  1. If your paint is metalic, they won't be able to repair the scratch, they will have to respray the entire panel/s. I know this as I asked the question to a repair man due to scratches on my Audi
  2. Well what a week I'm having............... Firstly my son loses his mobile at VW Action, second my car has to be recovered on the way back from Action. Then when I get home from work today, I'm told I have a phone bill from my son for the month of August to the grand total of £187!!!!!!! He's got 300mins (5 hrs) a month, so he uses 13.3hrs instead!!!!!, he has unlimited texts and only uses 257!!!!!!!! Well thats really stuffed any quick plans for my car...... little s**t And did I beat him...........??????????????????? NO, because I'm daft
  3. I was driving down the M45 and I thought god this road surface is noisy, but when I got onto smooth tarmac, the noise was still there. It was like part of the exhaust had become detached. Anyway, my mother lived local so i popped in with the thought I'll jack the car up and have a look, but on the way there, there was a power loss (car sounded like a tractor) and I was using masses of fuel. I pulled up at mothers and popped the bonnet, and there was water pouring out of the expansion tank. Called the recovery, they came out and lo and behold car was fine, no leaks no power loss and no noise, s

  12. I had also read that there was a power difference, but it seems to be disputed by near enough every one you speak to. The OBD2 seems to respond better to tuning and is supposedly quicker as a result of better electronics??!!!!!!
