if you intend to compete then not chav at all. if you want it for sounds then its TOOOOO much and therefore chav ;) 1kw is enough subbage for any man lol!!

sweet Mike cheers!!!!! does the resistor need to sit under the heating element then to sense the temp?

seems like nobrainer to me mate

see sentence above, but swap the words gold and black around. only if you want it to be WRONG!

i really like the gold - black look pap imho. if no gold then keep silver.

was browsing the howto on the subject and need some clarification at this point: http://the-corrado.net/how-to/img_full. ... age3_large in the region labelled "open circuit" there are two wires which come from the back of the seat up to a little circular metal piece. one of these wires was loose but in the process of removing the material now both are loose. so i have: 2 unconnected wires coming from the back of the seat a little circular picece with nothing connected to it the main heater element (the bit marked "all ok" now instinct tells me the two wires from the back join to the circular piece but is that it? does this attach to the main looped element? help appreciated. cheers -pablo

nah thinking 97ish shape. pretty sure the cordoba got a tdi cupra so beeza must have too.

seat cordoba coupe 1.6 SX - my first proper car. nice build and fairly sharp too. seat ibiza tdi cupra (if u can find one and if they actually exist lol) honda civic vti EG (early 90s) - 160bhp, ins ok and bulletproof. cheaper than an overpriced crx too. saxo vtr/vts or 106 rallye/gti - vtr really only one in budget. 306 dturbo - decent looks and a little grunt (screw the pump a little)

YUP!!!! I had envisioned hundreds!!!!

C Raddo fiat coupe seats arent mad comfy but there is actually good room in the back which is a surprise.

try germany mate - euro spec tuners and bargains can be found. http://www.ebay.de

lol thats the best excuse Ive ever heard :D honest mr MOT man ;)

fixed WOOHOO - transponder receiver. £25 from vag. had terrible nightmares of £100s :(

Ive a fiat coupe turbo cat in the garage - might be worth a fit for a laff

well its solid in that there are no bottons etc on it but there is a join around the edges so it would split in two pieces.

the decat on my VR seemed to liven things up a little. see the odd TT hiflow cat FS on vortex - is this a common "upgrade"?

thats it Kev - need to start with a web of lies and deciet to get what I want before the regime is imposed :D back on the subject of keys tho - does it cost much to get one done? Im assuming its not too bad if the main key is ok but if its knackered am I in big do do?

nah no S3 just yet ;) need the cash for wedding in June. then its S3 time while she is still in a good mood :D

kev: picked up a new coil from the dealer so will be fitting that this evening. new key may be a little harder/more expensive to sort. wont be any bigger work going on as the car wont be in my possession much longer. time to change in the new yr once I can get a decent price for it.

update: vagcom says the car was blocked from starting by the immobiliser. so I guess either the key or the coil is dead. I only have one key so cant test that end. whats my next step now lads? cheers for the info so far! -pablo

fuel pump is defo ok as the rail is getting plenty of pressure. Ill check the relays etc down around the fusebox and all fuses. has to be something that only affects starting tho as anytime Ive had the problem before was on starting - never while running. Bad time for it to happen too - nowhere will be open till new yr :(

what does relay 109 do?

seems to be yeah. was dark and cold tho - will get it to the garage tomorrow and get a proper look around.

dont have a spare key :( the key I have is solid so not sure if there is anything inside it. 99% sure its the same problem mate. will try around the hoses etc but my gut is telling me electrical. how long does it typically run before dying with a vacuum problem? thanks for the replies so far lads.

EDIT: was the ignition barrel transponder receiver. £25 from VAG hey all - have had an intermittent problem on my vr6 for a few months now. every so often when starting the car would fire up but about 1 second later die. starting and holding a rev of around 4k for a few secs has always solved this. today however the same thing happened but it wont run at all for more than 1-2 secs. we have: disconnected batt for 30 mins to let it settle checked fuel pressure at the rail (OK) pulled the MAF sensor off (same thing but ran rougher for that one second) usual arm/disarm the alarm (cobra cat1) now when the problem has occurred before its always been on starting never while driving or idling. any suggestions for things I can check would be appreciated. Will try to get vagcom tomorrow (expect a PM mike!!) If we cant DIY it I am going to fling myself to the mercy of an auto spark but thats gonna mean no car till the new year. help pls :) -pablo
