Hiya- My baby golf has picked up points! Not by ME I hasten to add.... but does anyone know the legality of this- maybe someone has experianced this. OH and I in my Golf, lights went amber but OH drove through as you do when you won't make the stop. Got pulled by police woman who was at left hand side of the juction. He got 3 points and £60 for running a red. It wasn't red! Her deduction for this was becasue a car on the other side coming the otherway form us had in fact stopped as we went through. She could NOT see our traffic light form where she was. She was on her own in the car- no came

(-stolen form Sniffpetrol.com) I had to share- Apologies if seen before.... Two new models from German car giant Volkswagen 'cancel each other out' to maintain a 'dullness equilibrium', according to a very clever man who knows these things. Dr Sporky Cognot of Ted Rogers College, Slough has been studying VW's range for 'a long time' and says that the company has long tried to balance out its interesting new cars by announcing other models of almost no interest whatsoever. 'Older readers may remember when the Corrado was launched some years back,' Dr Cognot notes. 'VW knew that it was a bit exc

I FOUND THE HOLE! Now what the f*ck is it...
The Absinthe Fairy replied to The Absinthe Fairy's topic in Interior
yep- air con and no mods .. -
Furthur to my wet feet thread of passager leak in footwell, I have found the hole! But don't have a clue WHAT it is- any ideas> In the footwell on the far back panel opposite the passanger chair, In top right hand corner before bottom of dash starts, there is a cut hole with a pipe running through. This pipe comes from the inside going to the outside engine space. When I press that pipe, or the seal around it, water comes out. Please don?t let that be anything to do with the heater matrix. !amazed Xwet fairyX

Where is air con drain?
The Absinthe Fairy replied to The Absinthe Fairy's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Than you for the reply- Oh no I was acting on Corrado/jetta forum advice and was just beginning to think maybe this aint gonna be expensive... It is curious because water and oil temps all fine ( 90 and 90-100) and coolant level just above max! It hasn't rained all weekend so it can't be a rain or car wash leak. But mat was pretty sodden on about 50% of it -dried up now and no sign of more so far. I guess i have the first in-door VR6 swimming pool. xcx -
Hi Just a quick one- anyone know where the air con drain is- need to check it as suspect for my footwell dampness. xclaireX

Big Puddle in passenger foot-well
The Absinthe Fairy replied to The Absinthe Fairy's topic in Interior
I've had it suggested that the "scuttles" may be blocked? And that if it was heater matrix windows would steam up. WEhat do you think? Whats a scuttle Also the sunroof channel may be blocked? Surely it would have had to rain for that to be a problem? STAMPS FEET UP AND DOWN- TEDDY THROWN IN CORNER Corrado club have suggested it is air con drain blocked? xcx [ Edited Mon Aug 02 2004, 01:49PM ] -
Big Puddle in passenger foot-well
The Absinthe Fairy replied to The Absinthe Fairy's topic in Interior
Coolant is fine- we thought if it was heater matrix there would be indication in water or oil temp or coolant levels- but all fine ( water 90, oil 90-100) Hasn't rained all weeknd , no car washing, no empty drink bottles in footwell It's dried up now- going to keep a good eye- maybe just was freak occcurance....? -
Yikes! Anyone know what could be the cause of a BIG wet puddle in the passanger foot well? Had air con on all day, but I thought that was on gas? Or could it be heater matrix??? Please has anyone else found this before? A very upset fairy

Exhaust back box
The Absinthe Fairy replied to The Absinthe Fairy's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Found a Sportex backbox-m anyone know if that is any good. ALso- if spec says it fits mk3 Gti can I assume it fits mk3 vr6 as well? Hope that aint too daft a question....? [ Edited Tue Jul 27 2004, 12:20PM ] -
I still have the ugly exhaust poking out of the back of my car and would really appreciate any suggestions as to which back box I could put on- I can't really afford the expense or insurance of putting full system all through- and I have no clue about exhausts Has anyone put one on or know of an idiots guide? xcx

The stand entrance the letter says use is the Competitor/Paddock entrance which is after the main entrance- there is a layby on the right hand side of the road between the two entrances that we could all meet in? Ohh-can't wait!! xcx -

First day of being insured on Mitsubishi GTO- Pulled out S-L-O-W-L-Y into main street.

WHOOOSH- moved like a chav on hearing it's 50% off Burberry today.- ( note to self- wait for it to warm up- this aint no Ford Ka- sorry honey) 10 mins later I am foiled- just like a Darlik meeting it's arch-enemy the stairs -GTO meets it's own Nemesis- THE SPEED BUMP. Used the Power of Grayskull to defeat Speed Bump- ( I AM She

Do you know The Hungry Horse pub/restaurant? The petrol station opposite it now has a jet wash AND rollers. Its on Rowden Hill on the way into central Chippenham. Coming from Sainsburys' date=' over the roundabout with the Pheasant pub, and its just under the railway bridge. It is fairly new, they only used to have rollers. [ Edited Wed Jul 14 2004, 10:34AM ']
