thanks for the tips mate, the timing belt and tensioner were done 8500 miles ago, but i have bought new ones anyway. the thing is i dont have a clue what to do with or even where the tensioner goes. so i think i might do the cam...reuse old timing belt...then get local garage to do the timing situation as its mot time next week anyway, and i have a set of coilovers to go on :D

agreed

if i do do it i'll take a lot of pics....and it will probably end up a' what not to do guide' :oops: :lol:

thanks mate ,thats a help. now i just need to decide whether to give it a go or not :?

well done mate :D

i used to have similar problems , turned out i had 2 broken wires on the plug for the throttle position switch (potentiometer). took a long long time to find out , changed many parts in the process. fuel pump, potentiometer, throttle body, mass air flow meter , ignition switch....... and all it was was 2 wires. :oops: mine is a 2.0 16v if this is no help at least its a bit funny :D

i thot the beetle was going to land on it :lol:

wow , poor guy, thats really rough viewing

hi all, not posted for what seems like ages, moved house early jan to get a driveway for the car, still not moved in :( anyway i'll get to the point, when i was parking the car a few days ago steam started coming out of the bonnet (not good) i was thinking burst hose hopefully. but it turns out the resevior screw lid thing had came off but i'm quite sure i tightened it when i last topped it up. (found it also :) ) so the question is is this a symptom of something bad? or am i worrying about nothing? also i dont think the temp guage hasnt moved since, but i havent been stuck in traffic so not sure. any advice you can offer will be great cheers all martin

i got one from vw about a year ago. £60 ish as far as i remember. called the throttle potentiometer i think :)

had a wee look with a torch , there is a scrape mid bumper above the tow eye, and on the top directly above a crack about 4'' long........steady :D loving all the advice... especially vr6 :snipersmile:

my neighbour just told me she saw a black taxi bumping into the back of my car and then he drove off :mad: but she got the reg number :) should i call the cops or wait til the taxi offices are open tomorrow??

no worries :D its good to laugh :lol!: :lol!:

looks like your right :cry: storm-nut, the screws are rusty as f###. not killed them yet, i will soak them with wd40 for a while(probably about a week :D ) then try again when i have time to get drilling if needed thanks for the guide guys. did you get the vr yet cazza??

cheers guys, i'm away to give it a try. lets hope no drilling......all tools packed away.....moving house soon :D

hi all, i'm trying to remove my headlights, easiest way to change the bulbs so it seems? did a search and found out that there are 3 screws to be removed, the first 2 are obvious but i cant see the third :oops: all help much appreciated :)
