Oh forgot to say - garage I bought it from just replaced the diverter valve earlier this week.. I bet they put an oem one on there.. Wish I'd known I would of got them to put the forge one on instead!! That'll learn me for not posting on here sooner!!!!

I didn't think it would be as nimble and had no idea on the weight difference - so if I do as you outline above how much difference do you think it will make? Enough to warrant the spend? Thanks guys ;)

Well it's the same engine as my golf but don't know what the weight difference is and as I never tuned the golf I'm not sure what else was done to it apart from the exhaust upgrade As for power or comfort that's my problem really - if I start upgrading everything ill end up doing the...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I posted but knew where to come for the answer I'm looking for.. Ok just sold my golf 1.8t that had been remapped and was very quick.. Bought a girlie car audi a4 1.8t sport convertible which is lovely and smooth and doesn't break my back now that I'm an...

Hi Waynne... good to be back, I've missed you guys and spent a bit too long on 2 wheels, but back to four for a while now.. hahaha maybe she just doesn't press as hard on the accelerator as you do??

Managed to get it fixed today... had a look under the bonnet and one of the cables was dancing around under its own free will :) There is a plastic bracket at the end of the cables and it had basically snapped in half. Drove over to VW (in 3rd and 5th only) and picked up a replacement for 13...

Maybe you need to get your car checked? sounds like a dodgy reading to me :)

Hi Guys, I have just bought a Mk4 golf 1.8 T... just my luck I have had her less than a week and now I'm having problems.. Everything was fine until this evening when I did a short 5 mile journey, gear selection seemed a little sloppy but thought it could have been me and didn't think too...

Car went through the MOT this afternoon without any problems, so she now has a 12 month ticket on it :)

You would be amazed at what people will do when you see the blue lights coming up behind them! I was doing about 85mph down the fast lane of the motorway (which people forget is actually the emergency lane) I had my lights and sirens on and traffic was reasonably heavy put with plenty of room...

Hi Waynne, I have booked the car in for MOT tomorrow, if it goes straight through then great... if it doesn't then I will at least have an up to date fail sheet so anyone can see that it will have only failed on minor things and know the cost of repair. Unfortunately I can't put any money into...

Hi Waynne, Pretty sure it would be fairly easy to go through problem is I don't have the time or the money to do so... on the bones of my arse mate! as said working for the NHS im on school leavers wage! I know it would make sense to put it through, just not sure I can... I've just spent out on...

Hello all... Well I have decided to sell my beloved.. Problem is I have absolutely no idea how much to advertise her for?? I've looked on ebay etc but the prices differ quite a bit so thought I would ask here and see what you think is reasonable. She is a H reg silver GTO TT - Tax and MOT just...

Hi Mark, Thanks for your help - Just spoken to an auto factors close to home and they have it in stock :) I had a quick look on google yesterday and apparently I need to pop the headlights up, disconnect the negative terminal on the battery and then undo a few screws (not the adjuster screw...

I have a main beam light out and I'm trying to find a replacement... you would think it an easy task, but sadly no! The full beam works ok its just the main beam but main dealer said its all one sealed unit! and I'm looking at a 6 weeks wait for the part to be ordered. Can anyone tell me if...
