  1. Sounds like your having similar problems to me. I recently changed my Kenwood headunit with another. Literally a plug and play affair as the connections at the back are the same.

     

    Now when I start the engine with the stereo already playing I get a thud through the speakers!

     

    Doesn't sound too healthy does it!!

     

    I can't understand it either as all my wiring is the same


  2. I had these on mine (ET35) and found the inner side of the wheel was quite close to the suspension leg. Used 15mm spacers to give me a bit of room and a wider look in the end (et20). Only used to rub with two big people in the back when going over bumps.

     

    Probably be putting mine up for sale soon


  3. In the last couple of days my car has started fine but about 5-10mins into my journey it has started to stutter and then cuts out. Once it dies it becomes difficult to start again, turning over but not firing (always seems to be at a busy junction :evil: )

     

    I've noticed it has been mild damp weather the last couple of mornings so not sure if that has anything to do with it?

     

    I'm going to change the HT leads, dizzy cap, clean the plugs etc but was wondering if its likely to be anything else.

     

    Any help appreciated as its getting bl00dy annoying and increasingly dangerous just stalling on roads :(

     

    Cheers


  4. Looking for a bit of advice from those that have Golf G60 intercoolers fitted to their C's.

     

    After some recent over heating issues all now seems to be fine however the oil and running temps are higher than they were b4 the fitting of the larger intercooler. I'm guessing this is purely because it is taking most of the air flow that used to travel through the rad.

     

    On a normal 20 minute drive without pushing it I seem to get oil temps of 105 and water at 100. Does this sound about right?? Sure it wasn't that high before.

     

    By the way an oil cooler is on the to do list 8)

     

    Cheers
