STORM 2

Hello there....erm...welcome.

Much as I sympathise with Coolrado, this is a little reactionary don't you think? Some people need 4x4s if they live in the country using muddy lanes as seen in the photos. I think Coolrado has more issue with the other driver's speed and post-incident behaviour rather than her vehicle per se. I hope you get everything sorted, Coolrado - you have my best wishes.

All the best.....you'll be back.

Hi Dave - do you have to have a business account with SDL to get the radiator?

Let's hope its not a deleted part eh?

I did this last week and that is not the standard cooler securing cap. See VR owner's third pic. BTW I ended up breaking off the attachment to the crack pipe, so ended up removing the whole front end to do the job properly. What is your engine code?

My dashpot was sticking, so I took it off for a clean and like a real numpty, I tore the cute little gaiter. Anyone know if these can be gotten hold of by themselves , or is it the usual VW "buy the whole engine" scenario? Cheers

Welcome Alex!

No takers? Bentley is less than useless on this one, ditto for ETKA

Unfortunately, the weekend is out with me unless I want a quick divorce, so I guess I'll check back after the jubilee to see if the above two have taken you up on their interest. If not I will arrange a time to come and pick them up as a pair. cheers Stuey

poor fella - by the looks of your avatar, it seems you too are afflicted by this phenomena. Bet it never stopped you though...

Seafar99 - that looks good where did you get that little unit from?

You heartless bunch - didn't you see the guy lost his job poor fella ;-)

is there actually any difference between the looms between models e.g. 16V/G60/VR6?

What happened Doug? Got any uptodate pics? I have to congratulate you on your expertise and hard work. it is interesting to see what has happened to my first Storm, and no-one can doubt your dedication. I would love to see it in the flesh/metal one day.....

are these still available as a pair for collection?

Even with a hosepipe ban, you can still use a bucket and a sponge ;-) And water is still fairly cheap, not like the gas/electric robbers

Always liked the 928S - similar styling to the Corrado I suppose. Anyway looks like a nice day out was had....I watched the Monaco GP before the barbecue was ignited...too hot to cook so headed off down the beach.....what a lazy get

I would echo Kev's comments on the issue of debris. Some 'high performance' brake discs seem to generate more metallic debris. I had the problem of the intermittent ABS light and went down the sensor route, but I believe VAGCOM sensor faults can indeed be down to the apertures within the rotors not being clear. When I changed my front discs and pads last week, there were several flakes of metal stuck in the holes in the front rotors and after giving them a good brush out with a wire brush and then putting on new pads and discs means the problem of the ABS light has seemingly gone. I also checked the resistance of the sensors themselves and they came out at around 1020mOhms on both sides..so I have assumed it was a problem of brake disc debris, especially when the Brembo Max 'high performance' drilled and grooved discs were badly scored unevenly on the inner sides, generating the aforementioned cr*p. Standard brake discs are now on the car.

I'll take the heater controls if Benje doesn't want them....

I would love to, but I've run out of space - I could hybridise a green and blue Storm...maybe swap the interiors...

payment sent, cheers

you're obviously recession-proof ;-)

£6 sounds great Stu, and you too lilfuzzer! The plastic cap is rectangular and grey in colour Cheers

Where's the Prof, I mean RW1, when you need him? ;-) ?
