  3. New free auction site - http://www.motobid.co.uk

    in General Chat

    Posted

    Hi All

    I've just started a new auction site which gives you a free basic listing and very reasonable final value fees. A friend of mine who owns one of the biggest motorcycle breakers in the UK was complaining how expensive ebay was so I decided to throw something together! I'm hoping it should grow quite quickly and would appreciate you taking the time to have a look at it and maybe even list your ads on there (hey, the listing is free and the FVF are cheaper than ebay's so what do you have to lose?)

    Any suggestions in making the site more user friendly are greatly appreciated!

    Remember, if your item doesn't sell - you don't lose a penny!

    Also, a voucher code to get all the upgraded listing features for free: aa34c6c0c53f

    Thanks!

  9. Brake/ABS Bleeding... Can ABS be done manually?

    in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering

    Posted

    Ah sorry mate, I may have confused you a bit; the ABS can only be bled through the VAG-COM electronically as far as I am aware. I originally throught my problem was to do with this after bleeding all calipers, as it turned out I'd just missed a bleed valve on the hose connected to the brake fluid reservoir which has about 6mm head, bled that as you generally would and my brake pedal was firm again!

  12. Brake/ABS Bleeding... Can ABS be done manually?

    Hi All

    Have just recently replaced my rear bushes (won't be doing that job again in a hurry...) and decided to replace all my rear brake hoses too, The problem is that I can't seem to get the brakes bled at all! They feel firm until the car is started then they go to sh*t. Another problem I have is that my ABS is more temperemental than my missus and as a result, I cannot get my vag-com to speak to it in order to bleed the ABS. The VAG-COM (ebay job) comes back with "Too many communication errors" which is extremely helpful.

    I notice there are bleed valves on the ABS, can I bleed them manually at alland if not, do you know how I can get around the "Too many communication errors" problem?

    Thanks for having the patience to read my rambling post and your help is greatly appreciated!

  14. Car doesn't start too well, fuel non-return valve?

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted

    Hi All

    I have been doing some diagnostics on a problem i've had for about 2 years and never sussed, the car can take about 20-30 secs to start when cold and is a pain in the arse,

    I have tested the fuel pressure with a gauge today and noticed that the pressure drops over the course of an hour or so which makes me think it's some kind of non-return valve. The only problem being... I'm not sure where the valve is, is it part of the pump?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  17. Window won't go back up, is there a manual way?

    in I.C.E, Security an Electrical

    Hi all

    As a number of members have mentioned, I am also have problems with my passenger window. For months it has worked on an off and a mate of mine decided to wind it down today only to find it won't come back up! We tried for about 3 hours, took the door card off, wiggled wires, tried to get at the motor and eventually gave up. Is there any way to manually get the window back up?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  19. [poll] Should I buy it?

    in Corrado

    Posted

    Hi all

    I've just been offered a Corrado VR6 Storm with 130k, FSH. Minor damage to rear + front, front just requiring a respray with back end having a few dents + needing a respray too. Cat 1 alarm, and engine seems to be sweet along with electrics. 9mths MOT and TAX.

    Asking price to me is £2000, how much do you think something like that is realistically worth? (bearing in mind i'll maybe have to spend £500 on it)

    Cheers in advance

  20. T4 turbo kit for just over a monkey!

    in Engine Tuning

    Posted

    Have found what seems to be a bargain on the U.S. ebay, for an insane moment I thought about buying it myself, the seller has said he would be willing to post to UK and postage will be between $130-250, and UPS would be over $400, and FedEx would be about $380.

    Which could mean it's yours for £625. I personally have nfi how much they go for (maybe someone could tell me?), nor do I have the money to buy it (otherwise I might have).

    Here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUK%3A1&viewitem=&item=160110261513

    What do you think to it?

  23. Excuse my ignorance, but what is this?

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Hi all

    Have just noticed that a hose had perished badly on my VR6, not too sure what to call the thing that it is attached to or what the sensor is at the other end so i'm hoping you can help! I found what can only be described as thin wire mangled together in the outlet tube (see picture) is this normal?

    Please ignore the red circle, I stole the picture from google!
