HI all does anyone know the vag part number for a 20mm blanking grommet! thanks andy

i had a mk4 metallic green 1.9tdi to start drove that 9months of low cost motoring then the parents sold it and I had to go out on my own! I brought a c-reg polo 1.3 gee that thing was quick kept up with an is200 up to 70mph, anyway that died head gasket so scrapped it, then with 2 years driving under my belt I got my mk2 8v gti in artic white loved this car 2 years of very memorable motoring sold it yesterday and this made way for my now artic white g60! which costs more but its the love of the mk2 8v that done it for me (obviously the c is beautiful and the spoiler is the best trick in the book)

i sold my mk2 8v didnt want it to go but was happy it did! now can spend some more money on the C! hope she's gone to a good home as he came all te way from suffolk to the isle of wight to get here so cant be too bad! had 2.5 years of good motoring from her and loved every minute she prob the reason i've stayed vag! so the rado has her to thanks!

andy what you doing with car?

just looked sorry forgot you said cab heres the stats V8 Displacement cu in (cc): 254 (4163) Power bhp (kW) at RPM: 344(253) / 7000 Torque lb-ft (Nm) at RPM: 303(410) / 3500 Redline at RPM: 7200 Brakes & Tires Brakes F/R: ABS, vented disc/vented disc Tires F-R: 235/40 R18 Driveline: All Wheel Drive Exterior Dimensions & Weight Length × Width × Height in: 178.3 × 69.3 × 54.2 Weight lb (kg): 4088 (1855) Performance Acceleration 0-62 mph s: 5.9 Top Speed mph (km/h): 155 (250) - electronically limited Fuel Economy EPA city/highway mpg (l/100 km): 15/21 (13.8) but still if had anything done who knows?

if hes chipped it and taken the de-restrictor off i wouldnt wanna know what it can do coz i think they have 420bhp standard so with it being like a v8 twin turbo just chip/remap would prob easy get another 60 bhp but yes all german mainstream cars i.e like m3 rs4 merc clk are restricted to 155

hi been sifting through the bay and this surely isnt vag is it as these style badges were'nt about in ear;y 90's were they? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-Corrado-P ... dZViewItem

asim thats sweet is it the 3.6

hi all no:14 we are and name is the £100 ATP SHED

hi all got my place all good now looking for the £100 shed! will be kept underwraps untill brought though dont want no scallys replicating the beast lol! only joking nah seriously thou as andy will tell ya £100 is one low budget for a good example vag motor!

cheers lads i was more wondering if they the boost gauge will be fine for the charger boost will it be accurate as it was on a turbo boost before! i thought would be ok as the obviously both run p.s.i/bar so just wanted to check with you guys? thanks andy

hello all my mates got his turbo boost gauge out of his punto ready to sell his car and said i could have it for a £10 would the gauge work fine for telling me my supercharger boost levels or does it only read boost from turbo's? thanks andy
