    High idle

    I assume it's the vr6 judging by those readings. Any errors shown at any time? I'd check for air leaks around the inlet piping, and any errors thrown up when the idle is stuck high up.

    Fuel Prices

    Yeah but keeping the Nozzle in the tanks an art-form apparently! :lol: Using the electro stimulator is quite hard too.
  3. Is this the point I suggest something inappropriate with a ping pong paddle? :D :lol: We've all done stuff like that, it's part of the experience of owning a car you want to go faster I think. I have a K&N and an exhaust with no suitcase silencer on my valver (not my additions, the previous owners) and it made 144bhp with 180k miles on it, so I guess the chav style mods could have helped it?? I agree about the cold air feeds too, at 30mph+there must be a huge volume of air getting into the engine bay without the need for bits of puddle bothering pipe.
  4. There's always the boot for no.3...
  5. There's a guide written by Kev on here somewhere (got it bookmarked at home) for setting the KR up by ear which I've used to reasonable success in the past on my valver. Dunno about the 9a though??
  6. Right, the subframe doesn't look like it will separate from the rest of the seat. Could do you the seat base on it's own to try to save weight on postage? If it comes apart that is....
  7. You won't get a decent socket to fit in between the outer pulleys. You need to take them off. Sorry dude!

    My new bucket

    Bet it would be awesome on a steep hill too....
  9. whats beating mate ? you collecting money for loan sharks? Nah, nothing that fun. Basically, on pheasant and partridge shoots I'm one of the ferrets who move the birds around and get them to fly over the guns. Only really do it to help friends out, as I can't stand the maority of people found on either side of the gun hedge at most shoots. Get £20 - 25 per day, sometimes free food and drink, all the game I want, and It's pretty good exercise fighting through brambles in the rain. At the end of the year they give the beaters a days shooting, which has given me the opportunity to have a go at some of Britains top partridge shooting without the cost (£25ish/bird). A lot of people will not approve of this, and will probably get certain opinions of my character because I'm involved in field sports, therefore I don't tend to mention it a great deal.

    Service!

    How was Bubbles? He's a bad mutherf%cka shamooon [/moonwalks away]
  11. I can take a look at one of my spares tomorrow and let you know. Think I have a drivers side seat for sale, could always pull the frame off the bottom and courier it to you?
  12. One of the mods will add it I expect Blue pearl effect for me, or nugget or one of the greens.
  13. I know your pain mate. I'm often sat on my overdraft limit at the moment. Worst thing is I've just started a new job which pays almost double what I got while temping, but I'll be completely without cash for the rest of this month and december as it pays monthly. The secret is to find a way to get some cash rolling in, £20 here, £30 there. I went beating today (not to everyones tastes) and have £20 in my pocket, ill be selling a coupel of parts tonight for cash, then got a bar at a 18th birthday party to run in at the start of December. Whatever I make off these will be what I live off for the next 6 weeks basically.
  14. Foooking hell Aide! That's huge.... Have you picked up any damage due to general road cack?
  15. Hmmmm. Sounds like it could be a dodgy release bearing. See if you can feel it through the pedal as you take the weight up.... Gear change is far better I suppose though?? :)
  16. To be fair, we've done stranger things in the past...
  17. Did you run the install program that came with the cable? I had to let my laptop search the internet for the drivers and it was fine after, think there's 2 drivers it needs to download too. Just had an interesting hour with an auto electrician comparing VAG-COM's and showing him how to use it a bit, and he had a nice cable off ebay that toldd the laptop it was a genuine rosstech jobber and worked with 7.02 fine. And to beat my cable it communicated with my abs without any issues, well apart from the multitude of errors on the ABS but still... Deviant, it's unlikely vag com will give you much help with the 9a, the ecu is far to primative to give you any decent information.

    Exhaust

    What model of car have you? I can probably supply a second hand one. Would want you to collect it though as I imagine posting it would be a pain.
  19. Good work fella... Best bit was he took 5 days to get the wheel partly off.... I wonder if he thought at anypoint that firing a shotgun at a solid metal object only inches away wasn't a good idea??? After seeing the holes you can put in things I'd not be trying to undo anything with a gun!!
  20. Think Dub_nut_g60 has on his G60...
  21. Lol! No worries... I've got a nice selection of hammers to get it into the dash with!!
  22. It looks like it's got some decent features. But I'd not let the halfwits brigade near my car with tools...
  23. I do, it's called the 1.8T!!!! :lol: well hat off to Simon for trying something different. it works.[/quote:tq1cmbd7] Indeed! A little too well for my pants :( :( :shock: ;)
  24. I do, it's called the 1.8T!!!! :lol: I went out in it too, and I'd not even half consider a 1.8t after experiencing this...
