Got a phone call from them on monday (to tell me that cylinder head gasket had gone &| &| ), then wednesday (to tell me that they had removed then head, that the gasket had gone at number 6 cylinder and that, thankfully, everything else was fine ). Just back from VW garage, because they are busy I won't get the car back till Monday.

Drove about 3 miles this morning and the water temp went from 90 (normal) to 110. Pulled over and waited for 10 min, drove away and the same thing happened. Pull over popped the bonnet and the water was bubbling away. Locked the car up and got it towed to my local VW garage (no service at weekends ~ ). Have to wait till monday to find out whats up. &| Any ideas why it is overheating? (cheapest ideas first please ) The car had been running fine prior to this.

Fitted the TT pedals a couple of days ago. Had no problems with the clutch or brake pedals but I have a question regarding the LH acc pedal. When fitting it, it seemed a little to long for the pedal. I have driven about without any problems. Checked vagparts website again and the RH and LH pedals both have the same order no., but the LH pedal is slightly longer and wider (and cheaper?). Should the pedal be a tight fit? Was the pedal a tight fit for everyone else? ?!

Just back from a trip to see a mate over at Loch Lomond. Filled the car with BP Ultimate(82.0p) before heading off and reset the MFI (pos.2).

I recently switched to BP Ultimate, this is the third time I have filled and feel the car runs better and have noticed a marked improvment in throttle response, but am
