I think it's about bl00dy time mate!!! Sorry I missed you on MSN t'other day.

What type of NOS kit do you have? Progressive?

He's still about....been triple busy at work, I think.

Yep! The air vents close themselves if you have the fan on more than 2 and are directing the air any way other than straight!! To be fair, it wasn't THAT bad. As I said cheap and cheerful, but what small car isn't these days (apart from the likes of VAG/Merc)

Had a Panda in Rhodes a couple of weeks ago as a hire car. Cheap and cheerful, that's for sure!

Massive improvement under the bonnet, much more subtle. 8)

I had a problem with the spoiler on mine. Turned out to be a blown transistor on the instrument cluster that sent the speed pulse to the control module. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22959&hilit=+spoiler+fix

Me too! I love it. I still can't understand why people try it on with Cops. They WILL find out. :lol:

Road Wars?? :D

Looks lovely, I'd leave the side strips off ;)

Absolutely name and shame fella. That's disgusting behaviour. I'd be livid. :bad-words:

Is it a track car? If so, then yes, otherwise, totally gay.

Good work dude :)

Looking good mate :D 8)

Made from the same stuff aren't they? :lol:

You talking about Steve???

Seems ok ish. Tried Brentacre??

Oh dear, what have you said?

You need to get VAG-Com on it. That will tell you if the Cam position sensor is faulty and if the blue temp sensor is funked. As said before if the blue temp sensor is reading a low temp (i.e. engine coolant is cold), then it will attempt to compensate with warm-up enrichment, and privide more fuel. If it is faulty it will potentially read low for longer, and thus wind in a funk load more fuel.

Well, I also discovered that the slightly knackered gearbox mount, is actually completely detactched!! I suspect that the movement of the engine, combined with heat of the exhaust has caused that wire to be damaged.

It is indeed!

Think I've found the problem (famous last words...) just need a new female terminal now....oh and a pin extraction tool...

I was wondering if the faulty 02 sensor would mean that when in closed loop fuelling mode, which from experience is all but WOT, a modifier is applied to the fuel delivered. But I'd expect the closed loop fuelling to be abandoned if the 02 sensor signal was faulty. I've just whipped the spark plugs out. Cyl 1,2 and 6 have a white deposit on the electrodes, the other 3 look ok.

It seems our OBD2 VR (Golf) is suffering from a rather bad misfire. It seems to be evident at idle and part throttle, but goes away under WOT. I've checked for DTCs with VAG-COM but only have one for a 02 sensor having no signal (00525 O2 Sensor). I was expecting at least to see a problem with the coilpack. I've taken the top plastic covers off that sits over the Coilpack and had a look for any obvious cracking on the top and sides, but nothing obvious, but I would expect the misfire to be there under heavy load/WOT if it were a cracked coilpack and indeed to have the MIL illuminated on the dash. Would a faulty 02 sensor really cause it to misfire? I would think it would just not use closed loop fuelling?? Help :(
