  1. Hi All, I have another leak and i think its coming from the the bottom of the radiator or what looks like a metal rod running along the bottom of the rad. Can some please confirm for me if this rod is connected tot eh cooling system and it comes with a new rad if purchased? Cheers,
  2. Hmm, i read nothing nothing but good things about it?! also if it fixes the problem i will replace the rad anyway, i just need a quick fix as i need the car for work
  3. ok thanks guys for your help, will give this is ago, if i get stuck i will get the garage to do it on monday when it goes in for a serivce... Think i have another small leak LOL this time i lost around 1cm of water on the way to work, i think its the rad, so going to try radweld and see if that fixes the leak, if it does then i know i need a new rad
  4. Right, today i have fixed a water leak i had, was coming from the expansion tank, so i bought a new one and fitted it, new coolent in and took it our for a drive, running sweet now.. Will post pics of old tank was in abit of a state lol
  5. Thanks Ian, But i have bought a new expansion tank today and fitted it, seems to have cured the water leak problem, so far so touch wood thats all it is! Paul, thanks for the write up mate, really appreciate it, maybe a silly question but when i remove the sender im not going to get loads of petrol flying out am i? i will give cleaning it ago at the weekend, if that doesn't work i think ill get a new one.
  6. Thanks Guys, were would i locate the fuel level sender? Easy job to replace?
  7. if its less than 24 hours then no or if there has been a bid on the item
  8. Where did you get it from matey? i fancy getting a nice new one myself
  9. I cant wait picking my copy up tomorrow it will be all worth the wait when you can go round the top gear test track
  10. Could be that the pressure has has pushed open the seems, however i did think they are double skinned so not 100% sure on that?!
  11. Right, so i hope its a dodgy sensor then, thanks for putting my mind at ease, are they easy to fit? where abouts are they located?
  12. Right iv got a definite water leak, either from the thermostat housing or the radiator pipe going to the top of the radiator. So this will be done upon service on monday. However this still does not explain the petrol situation, iv just filled it to the top as when i got to the station the needle was on empty, now it cost me £30 to fill to the top, is this the normal going rate? if not then i think i may have a dodgy sensor?! All opinions/advice wanted please....
  13. Checked oil, that's all ok... It didnt seem to run perfect when the water light came on but did still run decent
  14. Hi All, Im after everyone's or anyone's advice ASAP. On the way home from work i noticed abit of steam coming out of the grill so i pulled over and had a look, couldn't see anything so thought id have a closer look when i got home, on the way the water light came on and from my work to home (3miles ish) the petrol needle wen from just under 1/4 of a tank to near empty. So i check the expansion tank, its empty, so iv taken it off to clean then re fill to check for leaks, i cant see any wet areas? May be a stupid question but, does the engine burn more fuel when there is virtually no water? iv a

  17. Well here i am back in another VR6, i have to say i missed my old one but it had to go it would of cost loads of money to repair all the bits, so after that i bought a Porsche 944 drove it for around 6months but wasn't satisfying me, so i then moved onto a mk2 Gti, again a lovely car but just lacking the roar and power, so i placed it on ebay, and someone contacted me who wanted to swap his VR6 for the mk2, at this point i was all in, anyway here's the in between cars; Old VR: Porsche 944: Mk2 Gti: And now the new VR6, as it came to me after a good clean: Got a few plans for this, t
