mat ed30

Stayed in lake Garda a few years did like you drove over great trip and enjoyed driving through the tunnels they filmed James Bond in

Came with the car my mate bought them a while ago God knows how much they are worth these days

Next job today was to sort out my fogs as I had a stone hit mine and destroy it so managed to pick some up off a forum member so fitted it and it would not work at all so tried another bulb still nothing so thought I would see if the bulb was getting any power and it was getting nothing :scratch: cleaned everything and still nothing so plugged in the original fog light and it worked :scratch: so matched that with the new fog light

If it's about cars I don't care who does it and it's funny too but Chris Harris could do the driving as that's what he can do plus he likes to mess about too. But like I said if it's about cars I will watch it

A bit frustrating but £40 got me sorted So now all fits So nice £60 oil change ish lol

Well set about doing the oil change yesterday to drop the oil filter out to find out my vw filter did not fit for some reason my engine has this type of filter housing Looking at it I am sure this is wrong and is this from a later vr6 engine ? I noticed a crack in the cage anyway so I thought I best check at vw what my engine should have I thought mine should have had this style fitted Got lucky vw was showing 1 available so it came today but noticed on collecting it the bolt that goes into the bottom is taller so stuck that on order too £12 for a bolt wtf

Currently out in it at the mo mate well loads better than it was with the dead shockers lol

Thanks Ian could not have done it without your help mate thank you

Stock caps Others versions Seems loads better time for a test drive

Little update I thought as I had new suspension and bushes ready to go on I might as well strip the old lot out to see how bad or good they are. Once stripped it was clear to see all the shock absorbers are dead and had been for some time as when compressed even a small amount I got this i.e completely dead Fronts Rear And thanks to a forum member sorted out some h&r lowering springs but upon fitting the fronts up the spring caps looked way too small but I though will bolt it up and see but nope they would not work. So after a search and help off this site have gone for these oe part They look loads wider and a tiny bit taller I am hoping this will sort it plus while I was in TPS picked up a genuine oil filter and sump plug and washer So my job tomorrow is get the front end done

Ended up ordering some from TPS so will see what comes

looking online i think its the 1H0412341 versions i need

I need the wider version mine are way too small

Hi I have just lowered my 94/95 vr6 and when putting my front springs on noticed the spring plate looked too small so are the early ones wider if so anyone got any spare as these are not wide enough. These are the plates that go directly on top of the spring

Brakes are not the best but I have been running these for about 4 years

Don't believe everything you read just buy one that's been well looked after mines a spoilt bugger lol oil consumption is not bad at I think mine in a 2 week journey doing 4k around Europe did half a litre if that but I think like I say if it's just a car with crazy low miles chances are it might eat oil as it's never running for long periods on a good run that's what these cars need distance to stretch there legs and have the engine running constantly mine sometimes will do 24 hours non stop other than fuel when going to south France.

Well I had a mk4 r32 8 years ago was trading it in for a mk5 r32 with bucket seats but after a test drive the mk4 drive better was a bit more raw so after that I ordered a new edition 30 in white without even a test drive I knew it would be the better and after nearly 8 years of owner ship I made the correct choice as cars don't last long with me sometimes weeks lol. For me vw got the edition 30 spot on but once you start modding them it gets expensive lol

Going Sunday might take the corrado

If a few going will see if I can make it

What a cock why not drive it

Cheers Steve still not 100% if I should lower it or not

anyone going to the get together at his grg this weekend ?

thought it said the car was written off so a cat C or D

Today's job pull off leaking rear shock Would not even go up by itself
