131k, MOT/Tax up at end of August. Full service history, a box file full of receipts, old MOT's etc. 2 sets of keys, remote locking with full closure. Sunroof tilts and slides. Additions are a BMC CDA, upgraded headlight loom, german plates (also a UK pair to go with her) Audioscape door pods, with MB quartz components up front (tweeters mounted in stock dash pods, crossovers are hidden in dash) Alpine head unit with full iPod/iPhone control, Alpine amp and 10" boxed sub in the boot (easily removable so boot still fully useable) Cons: One front fog cracked, new wheel bearing needed offside rear, ABS light stuck on. Small rust bubbles around rear number plate light. Really need a more economical motor now, so sadly the VR now has to go. Recent work includes new discs pads and one new caliper up front, new water pump, new offside wing, fitted and sprayed by VW. Also new plugs, leads about 6 months ago. Overall good condition inside and out. Looking for £1300 which I think is a fair price, given the condition and additions. Any questions please give me a call, 07795833210

Thanks for the reply, will try that. Can they be disconnected at the sensor end or do I need to dig around in the dash? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?cqkeqd

Morning all, having an issue with the Conlog 900 fitted to my VR6. Both fobs still work fine, both unlock and disarm the alarm/immobiliser, and both lock and activate alarm/immobiliser, and full closure of windows/roof. The problem I have is that after a couple of minutes once the car has been locked, the alarm goes off, the hazards flash, and the siren sounds (I have discon'd this while I find the problem). Had a good search through the old posts but can't find anything relevant, so, anyone got any good ideas on where to start looking first? I have tried a manual reset of the system using the socket type thing under the dash that you can push the fob into, and have tried disconnecting the main battery for a few minutes to try and give it a hard reset, but this hasn't worked either. Any ideas folks? Cheers all!

Mines still going strong after 2 years. Not a single problem. Great piece of kit. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?bsqe1z

Must've been an early coilpack then? 93? A fine example of the "parts bin left over" ethos, that the Karmann employees upheld at the old/new crossover period...

The earlier VR's came with red badges, later with silver. It doesn't indicate any difference, although the earlier VR engine had a distributor, late ones had a coilpack. So a slight difference!

Do you have the same problem across different browsers? Firefox, Google Chrome etc? Just thinking it may be Internet Explorer "remembering" the "old" forum, I was having the same problem on IE (Firefox was fine), I found that clearing IE of all browsing history (Cookies, Forms etc), then googling the forum, and navigating to the forum via the google result (i.e. not through a stored Favourite/Bookmark) Try getting rid of your old bookmarks, clearing history on IE, see if that helps, if it were your laptop or connection, you'd have the same problem on all sites...

Fantastic, you're a star. ;-)

Yeah i have Tapatalk, just never really got on with it that well, the layout just seems awkward, the latter sounds moree like it. Cheers Andi.

Yeah it's a hell of a price! That's without any options too (although the GTI has most things as standard). Add a Winter Pack, Convenience Pack, Sensor Pack, MFA Steering Wheel, upgraded Climate Control, etc etc and you're well above £20k.

It's The iPhone I use most for browsing here, on the train, loo, wherever. I just want the "new posts" to appear when the CF title in the banner is clicked, just as it used to. I know it's a relatively small niggle and that you're bombed out with other problems, so no pressure!

Exactly why I asked, cheers dude.

Andi, is it possible with the new software, to make the CF title in the banner link us straight to a list of new posts as it used to?

I think the previous model Fabia I would've gone for, the new model is fugly though IMO, shame really!

It's covered by 4 pages in the main Polo brochure...

Thats what struck me, the ease with which it operates, just effortless. I am sorely tempted, just need to shift the VR first!

I really liked it, plenty low down like you said, and pulls well to the limiter. I reckon I could get used to the missing clutch, as the gearchange is awesome! The only downside i found was the lack of an addictive engine soundtrack, I guess the VR has spoilt us all in that respect. Is there some kind of launch control? The guy wasn't sure, and there seems to be conflicting info on the net... Only got about 40 mins, so didn't really get that much of a feel for it, but liked it a lot. I am however booking one out for a 24hr demo, weekend after next. I now have the agonising decision as to whether to part company with the VR... :(

Ditto! Also, the CF Title (hyperlink) in the banner at the top of the page used to take you directly to "New Posts", will this be re-instated?

Yeah i wouldnt buy one with my own cash for sure, I'll have a brand new one every 2 years, and it'll cost me about as much as the C does now, when all the tax/NI savings are offset.

Brilliant info, thanks for that! The Polo has the 180PS engine, so hopefully won't suffer from the prolonged warm up period. Goin to test drive one in an hour, so will let you know. Thanks again!!

Anyone had any experience with these? In particular, the 7 speed DSG semi auto box? Its going to be worth my while signing up for a car with my company car scheme, in order to save money that would be lost paying 40% income tax (robbing barstards). The scheme promotes green engines, so this being a 1.4 (with a supercharger AND turbocharger) is fairly green, but looks good fun. Just don't know if I could live with flappy paddles (although they're meant to be very good on the VW's) and the lack of a clutch! Thoughts??

Great work Andi! Looks fantastic! More subscribers needed now the software costs real money! C'mon folks dig deep, get that PayPal subscription created!!

The brakes on my 200bhp Yaris were sh1t though! :lol: In fairness though the game is bloody good, gotta get saving my pennies for the console, and a nice set to play it on (still in the SD dark age in my house at the mo... :sad: )

I was all set for buying a PS3 to nestle alongside my 360, until I played this game on my bro's machine over Xmas, we soon realized there is no option to upgrade brakes on any car that you are modifying. Now am I missing the point here, or is this a massive gaping omission on Sony's part? Seems odd being able to improve every other part of the car but not the brakes?

If it does turn out to be the fuel pump, and it sounds like it, then for your sake i hope its not got a lot of fuel in it, horrid job changing the pump out if theres much fuel in the tank, as I found out... :( Definitely a good idea to try the relay first though. Good luck! P.S. skinned knuckles and petrol f*****k stings!
