coolrado

i have heard of motorsport edition golfs but did they ever do a polo? or is this guy just full of sh!t 220bhp out of a 1.3 :shock: :shock: http://www.findit.co.uk/cars/volkswagen ... 445411.php

if i where you i would get a lock smith out to it or try some other way of removing the barrel. it is possible to wreck the whole column by just forcing it a local locksmith charged 40 quid to get into a mates polo make a new ignition key and supply him with 3 spares, and he didnt need the original key.

what phone have you got? my 6230 plays mp4's and 3gp's and the software that came with it nokia data suite has a video player included

i found with the lupo wipers that the screen is dry after the second wipe and tends to squeek a bit by the third wipe :wink:

the mech is corrado only isnt it ? yep the rear is push to wipe and will squirt as well if held a little longer usually takes a moment for the fluid to reach the squirter jet on mine tho

good to hear. 8) makes you wonder about the amount of people that just accept the first offer they get :mad:

sounds like either a dodgy control unit or worn contact plate inside the wiper housing that tells the control module what position the wiper is in does it sort of jitter and stop in odd positions as well?

just dont go overboard and start colour coding everything it usually just ends up looking naff when people do that :wink:

the front one is bottom position=intermittent wipe one up from that=off one up from that=normal wipe one up from that=fast wipe push away to squirt and wipe 3 times the rear one is push away once to start push away again to stop push and hold to squirt

the front ones or the rear one?

try checking all of the wiring for damage and check all the earth points are clean and secure it could be that one of the earth points is corroded or a cable is broken and the ecu is drawing more current on a different circuit which cannot cope with the draw try opening up the ecu and check for any burned out tracks on the circuit board the forum has been a bit up and down in the last couple of days you should find we are usually a helpfull bunch, it usually helps if you introduce yourself too

possible dead temp sender try searching for temp guage

yeah that really cheap blue forecourt screenwash made mine judder after a few days. changed back to the pink vw concentrate stuff in the funny shaped bottle and they where back to being smooth again

if you mean the big square lump in the middle thats bolted to the chassis, its solid metal and is supposedly some kind of vibration damper

yep they are but i think they use a different process that is very expensive for one off's

i suggested that a while ago and was told it wasnt possible as the chroming process involved a lot of heat

as my name is daniel do you think it will work even better? all my mates said i should be good at polishing, (well they actually said trumpet polishing) :lol:

going to pick up my new radio front from halfrauds tonight (12quid for a new pioneer face 8) ) will pick up a can while i am there cheers

any idea where from?

is it actually a mirror like chrome finnish?

nothing worse than delayed sagginess :lol: mine needs doin as well especially round the sunroof

the proper tool locates into two grooves in the caliper piston face and a plate that sits opposite the piston in the pad carrier, and as you wind the tool in it pushes the piston in while turning it at the same time. the first time i changed my rear pads i made a tool myself by grinding down one of my brothers large snap on sockets :lol: so it sat securely in the grooves with no risk of damaging the bore or piston but it did take ages and hurt my hand too much :cry: when i was winding it in, it was'nt really worth the hastle and the last time i changed them i went and bought the proper tool which took half the time.

chainspotting is a classic and its got great music too, shame its not availiable on dvd though :( i was watching a documentary the other day which explained that the music industry is making far more profit from people downloading music (even with the piracy losses) that they ever did with cassettes, vinyl (ask your parents) or cd's with downloads there are far less packaging and printing costs so therefore more proffit its all just media hype to try and destroy the p2p sites

does look like a worthy successor to j-dub 8) could start a new thread for name suggestions for the new motor, i take it its a she? :wink:

i was just thinking if you where tanking it down one of those 4 lane private roads :wink: and a water hose or expansion cap failed the cabin would fill up with steam pretty quickly and leave you with bugger all visability. could using some good size ducting from the top rear of the engine bay to underneath the car not draw plenty of hot air out of the engine bay ?
