My supercharged golf - the love affair is over, it's gone :(


Recommended Posts

right so after changing nearly everything we finally diagnosed the stalling problem as the VW immobiliser cutting the engine out !! so a quick trip to Stealth and the ECU has been repaired - so a quick 1000 mile trip to Germany and back and the car didn't miss a beat :) so happy with it right now - it's running like a dream, idles brilliantly and apart from a dodgy warm starting issue ( not a major issue) it has no problems !

So now I can concentrate on upping the power, stopping ability ( due to getting a telling off by Tony and Craig on the boat home, I have seen the light ;) ) and sorting out the couple of little bits of bodywork that need doing and getting the leather interior in that Jim kindly has stored in his garage :)

VR6 ownership is full of ups and downs !! couple of pics from Nurburgring

Woo hoo finally solved my ABS problem - turned out to be the front nearside sensor and the pump all changed and now for the first time in almost a year the ABS light is off !! :) MOT tomorrow so should be fine :o

new leather interior is in and looking lush and got a few toys lined up to go in - pics will be up this weekend after it has had a jolly good clean as it's still covered in Nurburg Campsite dust ;)

Cheers peeps :$ :)

yeah defo Martin plan to get to most of them funds allowing :)

cheers Rikki - yeah took me ages to find a vento one as was desperate for the rear bench :) will check the name of the filter but it's just a generic cone filter from Wilco put as you I am sure know with space hugely limited in that corner it's a bit of a tricky job and think the last one was just a bit too small - measured the space and got the biggest one I could fit through the headlight space !! was a complete mere putting it all back together but well worth it :)

will try and get a couple of sound clips later in the week :)

Right so then I have now pretty much collected all the little bits and bobs that I have been after :) So far got a ported, gas flowed polished head, a Raceland 6 Branch and a Miltek de-cat, upper front and rear strut braces, crystal fogs and indicators, sparco pedals and white dials :)

Also got another couple of bits but am keeping those under wraps for the moment ;) now all I need to do is get it all fitted :)
