years and years ago i had a mk2 16v with was a little beast, took it some random car show down weston super mare were there was RR setup. Put my car on and came out with 100.1 bhp! not 3 weeks before it was lapping the ring in just over 10mins. Kicked up a fuss and got my money back!!! vid of one of my laps http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1104245074992571959#

theres a auto sat in a scrap yard south of bath, looks very tidy too

what a week, didn't get it in for a mot till thursday where it was highlighted to me the true amount of rust in the floor of this thing! new inner and outer sill on drivers side and inner sill on pasangers side plus nearly all the drain hold are bad. So today i have removed the interia again , front bumper and drivers wing, removed all the side skirts and all the wax oil off the underside. am now ready to hit it with the grinder ;(

didnt make it to the monday mot or the tuesday one ether but its now ready so its in first thing today.

iv not been on hear for some time after selling my mk3 golf vr6 and needing a bigger car with the 3rd kid on the way.. after owning some other 'family' cars me and the wife realised we were kidding areselfs so the hunt started for another vr. this is my old one I found this on pistonheads with a very poor rightup but i had a hunch so went to have and had a look 93k miles, climate control, alarm, full stainless lowered 40mm and a full service history. taking delivery strip down and a clean up fag ash everywhere so carpets out for a good scrub up oh no!!!! but no worry il have that sorted t

what sort of vag com are you lot using? its just im using a mates code reader and all the info it gives me is the code....so how do i know if its short to ground or others???? Iv asked a mate that works in a MOT center and he's bringing home the Snap-on lap top code reader thing so hope it can explain a little more.

(

well fck knows what it is! iv tested the wires to the lambda......all good took the inlet ,tb and all the pipework off last night gave it a good clean and put it all back togeather......STILL getting the 2 codes pop up. not sure what to do next......got a mate with a snap-on dio kit so give that a go.

Same here! My daughter is 4 and knows all the main parts of an engine bay' date=' tells me to put my foot down and to have 2 hands on the stearing wheel at all times...my son is 2 and plays with pushchairs :-| [img']http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/tonk1/6120_113098094864_601829864_2084011.jpg But no bother as were expecting are 3rd in november, we know its a boy(just like his dad :-p ) the go-kart saving fund is up and running.

Just thinking...... Is there a gasket for the inlet manifold? My inlet has been on and off that engine more times then i care to remember il but my money on it being there but whats the best way to sort it? with instant gasket or a relacment one?

Didn't think OBD II had a IAC?

yep.....what you said^^^^^^^^^ So im gonna take the TB off at the weekend and give it a clean but is it true i shouldn't use carb cleaner?? Also degreece all the little breather pipes that are on and around that area.

done all that mate still no joy I am getting another code now 533 with means i have a air leak on the inlet..... so when it stops raining im tacking it all off and cleaning it up.

was it or is it still satin silver? My mates got one in satin silver, is an awsome colour but his too has bad rust on all arches. I like your thinking with keeping it origanal and not deleting everything.........10/10!

Black Magic LC9Z + a bit of red that some fcuk has added to my rear bumper
