you get stage 2 for free as it were at the moment because of the exchange rate £2 to $1 Yay... There are a couple of stickys talking about this and tuning etc.... look in the engine tuning section at the top. Do the chains! Also becsue of the extra stress look at your water pump and alternator. the new belts put a lot more strain on them so they can fail/follow quite quickly! You have to run the charger in so take a trip to Stealth to run it in and then enjoy the trip back via the fast road Just do it soon you'll wonder why you waited

don't forget to write to VW Headoffice. If they have enough complaints they can have their franchise removed...

Well someone else started a thread on here about lots of cars for sale.. So I thought I'd take a look. I feel that this time of year people have come back of holidays and are ready for a change. The winter is coming look out the window and see that's true..... Dak not long after 1900hrs So I thought what could we all snap up... Here's the link for ebay and here are a few worth getting for tha parts alone at that price.... http://motors.search.ebay.co.uk/vr6_Cars_W0QQfromZR34QQsacatZ9801 Zender and bits with no reserve shown in 20hours..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1995-VW-GOLF-VR6-Pearl-Green-

Well for my 2p worth..... More high profile officers - catch 'em before they start More Helicopters - that way Police can be co-ordinated rather than having to chase. Better Technology - Radios that connect directly rather than different frequencies being relayed from the HQ. A Persuit channel if you like Rocket launcers for the helicopter so the TWOCers think twice. I like the fact that we still have the force without firearms It annoys me that it is the police fault that they had to chase an idiot and someone ends up dead. It is not the police fault the idiot took the car...... We have t

Will be interesting to see as the ambient is also much lower and if you have no more issues in October. Is the pump a much higher flow rate?? Phat VR6, Don't mean to teach you to suck eggs here ..... This is a simple explanation. If you want more ask and one of us will fill in the blanks...as you can appreiciate I have simplified it .... Detonation refers to the point at which the fuel air mix ignites. As you can appreciate it is a mini explosion and so as this happens it causes the piston to be thrown away quite violantly. We want to try and control that. Everytime it happens sensors ca

Have a read in the members section Ben.... Brakes should be ok for 250-300bhp depens how you drive Exhaust wise you will need 2.5" all the way through and a CAT for the charger so you dont eat it regular like ! or DeCat of course. Temperatures run low enough to run without Cooler and Water if you just do Stage 2 however you build in reliability with lower temps so..... the oil cooler helps. Water just adds that extra bit of comfort in the summer or hard driving on a track. intercooler is not needed until you go stage 3 or turbo. Remember the intercooler takes power off your BHP. Makes se

I must admit I was very pleased :-p . Actually in need of a re-spray when you see it in real life.. thanks to those people in the car parks and a TW*T and his blade on the quater panel as he walked down the road :@ Cheers tho' folks...

Well me and the old polishing rag have been out this day and I finally thought I'd share my baby with you. Still a work in progress but getting there [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1189876435_4100_FT0_dsc00100.jpg][/lightbox] [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1189876435_4100_FT0_dsc00101.jpg][/lightbox] [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1189876435_4100_FT0_dsc00102.jpg][/lightbox] [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1189876435_4100_FT0_dsc00103.jpg][/lightbox]

Assuming it's not your alarm of course

You can use that as a sub standard work (Not fit for purpose) and ask them to complete it to the expected level. You can report them to VW and use VW headoffice complaint procedure. VW may help you especiallly as you are a member of an owners club and have "a wide circle of friends". The stealer must inform you of the escallation process (ISO9000). Don't turn up in ripped jeans etc... Did you sign anything to say you agreed to their terms and conditions??? If not send a letter saying you are only prepared to accept the job done under your personal tems and conditions. (contract law) and

Yes they make a huge difference. The extra heat eats the CATS so you need to be ready for that. Yes you can add as you go/funds allow. As with all these things the sooner the better In the premium section (Costs you £10 & the best you will ever spend) there are walk throughs. Dont forget to do brakes as you will need to stop quicker...

OK.... My little brag. I have driven the vanquish....... All cars should be made like it - the sound and the looks you get... Come on lucky numbers....
-
Well wheels and suspension are a given you may have to play with the offset and arches a little more if you are going low. I've seen nuff surf wagons on the deck. Not sure on a charger but may be worth a look at a std one and see how much room you need. I figure you may have to get the pipes made but thats still only gonna be £350 & £200 for a high flow CAT. can give you some names if you need let us know how it goes. Maybe start a thread as you go and discover the truth.... Oh and Are you ODB1 or 2??? you may have that BHP anyway Good luck

Interesting..... If I read it correctly then you only get a fault code generated if all are retarded. So you can have an individual cylinder retarded and not know about it. Well if we assume that the 2 cylinders next to the charger (heat source) are retarded then that would still run and just have the power (kinda) of 4 not 6 correct?? until the knock count comes down then all would be back to normal. I dont suppose you have a running log do you to see if a couple or more cylinders were altered...???? Do you use this car only as a track day car??? I was wondering if you get the issue if
-
was a bit shocked at that....
-
MMmmmmmm that all sounds as it should be. (except the last bit ) With it still being smooth it does sound like it is being controlled correctly .. Can anyone else confirm for us if the engine has a kinda safe mode when knock gets too high??? If it does what does it do???

Electroinc Noise when Changing Gear
rodney replied to Andy Mac's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
robotic gear change arm needs service????? Do you mean you hear noise through the stereo or is it more like a vibration coming through the car??? -
I have had a chat with the Phirm and Stealth and e by gum there's a difference in price. £170 and 2 hours labour from the phirm and £270 and 4 hours labour from Stealth...... Bit of a shock that.... Both are branded.... I think the Phirm one has to be the right option.....

rather than whip the head off -- check your compression and if you can get the use of one of those sniffer things you use on the expansion tank (checks for CO2) then that may save you some work or at least confirm... Are you using water at all??? Speaking of water i just reviewed a little.......What is your mixture in the aquamist and does it run always or only come on at certain pressure??? Also how retarded is the engine running?? (could be on the edge and is detonating premature if you see what I mean...) WHen the engine looses power does it kinda die or is it more like a misfire when you a
-
Great to see some progress being made Just sort of thinking out loud here so bear with me. When the heater is turned on it takes heat from the water system which would indicate that the water is running hot. That said the numbers on the PC sound great. The fuel goes in at the front and the heat source is at the left (AS you look from the front) and the rear.... The water is taken into the heater matrix on the right rear (AS you look from the front) so this would still hint at temperature still being the cause. The running of the heater would drop the engine temperature enough to allow d

Nice one thank you... Any alterntes before I spend my hard earned ????
