  1. I've checked the plugs, they seem fine... I wish I hadn't touched the bloody engine to be honest, it doesn't pull right. Don't really know what is going on. The top end is rattley and it just sounds poo. Anyone want to buy a Corrado 2.0l 16v? :( :( :(
  2. I've alsways liked these....mmmmm 8) Good skills that man!
  3. don't miss: Puff of blue smoke on start up after changing cylinder head miss: The fact that at least when it was using oil I knew that it wasn't going to blow up any minute (not confident about my mechanic ability!)
  4. Tis the 9a 2.0l dude If you have that would be cool and the gang 8)
  5. Threw away my old plugs only a week or so ago!! Typical! :( I'll have a look tonight!
  6. Yup, new cap and rotor arm, but not bosch items Should I go for bosch bits or doesn't it matter?
  7. They are almost new plugs, only done about 1000miles, they wouldn't be knackered would they?
  8. MOT today... failed on rear calipers seized.. was expecting that! Hmmm MK4 items on their way! :twisted: and a couple of bulbs.... no great hardship!
  9. I've done all of the above, but especially 1, 2 and 3....all the time! Get in! 8)
  10. errr...would it? lol :) any way insurance is..errr....£2777.00 :mad: Holy Sh1t..... Fair does mate Welcome to the forum.... 8)
  11. [schild=1 fontcolor=000000 shadowcolor=C0C0C0 shieldshadow=1]Off Topic[/schild] Not the same as our DAB, but apparently it is on its way to the UK within the next couple of years! America has had it for a while, that's why no american radios have RDS....they don't need it when they've got satellite radio!!!!
  12. I'll check the plugs, and the coil is no more than 12 months old....:(
  13. It is spot on! Adjusted it last week, dead on 6 degrees advance! :?
  14. Right, I've just changed the cylinder head on my 16v, and now every so often, under hard acceleration, it feel like it loses a bit of power above 5500rpm! Could it be drawing air in after the metering head? Injector seals? (they did look a bit suspect) Otherwise it goes a lot better...until I had the cat put back on for MOT today...which its going to fail (god damn pesky rear calipers!)
  15. Posted May 9th 2004 Hmmmm no showing 115500 with a new cylinder head!
  16. Ovine Seminal Vesicle Official Student Visitor Curtosy of Acronym Attic!!! :wink: :lol:
  17. Timed up my car properly thanks to h100vw sending me the details. Hmm does go better, just need to get the fueling done now! Time for a RR setup me thinks!
  18. Kev has a very good point! Go on, you know you want too!
  19. SMC Sound and Vision in Shrewsbury (01743 232317) and get the Cobra Cat 1! Quality fitting job
  20. That was my next project!! :( :wink:
  21. Good to have you back Kev.... :cry: of joy :wink:
  22. 10% what you say and 90% the way you say it! Body language and inflection make up most of how things are interpreted!
  23. I left them as before, and it does seem to go better, but I need to get it set up properly. Timing is sorted now I think, but fuelling needs to be tweeked I think
  24. I hope I'm not the barer of bad news, but normally if you are over 30mph above the speed limit they take your licence! My Dad got caught doing 107 on a Dual Carriageway that was a 70mph limit and he lost his licence. Went to Court and said that he need to drive for his business (self employed) and they only took it off him for 6 weeks!
