    Cheers for the info Stig.

    Its funny, he made out like he had forgotten there was money owing but its all good now, his wife just this second paid it off. That was after first saying he would pay it off in front of me when I bought the car but I wasn't keen.

    No s**t mate, definitely a marked difference between this forum and that one!
  4. Split-Personality
    Appreciate your input there mate, I rang the finance company themselves and they said they still have money due on the car. Figured I would give it one more try towards the end of the week, hopefully allowing any necessary admin to have taken place. If he said he has paid it, I want that proven as true before dealing with him.

    Its a mine field out there, the one that came up with HPI owing on it. I checked today and unless he sent a cheque he was talking rubbish! Saw an R32 yesterday, told the owner I wished to see it from a cold start he said no problem it hadn't been driven since 9:00am. Strange then there was so much heat in the engine bay and the heaters blew hot air the very second I started the car...... Don't mind paying top dollar for the car, just want it to be 100% if I do so.

    Thanks a lot guys! He says he has paid it off now so will check the car again after a few working days.

    I have been arranging to look at an R32, couple of worries have come forward though. In the advert he said he was the second owner but HPI check said he was the third. He explained this as due to the fact the first owner had it for such a little time. Said when I saw the log book etc I would see there was nothing to worry about. Secondly, he told me today he has £2k owing on the car that he will pay off in front of me the moment I buy it. Interesting he didnt mention any of this before I said I had run an HPI check? Is this warning sirens, a dead cert walk away.............? Cheers, Split

    As it goes im looking at a mk4, will the 409.1 be able to check that?
  9. Split-Personality
    Cheers, will ask him the question. Do you think my cheap 409.1 can check the ECU miles?

    Hi guys, I'm in the process of looking at new cars, thought it would be good to be able to check for fault codes on the test drive. Is that the done thing though?
  11. Split-Personality
    Car has seen over 2k off me in the last 5 weeks.... words don't describe how f**t off I am!

    Oil pump failure whilst on the motorway this weekend, all the fecking work I had done ruined. No warning on the dash, just hideous noises once it was too late. Happy days!
  13. Split-Personality
    Cheers mate, appreciate that! Going to attempt to replace it without draining the coolant. Didnt want to find out its not the right seal when its too late.
  14. Split-Personality
    Bump, anyone know if this is the right seal?
  15. Split-Personality
    I have a, intermittent engine coolant temp sensor warning on my VAG Com. Replaced this part once before on my mk2 GTi but cant remember what the seal looked like? The guy at ECP wasn't sure if they had the exact right o ring in. How does this one look? Cheers!

    Read some threads talking about remaps, do you need one after the decat? Already have the pipe, just havn't fitted it. Got a few lambda sensor warnings now so I figured I might do it all at once...
  17. Split-Personality
    Haha, no worries boys I am going to become a fully paid up member. Do you want to take it down Tony?
  18. Split-Personality
    Hi guys, had a couple of lambda warnings come up. Did a search on here a few times could not find a definitive list, so here they are for those who have the cheapy 409.1 that doesn't give out much info. http://www.airbagnews.com/PDF/Fehlercodes%20VAG%20english.pdf Sorry if it is a repost or in wrong section.

    Would you agree there isn't much of a power gain Craggsy?

    3 weeks after my spark plug incident I am back on the road, thank god! Replaced head, new cam chains, guides & tensioner, plugs, water pump, new clutch and a new air filter for good measure. Feels so much more responsive at lower revs, have not given it much past 5000 revs yet but its running so sweetly thus far. Thanks a lot to all that contributed to the thread and for the PMs.

    The local garage said they'd take 900 off me to take the cylider head off and then replace it once a helicoil had been put in. This was for labour and new gasket and parts etc.
  23. Split-Personality
    Cheers for you help this far guys, I live in Cambridge. The most I have ever done on a car is replace a front bumper. Fix a dodgy ABS sensor.... really don't think I can get the head off myself.

    Hi Guys, Have been lurking on the forum for quite some time, not usually the quiet type but am pretty new to this VR6 ownership malarky. Countless times though I have done google searches and you guys have come up in results spreading the knowledge, so thanks for that. I did do a search but couldn't locate any info quickly, apologies if it is a re-post. I have an 'N' reg OBD2 VR6, pretty much standard apart from coilovers, Vibra Technics engine mounts and a Milltek s/s exhaust. Since finding out my front engine mount was dead and replacing all three with the Vibras she was running beautifully!
