmed up. i have changed the plugs leads, vagcom the car said collant temp switch was intermitant and air flow sensor was intermitant . changed them both still no change although faults have not come back on vagcom. i have removed the coilpack to inspect no visable signs of any cracks and looks in good condition. i am running out of ideas as to what it could be. car was running bad before plug and lead change so thought it was that.. any sugestions as to what else to look into would be helpfull.... :-(

    hi i have vagcom my car and had the following fault, coolant temp sensor intermitant. does anyone know where it is located on the engine and how much to replace it. many thanks sorry its for a OBD1 1994 VR6....i have been looking on here and looks like there are 2 types one for the ECU and one for the guages. my guage is working fine so presume its the ECU one.
  16. jellsta
    what temp sensor did u replace was it the coolant one?? as mines running like yours and have changed plugs leads and MAF. VAG com comes up with coolant temp sensor intermitant. could this make the engine run lumpy??
  17. jellsta
    have this error on Vagcom, is this a easy fault to or part to replace?? many thanks
  18. jellsta
    yeah see what you mean but gonna have to go with it until i can track the problem down at the weekend. just need to get it through so i can tax it as its been off the road for a year.
  19. jellsta
    I will do as soon as get it on VAG COM at weekend as i dont fancy being without it, will it pass an MOT with this bodge though? ive just changed the rear discs and pads so problem is prob in that area as was fine until i changed them.
  20. jellsta
    hi there my car has just failed mot because ABS light stays on. i have read you can wire it up to the airbag light so it comes on with the ignition and goes out when the air bag light goes off, which i have done. i cant remeber if it is working correctly they go out at the same time or not, and if it will pass a retest like this ? i just need to get it through so i can then get hold of VAG COM from a friend and find the problem.. Oh the joys of ABS many thanks
  21. jellsta
    I take no one has had this problem them?? i just dont know how its getting there or where from.
  22. jellsta
