  1. If you pull back the carpet on the rhs of the boot - that's where the right hadn lamp cluster earths. I added a new earth there to help with the same problem on my 97 VR and it's better but not right so tomorrow I'm going to try another earth on the LHS cluster and see if that helps
  2. When my coil pack went, I had zero fault codes on VAGCOM
  3. All sorted now - got a BERU coilpack complete from Eurocarparts and some new leads and it's flying again Thanks for your help
  4. Thanks for the reply - I've just taken the coil off to clean the cam sensor and there's a smacking great chunk out the bottom of the coil pack Anyone round the chester area got a coil for a ph2 they want to sell ASAP!!!
  5. Hi all, can't fathom this out on my OBD2 Golf - i've got a missfire all through the rev range. it's noticeable at idle and I've put it on VAGCOM with 0 fault codes being thrown up... The coil pack has a very small crack in it but it started missfiring when it was idling at the garage (I was putting air in the tyres). The plug wires are fairly inflexible so was going to change them but dont have the time to risk that it's just this... Does it sound like it's wires? TIA
  6. Have you cleaned the battery terminals so they are very clean?
  7. dont look nowt dodgy with that!
  8. Do you know it's reg? I can check if it's cat d etc
  9. If it's bottom end, chuck some new bearings in it - they are cheap and quite often get you going again. Not perfect, but at least you can drive it
  10. I got given some purple G12 from eurocarparts ?????
  11. Had a go at fixing a badly painted rear bumper today - here's a few pics - got some 2000 grit wet & dry paper, then polished it up with a rotary
  12. I'll post a pic of my obd1 one - see if we can visually see the differences
  13. Does anyone know if the lower inlet manifold is the same from OBD1 to OBD2?
  14. Tinted the orange from the top to be smoke like the reversing light
  15. Mine's a 97 and defo has the buzzer. Heated mirror info here (only works in IE) http://volkswagen.msk.ru/electro/g3/g3_wd79_heated_outside_mirrors.pdf http://volkswagen.msk.ru/electro/g3/g3_wd87_heated_outside_mirrors_fr_96.pdf

  17. LED bulbs can be got from www.ultraleds.co.uk but I've experienced their service to be a bit shoddy sometimes. You may be fine though

    Just about to hit 100K
  19. I'm trying to insulate my inlet manifold as much as possible from the heat transfer via the lower manifold... So I made a couple of gaskets from cork and then tried nitrile. I then got a k-type thermocouple out and taped them to the back of the gasket and put it on the radiator (which was at 60C) to see how much heat came through... I found that both cork and nitrile were 10 degrees cooler than the metal gasket, but both maintained a temperature of 50 deg C... even when I doubled the thickness of the cork gasket, it eventually reached 50C, alebit it took longer to do it... In conclusion, anyon
  20. There's a set of them on autotrader.co.uk's front page
  21. I'd pay more than book price for a car that's had an owner for the last 14 years... Well commendable
