    I might be after a front cross member if it's still up for grabs?

    Did you ever find the answer to this problem? I've had the same issue for about 3 years and tried allsorts but to no avail! Cheers

    Hi All I've just started a new auction site which gives you a free basic listing and very reasonable final value fees. A friend of mine who owns one of the biggest motorcycle breakers in the UK was complaining how expensive ebay was so I decided to throw something together! I'm hoping it should grow quite quickly and would appreciate you taking the time to have a look at it and maybe even list your ads on there (hey, the listing is free and the FVF are cheaper than ebay's so what do you have to lose?) Any suggestions in making the site more user friendly are greatly appreciated! http://www.mot

    Just below the reservoir mate, confusing both of us again but it is on the master cylinder (I've just had a look) Here is the pic:

    I couldn't do that because my VAG-COM won't talk to ABS (my ABS is fooked somewhere along the lines) it's another job to add to the list I guess!

    Yeah, after just bleeding the calipers the brakes were firm until the car fired up then they went soft, now after bleeding the reservoir everything is firm again. You having similar probs?

    Sorry mate, im being retarded - I meant to say brake fluid reservoir but i've repeatedly said master cylinder! Bleeding the reservoir is what cured it for me

    BAD POST - IGNORE

    Ah sorry mate, I may have confused you a bit; the ABS can only be bled through the VAG-COM electronically as far as I am aware. I originally throught my problem was to do with this after bleeding all calipers, as it turned out I'd just missed a bleed valve on the hose connected to the brake fluid reservoir which has about 6mm head, bled that as you generally would and my brake pedal was firm again!

    Hi all Could anyone recommend a decent & reasonably priced place to get diagnostics on my ABS done? Just got it through the MOT by pulling the LED out but would prefer it working my cheapo vag-com from ebay just gives me 'Too many communication errors' so i'm hoping a more professional vag-com might tell me what is at fault! Thanks

    Just to reply to my own question, I hadn't realised there was a bleed nipple under the brake fluid reservoir, bled that and all is sweet again!

    Hi All Have just recently replaced my rear bushes (won't be doing that job again in a hurry...) and decided to replace all my rear brake hoses too, The problem is that I can't seem to get the brakes bled at all! They feel firm until the car is started then they go to sh*t. Another problem I have is that my ABS is more temperemental than my missus and as a result, I cannot get my vag-com to speak to it in order to bleed the ABS. The VAG-COM (ebay job) comes back with "Too many communication errors" which is extremely helpful. I notice there are bleed valves on the ABS, can I bleed them manuall

    Cheers for the quick reply, the car has done 144,000 and it only really occurs when the car starts from cold, I have changed the ECT sensor and fuel pressure regulator amongst a few other things. Its more an irritation than a big problem but i've just had to get a new starter motor because of the stress it has had on that! Ta

    Hi All I have been doing some diagnostics on a problem i've had for about 2 years and never sussed, the car can take about 20-30 secs to start when cold and is a pain in the arse, I have tested the fuel pressure with a gauge today and noticed that the pressure drops over the course of an hour or so which makes me think it's some kind of non-return valve. The only problem being... I'm not sure where the valve is, is it part of the pump? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I just paid £30+VAT for a 2nd hand motor + regulator from http://www.cartransplants.co.uk the 5 door are the same as 3 door and it takes about 20 mins to fit!

    Turned out the motor was completely bust, got a new one on there and it's been fine, thanks!

    Hi all As a number of members have mentioned, I am also have problems with my passenger window. For months it has worked on an off and a mate of mine decided to wind it down today only to find it won't come back up! We tried for about 3 hours, took the door card off, wiggled wires, tried to get at the motor and eventually gave up. Is there any way to manually get the window back up? Any help is greatly appreciated!
  18. NetStable
    Yeah, i'm pretty sure it's a Cat D. The damage isn't extensive, he offered the car to me for about 3.5k a few months back, 2k sounds a lot more appealing

    Hi all I've just been offered a Corrado VR6 Storm with 130k, FSH. Minor damage to rear + front, front just requiring a respray with back end having a few dents + needing a respray too. Cat 1 alarm, and engine seems to be sweet along with electrics. 9mths MOT and TAX. Asking price to me is £2000, how much do you think something like that is realistically worth? (bearing in mind i'll maybe have to spend £500 on it) Cheers in advance

    Have found what seems to be a bargain on the U.S. ebay, for an insane moment I thought about buying it myself, the seller has said he would be willing to post to UK and postage will be between $130-250, and UPS would be over $400, and FedEx would be about $380. Which could mean it's yours for £625. I personally have nfi how much they go for (maybe someone could tell me?), nor do I have the money to buy it (otherwise I might have). Here is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUK%3A1&viewitem=&item=160110261513 What do you th

    Hi all As the title suggests, have recently fitted some black diamond brake pads but they didn't have a wear sensor attached, will this be a problem when it comes to M.O.T. time? Many Thanks - Ben
  22. NetStable
    Ok cheers buddy, will get it sorted
  23. NetStable
    Hi all Have just noticed that a hose had perished badly on my VR6, not too sure what to call the thing that it is attached to or what the sensor is at the other end so i'm hoping you can help! I found what can only be described as thin wire mangled together in the outlet tube (see picture) is this normal? Please ignore the red circle, I stole the picture from google! Any help is appreciated!

    Hi all I have ordered some new discs + pads for my 92 VR6 but am unsure where to get the ABS rings from, can anyone point me in the right/cheapest direction? Thanks
  25. NetStable
    Best I get is about 32mpg in my '92 Golf VR6, missus reckons she gets about 35. Also seem to get about 28mpg when I rag it, I like to think the car loves being ragged
