Stan 24v

My C (VR) is in having the noise at the bottom end looked at :cry: If worse comes to worst, then it'll be a new engine job (hopefully not though). If so, what should I do? Get it repaired, and maybe bored to 3.0? Buy a TT engine? 1.8 T? V6 4motion(if I can find one)? Any other suggestions? I dont want to spend too much, and hopefully keep it to no more than a grand, if possible. Opinions welcome, especially if youve done a conversion yourself.

Defo the 200, especially an S14a :) Ive had two of them, and two VR C's, and although I love my C, the 200 was the dogs too!!! A Golf is.....a Golf, whichever way you look at it, and the Mk3 is probably the worst looking Golf VW ever made IMO. Go for a test drive in a 200 and you'll be converted ;) On the subject of Skylines, while they are an excellent car, a 200 can be made to perform as well as one, if not better, but wont cost you as much to fix if it does break. Id say thats the big selling point for a 200. Also check out http://www.sxoc.com

How soon? I may be needing one. Send me a PM mate ;)

Take a look here, they deliver to the UK too ;) http://www.eiptuning.com/eip/vw6cylinderpistons.html

Anyone know the actual size of the bulbs behind the clocks? Im sure I can find those LEDs cheaper.

Ive had a reply from my supplier, Im just confirming for definite that they are the OE ones that fit underneath the ashtray, but I think they are (99%). Hi Stan, The extra gauges we spoke about, voltmeter and Oil pressure, that's a yes! we can get some for you :-) It retails at £123.98+vat Our price is £98.08+vat If the guys want to get a qty of 5 or more, then the price is £91.08+vat Delivery per unit is £8+vat. I hope this is ok!! Just let me know Stan, Cheers!! Bob, How does this sound? Any interest? Phil, how are you getting on with your supplier mate?

Blue with 17s fitted RAZ **** in Preston testerday

Ive got a similar problem mate, but mine is coming from the bottom end. Its going in this weekend for Andy Walker to have a look. Where in the NW are you? I can highly recommend Andy http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... psi+tuning

Nice car, prefer the A6 though

I like these cars lots. I drove a V6 a couple of years back, and it wasnt as quick as the VR, but more refined. The only problem.................French :porc:

Silver H reg valver near Riversway tonight about 515 pm.

website?

Exactly, if theyd put it in in the first place, he wouldnt have had to do that work,and we'd all have one lol :D

Who are "all smiles"?

Hopefully!! Ive bought some star drives, but the smallest is a 10, and its too fecking big, aaarrrggghhhh!!! I'll get a smaller one tomorrow. The mileage lcd is defo upside down, so the other maybe too. I think youre right about the strips too, though they did seem fairly straight. Will pul them off tomorrow for a gander. I havent changed or moved the bulbs for them, but will readjust to make sure. Cheers for help ;)

Yeah the plug is on correctly. All the dials work, but the displays dont. I'll take it out again tonight for further invest, ar*e!!

Shame they didnt keep the 24 valves though :(

Been changing the clock colours, and the LCDs too. Had a bit of a nightmare removing the fixing screws for the LCDs, and had to use a pointy nose pliers. Unfortunately I think I nicked some of the copper conductor on the back of the pcb. Anyway, fitted it all back together and just refitted it, in the dark. Switched on and the LCDs dont light up, or display any figures proeperly :shock: Ive looked closely and appear to have fitted the mileage one upside f*cking down :evil: but the other one just displays rubbish. :mad: Im gonna remove both again tomorrow and have a better look, but Im wondering if its just knacked???? If so, Im gonna need some new parts. :cry: This isnt really a problem, apart from the mileage would be incorrect. Can it be set to the mileage of the car? Or just live with it and say it was replace at 103k, which the car is at, if and when I ever sell it? Opinions please :?

RW1 Thought as much Chris, will have a look for him. Not too good for MOT though.

Yeah its the fuses, and I think hes using the right ones. I'll speak to him tomorrow, cheers.

Mate of mine with an M plate Storm is having probs with his fogs. As soon as he turns the lights on, his fogs (front & rear) keep blowing. He has changed the fuses and it keeps happening. Any ideas what could be causing it?

Hod can I remove the MFA clocks? Is the only way with a star drive? I dont have one :( I'll have to get one tomorrow if so.

It needs some other work before I can even think of that :(

How do you convert to OBD2? Whats involved, and how much is it? Nice car dude, nice pics too, you uploaded them to be on the forum banner? ;)

Bollox, thought you may say that :(
