  1. Not sure it is this tho. I'll try it. If not I'm think ht leads or plugs
  2. While i was checking out fault codes etc on the VR i noticed that at around 1500rpm the revs hunt up and down, kinda like a little misfire. and when the revs dip there is a fairly harsh vibration. it idles perfectly smooth and above 2k it doesnt seem to be that bad but maybe just less noticible No fault codes and i recently replaced MAF with a brand new one any suggestions welcome Ill also be linking a video shortly (no sound tho sorry) oyWyIfp73rs
  3. car felt like a right slug the last few days but the only fault code i hade was 00668 terminal 30 low voltage im not sure if this is just cos i had the battery off for 10 mins the other day but i cant really see why this would cause the car to run bad?? any suggestions welcome
  4. I'm using de ionized water. Quite cheap from halfrauds an g13 from my local vw supplier. Deionised water is just to reduce furring in the system. It's not a must but it will prolong the life of the coolant system
  5. really looking forward to this, gonna be good to meet everyone an see so many vr's on the rollers
  6. when it says vag com does that mean he will be running live diagnostics during run so you can see that all your lambda an maf outputs are correct etc?
  7. if there was oil internally wouldnt you see some sort of sign of it through the exhaust?
  8. ive got this system its what we use to call the "pikey" tune up Rag the **** off it for a few mins and it will definately feel a bit more "eager" as you say pete, itd be nice to see some figures before an after
  9. That was in winter an I poured a boiling kettle down the door edge an over lock. Might not help you today but it my loosen something u never know
  10. Very odd that the key doesn't unlock it. As that would not require the pump. Unless the latch has seized I've had that on one door
  11. ah right i must have glazed over that one cos i thought id read most of the common faults i may have a poke about sometime if im bored
  12. When I use to drive an Audi everyone moved over but everyone hates letting golfs past. I find it quite amusing
  13. Mine sounds tappy but from the driver side, but everyone who ever listened to it just said it was nothing serious lol
  14. That exige was not happy being stomped by a mk2 golf was he lol
  15. i definately need to learn this 2 bucket wash malarky!!! my interior is a nightmare with 2 kids! there now banned from eating in the car
  16. im thinking sneaky day off work dont tell the mrs then come bug you guys if you dont mind
  17. put the key in the ignition today and turned to 2nd stage (not cranking stage) puff of smoke came from the cowling, scared the hell out of me.....but then that was it My first guess would be the ignition switch arcing? what u reckon?
  18. Thanks mate, i must admit i know what you mean. it felt like the tcut was a complete waste of time I think i learned quite alot from my attempts and will certainly make an even better job of it next time. Didnt quite get that "glass" finish i was after!
  19. And lastly a Club stand pic and me looking like a fool in my dream car
  20. Then some of the other dubs from around the show Reason for the engine bay pic was that its on a P reg mk3 VR6 with coil pack but an OB1 throttle body??? Is this cos they have done a 2.9 Inlet mod?? im confused The Raddo has just been rebuilt an the guy who owns it runs the local VW spares Shop (my new best friend)
  21. Thought id share my pics from my day out at a car show. Not to many pics cos i had 2 kids to look after First up my car of course It got a few looks and comments so im pleased
