Read the oil bible about 0w oils guys What about 0W oils then? Good question. Given that you can't have 50ml, 60ml or 200ml of oil flowing through any size hole in zero seconds, what on earth does the 0W rating denote? Well it's a special case denoting a difference in the 'pour point' of the oil. Most 5W oils have a pour point at -40°F (-40°C) The base oil is the same in 0W40, but it's pour point has been lowered even further - sometimes to as much as -50°F (-46°C) Pour point is 5°F above the point at which a chilled oil shows no movement at the surface for 5 seconds when inclined. This measurement is especially important for oils used in the winter. A lot of manufacturers tend to quote pumping temperature rather than pour point. Pumping temperature is the temperature at which the oil will pump around the engine and maintain adequate oil pressure. This is typically 20°F above the pour point - ie. 25°F above the point at which the oil is basically a gel. So 0W oils don't flow through a viscometer in zero seconds - they rate at 5 seconds like a 5W oil, but they will be pourable at a much lower temperature. The bottom line then is that if you think your car is ever likely to see a cold morning in the -45°F (-43°C) range, you should be considering 0W40 oil. If not, 5W40 will do. Note that at -45°F, you'll probably have more to worry about than your engine oil - like your radiator fluid, brittle tyres, frozen locks, permafrost on the windscreen etc.etc.etc....... taken from http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbible ... bible.html

you can brake and stear with ABS lock up a wheel without it and your nnot steering anywhere, ABS is proved to reduce braking distances. why the hell would you ditch it, the electronic brain can react quicker than any human to a locked wheel.

stick in some LEDs 11mm ones with holders

I´ve got them in my side repeaters, they dont seems as bright to be honest

XBOX release is late september

sorry to hear that, but at the end of the day its replacable, unlike us humans

ant plug the cable into the intelli start unit the intelli start unit should then be connected to the alarm via the same type of cable. However the main alarm unit should have to Cliffnet ports in it, one for the software and one for the daisy chained units (intellistart. check your alarm instructions, http://www.clifford.com/guides/other.asp OWNER MANUALS cant find the install guides they used to be on the same site but the link has gone

My top rad samco has failed!! 12month use and thats on a new MASSIVE rad and my water temp is always low considering im in spain

LHD Cs with abs have no servo, the pedal connects straight to the ABS pump. If you need and LHDS pics let me know, I´ll be happy to help.

thanks to carrot and other comidy muppets the skoda will always have that stigma, but they are VAG after all, even if some off them do look like they have old VW switch gear ETC. Mind you VWs have older Audi gear.

Very soft seats, VW seat are known for droping foam under the seats on high milage cars, very smooth steernig wheel and gear know, leather will be very worn on high milage gear knobs. the steering wheel has a finish to it, but this wears out. Floor carpets often wear through, but mats prevent this. Under the car will give you an indication too. it should be clean with only ting sign of wear. Check the pedals, pedal rubbers wear, but they are replacable. The C picks up stone chips on the bonnet, but thats easy to sort.

replace the black plasitc flange, d the one on the rhs of the block too, cheap fix OEM parts only though, for the hell of it replace the blue and black sensors too. you'll need one off each flange, one of each sensor, 3 seals, 1 sensor blank, and 3 clips. (the new flange has 3 sensor holes)

I´m with Gavin on this and get a baffle put in there, the VW one comes with a gasket btw.

MoonlightVR, Can you get me the price of a new G60 top Rad hose in purple, please. Cant wait for samco to replace mine, via amber etc etc. its gonna cost me to post it back etc. cant be arsed with the wait. so i figured i´d just order one

More Additions Just added new front discs and Pads, BLACK DIAMOND, (hell there good) now replacing all engine sensors one by one. The new Blue coolant sensor seems to of changed the car all together, seems faster ??? I´m doing them one at a time so i cna make sure whats working correctly, Knock sensor next and the the lamda prob (big money) (Can any one tell where this is going lol)

It could be a few things, petrol is often the hope, but with C´s you know is more than that. :roll:

VW in the US do ones for the early and late C´s maybe someone in the USA can get you an OEM one

Window tinting is easy to do in the side windows, the rear screan is a bitch though.

Its amazing what that blue sensor does for the engine, i´ve just changed mine, car seems faster, and startes much faster in the morning. IE crank time is shorter!!

sort i think now thankx

Has anyone got a contact for Asim the guy that did the samco group buy ages ago on the yahoo group? thanks

I can second that, the seal on mine (top half and bottom half seems to be weaping whenvery hot)
