anybody know where i can get a fan sensor( 3 pin bottom right hand corner of engine type 2.0 16v) need one urgently as i cant run the car properly and the stealers cant get me one just had to put it on back order which could take forever!

Got pulled the other week for a 'on the spot road worthyness inspection sort of thing' The PCSO called it a sirocco(much to my anger) had a good look round it all was fine ,Then he saw the mileage (267k) so then he had an even closer look round it determind to find something the best he could come up with was, "YOU NEED TO GET THAT RUST ON THAT ARCH SORTED AS YOU COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE A ELDERLY WOMAN WITH VARICOSE VEINS"!! LMAO!!!!!!!!

Mine went missing once, had the police out looking for it never saw it for a few days,Then I got a letter from the council they had taken it cos It had no tax on and was on the public highway, Just to add salt to the wounds when I went to pick it up it had actually gone to a scrap metal yard and was witing to be crushed..The cheeky Bstds! Back to the point tho know how you feel I was devastated!

I know this is quite a common fault but is there anyway of fixing it ,1st is very hard to select it usually pops straight in to reverse which is getin quite dangerous at traffic lights!! some one help me please as i want to fix and sell as i want a vr but tryin to cut the list of faukts down as best i can

Take it no one has seen or heard anything yet then?

Ha ha thanks rimshot!

Now this sounds like a common fault as there is millions of threads on it but I dont have time to go throught them, Basically the Abs Light comes on and off when it wants too, If i switch the ignition off and on again its fine for a while, dunno if this makes any difference but the car has been at the garage for about two months gettin rebuilt and engine bay re wired when it came out it was fine now its started doing it again I want to sell it so want it fixed!

just looked at your photos im impressed! Ill give that stuff ago, then I can sell it and get a vr haha

cheers guys whats a good wax to use(how much is it) never waxed before but will give it a go, anything i need to be aware of first? cheers Olly

Yes! My mate was paying £129/yr fully comp! Bloomin eck thats cheap, whos that with??

2.0 16v just alloy wheels, im also lookin at changin to a vr6 if i can get one cheap enough and the insurance cheap enough I know the price ive already had is pretty good

ive got some of that, ill do just that! Cheers, how often will i need to keep re applying t cut,polish,super resin stuff?

Its that time of year again! Cheapest quote so far £480, Fully Comp 3000 miles, on the driveway,SD&P only 3 years NCB, no convictions or accidents im 22, Anybody beaten this price cos im still shopping around?

As above, My car is in pretty good nick for age and mileage, just the bonnet has faded a bit which I have sorted with auto glym and t cut, but how can I get it to stay like that and stop it from going pink like all vws it lives outside so I just wanna do my best, Any advice?

ill get straight on it cheers, one other thing to mention dunno if it has any relevance, it had a new sensor my bro( mechanic who fitted it) said he ordered the correct part num from vw, but when it came it was just a different colour! it only beeps when i ragg it round sharp corners and i only ragg it round sharp corners to see if it beeps if that makes any sense, it has had a history of the engine going wrong ( I have learnt the hard way) so know the slightest thing I just worry and think here we go again? is it anything to worry about? If I drive normal it doesnt do it

oil is fine its definatly doing it when i rag it round corners, any ideas? oh and no lights are coming on or anything like that

This has happened twice now in the last two days and never before, The car beeps twice quite loudly when i drove harshly round a corner cant think it could be the alarm or immobiliser, I havent got a clue tried charging round corners to see if it will do it again but that didnt work, anybody any ideas? oh and this bleep seams to be coming from the dash, like i say its only ever happened twice so its difficult to pin point

You have probly all seen this before, I found it on an old thread from the Barryboys website, Dunno but you but I think it looks wicked( apart from the front seats!)

must of been the mixture sorted now cheers folks!!

My engine temp light stayas flashing even when I first turn the the engine on, I havent got a clue how to fix it???

very nice lookin car mate, just finish it off with some smoked m3 lights it would look the bollocks

me been a bit of a rogue, I bought mine with no tax drove it round for a few weeks without any, went round to mates at 11 at night left at 5 in the morning I had a ticket on it, ignored the ticket then regis tered the car a few weeks later the v5 came through the door followed by a fine, anyway still havent paid the fine only recieved the one leter so hopefully got a way with it ive heard if you ignore them theres not a lot they do about it, Unfortunatly my first rado was outside my bros garage for a few days gettin fixed with no tax on it, the coucil towed it away and it was seconds away from gettein crushed at a scrap metal yard which pissed me off!

never done a dash conversion before,do the vents line up ok? and the heater controls? my rado has the old slide type controls, i would of thought the later knobs would be easier to link up?

A TT dash now theres a thought

"I'm thinking of taking up crack, its got to be cheaper than modding a Corrado" Thats got to be the funniest thing ive heard in ages! true mind!!
