Thanks for that.

I've just found a small water leak in the engine bay - I had alook and found it coming from a small pump to the right of the engine (where the plug leads come up). I moved the pipe that it was coming from and found it cam away from a small pump. I've taken the pump out and I'm about to order a new part, but I want to make sure I know what it is first. There is a Bosch part number - PAA 12V 0392 020 054 (I think the last number is 4 - it's a bit worn, so it could be a 1) It had 2 pipes at the bottom, connecting to a plastic cap, and a plug on the top Cheers Adam

Cheers Guy's. It's put my mind at ease to know I may not have to sell it, and I've found a few nice recaro seats for Junior - just need to find one in leather now!

I hope some one here can help - Has anyone managed to cope with a new baby and all the parafinalia that it brings with it (Prams, safety seats, baggage etc..) and still been able to get everything into thier corrado. I'm after some advice on a decent baby seat that will fit into the back of my VR6. It has the large central bolster cushion. There is also not a great deal of room in the boot, and I am hoping that someone out there has been able to get all the kids stuff in the car and aleviate my fears of having to sell it and buy a Passat W8!!

Here's a pic of my Storm with my mates 16v. I'm trying to keep the look as stock as VW intended, but the engine has had a "few" mods.

The starter motor on my VR6 broke, and after bump starting it, I drove it to a local garage to have it replaced. Unfortunatly the bloke disconnected the battery and now it turns over but wont fire up. He says he has checked the fuel pump and there is no power to it, but the fuses seem to be ok. It isn't the immoboliser as it wouldn't turn over if this was at fault. The garage is a bit at a loss and doesnt really know where to go from here. Has anyone got any ideas as to what it could be? Cheers Adam

Depending on how the car gets driven, my Storm will give me anything between 18 and 35 MPG. But I reckon 27MPG for most driving would be about the average.

riley - I must admit that I am missing my Sportline, whilst the winter months are here. But, come summer it will be great to get it out again. I know I'm going to miss the power of the Storm, but just one day of roof down driving will make up for it! The C will keep me going in the adrenalin stake though. When I floor it in third, the roar from the RamAir induction kit and AmD throttle body is like a drug.....

The engine on my VR6 has recently started cutting out occasionally, when trying to start up. When I turn the ignition it will fire up, then immediatly cut out. This can happen once, several times, or not at all. There doesn't appear to be any logical sequence of events that happen prior to it. Other then an AmD remap, throttle body, Ramair induction kit and Milltek exhuast, the car is 100% standard Storm.

I had 140 mph registering on the Snooper, in my VR. Felt quite sturdy, but you do seem to run out of road rather quickly!

Read this with interest after my trip home fom Christmas vacation. I drove from Lincoln to the North of Scotland, a distance of 450 miles. I left at 3am and was doing really well until I hit the A9 north of Perth and was snow bound for an hour! Total time for this journey, including fuel stops and getting stuck in the snow, was 6 hours door to door. It was a perfectly clear, dry, traffic free night, until the snow hit. I remember GPS speeds of double the speed limit being registered on some stretches of road. Haven't had this much fun in the C for a long time- it did manage to kill my front CV/Ball joint off though! The joys of living near an Autobahn are becoming ever more apparent!

I thought it could be the lights, but have also set off in the day with them on, just to make sure - and it still works. I have 11 years experience as an electronics engineer, so I am sure I wll find out what is causing it. But all the testing and faults point to the weirdest things! T'is bloody queer tho'

Is anyone aware of a light sensor that works with the rear spoiler? Mine doesn't go up at night automatically, but is fine during the day! I know this sounds absolutly mad, but when I start the car in the dark, with no street lighting around it, it will not raise when I hit the magic 57MPH, but when I start the car during the day, or under a well lit area at night, the spoiler will go up when expected. I have checked this several times as I thought it was a coincidence, but every time gives the same result! Am I going mad, or is there a sensor in there I dont know about?

Depends on the weather!! As I will be coming from Scotland - Cab on a Sunny summer day, Storm for the other 364 days of the year!

OUCH!! I thought costs would only be around 3 grand! If they are spending that sort of cash, I may have a rethink about the whole idea!!
