Yeah I meant fuel, dunno what made me say timing :nuts: Yep maxed out each side really. I was wondering though, with one being +25% and the other -25% whether swapping them round would make any difference? They're still the wrong ones so I've ordered the new ones to be safe, £180 though :( Yeah I thought we adjusted the fuel pressure correctly but Vince asked me why it's low and adjusted it. :shrug:

Yeah, got the car to Stealth on saturday. The car felt great to get back in to, soooooo planted and stiff now with the ARB's, MED's, strut brace, R32 bushes etc etc it just felt awesome! The car was running rather rough all the way, barely revved past 2k rpm but I was still able to shift passed other cars at those revs the torque is so low down it's amazing! :grin: Anyway got to Stealth, cleared the codes and then found the problem to be a) fuel pressure too low, adjusted with FPR and now revs to 3k rpm and b) main problem is the wrong lambdas :brickwall: the different ECU's are really fussy with different parts. One bank was adding 25% timing and the other bank was -25% timing roughly. We rang VW and got the right part numbers (1K0 998 262 K for the front right and 1K0 998 262 N for the front left btw), mine are AR and CH I think so must be Audi ones. I'm ordering the new Bosch ones today from my nearest Central Auto Supplies, not cheap though at £75 +VAT each but that's cheaper than VW :shock: I can sell the old ones though to recoop some costs, I have 3!! It's gunna go like a b@stard though when it's running 100%! At the moment in limp mode you can accelerate to 60 by short shifting immensely quick and still wants to spin the wheels if you press too much! Can't wait!! :clap: :clap:

Nice one Michael! :clap: Looks like a great little car, i'm soooo jealous!! :tongue: I will own one eventually, maybe next year! I look forward to seeing some progress on it. If you want a bit of a polish up mate yours would make a nice drive for me when my car's 100% :lol:

Good stuff Karl 8) Get it on man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's ok, i'm gunna get it to Stealth and have The Vince have a look over it :cheers: Got a better ins quote from Brentacre (who were really helpful over the phone!) for £980 fully comp and everything declared, with protected no claims etc etc. They insure on a BHP basis as well so I'm within the 250bhp bracket (it's only got that much, honest!) and they don't care what other mods you do to it, as long as you let them know and as long as they don't put it above the agredd BHP, which I think is great! That's still a bit more than I was hoping but looking at everyone else quotes at £750, £800 etc and with them being older and having advanced licenses etc etc (ignoring Karl's ridiculously cheap quote ) I suppose it's about right and I think I'm being too wishful! The monthly payments are what I wanted which is just over £80pm. All others I've tried are in the same ball park as HIC i.e. well over a grand or about a grand with no protected no claims and higher excesses etc. OR I do too many miles per year to qualify for classic ins (probs do about 10-12k easily I'd say).

Has anyone got VAG-COM that's not too far from Kettering, Northamptonshire? I need to scan mine tomorrow ideally to see why it's going in to limp mode! You get to look at some R32 goodness for your troubles :lol:

Is anyone available preferably tommorow that has VAG-COM (well the lead at least)? Kev can't make it now and I am stuck without VAG-COM :( I need to check why it's going in to limp mode.

Sad news indeed Michael :( but congratulations on the baby though! :cheers: I look forward to seeing the new project, you know you want a mk1 golf!! :lol:

Not this year unfortunately, I have been doing my R32 conversion most the summer and am buying my first house so haven't had time or money to drive round europe again. It was an awesome trip last year though, apart from the supercharger and other problems :brickwall: and it was really good meeting you and seeing where you live! :wave:

I really like how those door cards look, top work mate!

Looking stunning as usual Torsten :notworthy:

Perv at the potential 800bhp turbod R32 Bora they have there for 2-3 hours, simple! :lol:

You're terrible Karl! :lol:

Robs been doing plenty of that with Kev, he has to pay for Kevs time somehow :lol: LMFAO!! :lol: That's how I paid you for your time with the Rotrex as well wasn't it? :camp:

:lol: Which one????? :nuts:

I'm sure you'll find a way mate! :clap: :clap: Shotgun first to have a go in it when you do (after you of course) :lol:

Man I wish I was old like you guys :lol:

I'm not surprised at all that you made a grand more from breaking it Pete, you had a top motor! It's just a shame that some people have to come to breaking to make it worth their while :( I will hopefully never have to know how that feels though as I don't plan on letting this car go anywhere for many years to come! Yeah I think with all the parts it could easily rack up 6k+ at the moment. I think £5-5.5k is probs a realistic valuation price. £800 was more in the region I was hoping to pay tbh, but then you must be over 25 right Pete?

A man after my own heart indeed, like your style! 8) I shall keep everyone posted :salute:

Cheers Jim, website says 21 and over :clap:

Yeah worth a try I suppose. What company was it?

Wow that is an insanely good deal :shock: I bet there will be one problem though, with most ins companies you need to be 25+ for classic insurance.

Well it's going to be my daily really, I don't see the point in doing all this and only taking it out weekends :shrug: plus the engine has only done 6k miles so not like I need to keep the miles off it :lol: But I can see what you are saying Jim, obviously if it wasn't a daily and I had it for personal use only and with limited miles then insurance would be half but then I'd still need to insure and run another cheap car so might as well spend that on the C and have an R32 daily! 8) I've still got time, there's not rush, I'll get the ins companies fighting against each other! :lol:

Yep my arse is pretty sore after the first quote: HIC - £1250 fully comp, but that was full whack with a cherry on top. How much do people think my car would be worth? As most these 'specialists' agree to give the true value of the car including mods and not just measly market value. I thought in the region of £5k with the market as it is, but could be more :shrug: Next try, Brentacre, they have great reviews soo touch wood they come in cheaper.

Couple of pics I took yesterday after it's first wash in aaaaaages, I forgot how lush these cars look when minty clean 8)
