Deako, that was a fantastic result mate, after you building it do quick - felt slightly guilty taking the prize when I beat you so slimly and all I'd done was put petrol in it!! -
Sounds a pretty good price Fabio. Just remember Elephant don't like mods, so if you intend making any changes to the car, I'd look for a specialist who can give a similar quote.
-
If the light comes on, it's disabled, so shouldn't go off! Mine's on at the moment, must sort it out - get someone with VAG-COM to read the fault code and find out what happened.
-
I thought I was excited when I got mine, but you really are!! Does it feel slow after an M3? I was following an E36 M3 the other day and he seemed to be struggling to lose me - I'm guessing the Power to Weight ratio can't be that far different!
-
Sounds like Dusty Mauve. Sorry, don't know the paint code.
-
Gayness.
-
That is an amazing daily driver!
-
Get some Kiwi Shoe Dye on those faded plastic bits to get them back to a permanent shiny black - will really tidy up the looks!
-
Open Filter (Ramair) and Remus here and it sounds much like that!
-
I used the ecp ones on my GTI and they lasted next to no time. The VW ones are worth paying the extra!
-
Definitely - get some proper cars in there for a change!! Think we can do without the cheesy pics of the owners that all RR day features seem to have though!
-
Mr Fish that looks absolutely feckin lovely! I don't think you can beat RX2's on a Mk3 Golf, they just look so right!
-
Did the quote include the damage done by the recovery company? How much was that element of it? Surely there's potential to claim against them.
-
If Drivers aren't helpful I would imagine you might have some facility to complain to Powerflow themselves, as they authorise the dealers.
-
Who's quoting 2k to fix it? If that's a proper quote for an insurance company, it'd cost a lot less if you did as much yourself as possible and used 2nd hand parts where possible?
-
I never take mine past half throttle or 3000 revs, and preferably 2000 revs until the oil temp is up to 65 degrees, as I understand that's when the engine can be considered to be up to working temperature. I usually warm it up by driving it very gently rather than sitting at idle, unless it's been really really cold when I usually let it idle for a minute or two first.

Colleagues who blame anything - the weather, the dog, the computer system - anything, other than themselves when they haven't done what you've asked them to do!
-
Take it back and make them sort it. The whole point of a Powerflow exhaust is it's custom built to fit the car, and clearly they haven't managed this! I had a Powerflow centre section on my GTI which fitted perfectly and has never caused any issues - they certainly didn't need to do anything to the rear axle to fit it!
-
The 40 mph club - these people drive at 40 whether it's an open road or through town past a school, and therefore clearly have absolutely no thought of road conditions or the traffic round them, which is immediately proven when a hazard comes their way!
-
I'll remind Steve (mk3anni) to bring his laptop!
-
Could be the fuel pump isn't kicking in immediately? So it fires but has no fuel to keep it going. Could be something to do with an immobiliser taking a second to properly deactivate so it hasn't let the fuel pump have power?
-
Sounds like Mystic Blue.
-
[moved] would I be right in saying...

Me! See my reply on your CGTI thread! -
Got a reply from the seller. Think he's a little annoyed with the number of people asking this, so don't anyone else ask him! Reply: Can you bid on it and then I will waste my time telling you of my question avoiding cunning plan which has back fired orribly? The question that gets on my tits is = When was the cambelt last changed? For all of you who don't know your VR6 s this solves a problem. Howeva this back fired and I'm in undated with your question now. Cant Win. Bid on it and you have a lovely car with recent TIMING BELT CHANGES AND TOOTH CHECKS.

Probably a dirty sensor. Are you coming to the RR day? I'm sure somebody will run it on VAG-COM for you and check the fault code, then you know where to look.
