    total closure is a v.a.g group feature, but if you have an alarm ftted the cat 1 alarms will usually have the facility to lock your windows and sunroof when the alarm is activated via the f.ob.

    hi there, i have a simple view on this, we all bang on about the V.R roar, blah...blah...blah. My exhaust is completely standard, had work done on the inlet, got a k & n filter, so i was pretty much expecting the exhaust to go next. now i know my car, i know its quick, i dont want to make any noise, infact if it wasnt for the performance factor i wld seriously be tempted to go o.e. my cars a daily driver and i want noise to be minimum,a mate had a £750:00, mini drager exhaust put on a civic vtech, we drove to the motorshow in birmingham, and it was like going there in a washng machine on

    i got some megaleads, put them in about 6 months ago, day before yesterday car started to misfire under abou 3000 rpm in each gear, closer inspection, and 3 of the megaleads were f***ed, metal ends stuck on the spark plugs, came apart in my hands as i tried to get them out, and i was never really happy with the feel of the silicone, the actual coil inside seemed tiny, but the main problem with them was the fitment around the spark plug. so yesterday i treated the beast to a new set of n.g.k platinum,s and a set of o.e 7mm rubber leads, and the car is running better than when it came out after

    okay, guys its no feeble excuse, i did the 3 hr drive last year cheshire becomes about 5 hrs for any one from llondon. Now obviously, there is some interest here, again i dont want to cause any offence to anyone here, but i dont want this to take 2 months to sort out, all those who are definately up for it, pls p.m me, also if you have any mates not in v.w's that wish to come along, inform me so that i can get an idea of the exact numbers, also can you guys send me the numbers to any of the r/r places you have mentioned so i can contact them. apart from that its all fairly simple, i will requ

    The above would be a great idea, mt little sister had been looking for a mk4 golf for likr 6 months ( not listrning to any of my advice, but anyone here with a younger sister will porbably know how much of a headache they can be!) so about 3 weeks ago,, she buys a 53 plate 1.4 match with climate, cost £7,000!!! The dealer wouldnt chuck in a set of mats for her ( i did tell her to tell them where to shove their £60;00 mats, but she didnt listen, 3 days after collecting the car, the front nearside track rod end starts to make a squeeking noise, the external temp sensor wasnt working, and one

    Hi there guys and girls, firstly i know there is another thread currently active regarding a rolling road day, but i have been waiting over a couple of weeks for some info regarding what is happening. and i really need to know what power my car is producing fairly soon, hence this thread. Secondly, I drove to tewkesbury from london last year, it took the best part of 3 hours, cheshire is simply too far for me, id have to leave london at 03:00 am to get there nice and early!! So i was just wondering if there are many more people around london, essex area who would be interested in attending a r

    I think you need to stop paying these charges after you get this affair sorted and either start working on your car yourself or go to a specialist.
  17. vr6newcomer
    coilpack or leads.
  18. vr6newcomer
    thankyou.

    sad day for all the motorsport world indeed....
  20. vr6newcomer
    tewkesbury is better for me, cheshire is possibly just a bit too far from london.
  21. vr6newcomer
    c.v joint noise wouldnt be only in first gear.

    i believe tim at the phirm does something very similar to what your mentioning above mate, he actually takes your factory somponent out and rewelds that, its pretty labour intensive, and if your car is a daily driver, u dont want to mess it up, he charges about £100:00 (maybe plus v.a.t)
  23. vr6newcomer
    i had a chat with tim at he phirm while hea was doing my quickshift, he said that all the n.o.z kits now are very reliable and safe, if they were not he wouldnt be running it on his red mk2 rallye, the engine build on that cost him about 10k he told me, so the last thing he eants to do is blow it up.
  24. vr6newcomer
    hi guys, my v.r may not be my everyday car for too much longer, in which case i will turbo it myself, in the meantime im considering a wet 100 shot of n.o.z, just wondering if anyone here runs noz and if there are any good suppliers around london? cheers.
  25. vr6newcomer
    £2400 should comfortably get you a highlinr mate, but a word of advice, make sure the timing chains have been done, mine blew after about 2 months of owning the car, the subsequent head rebuild and associated work cost me anothe 2k, lol. best of luck with your hunt!
