"K447 HVV my old 16valve, still going. I sold it to a guy who lived just outside brighton in spring 2008" that would be me then :)

cool, i'll look for some fuel additive. as for the fuel filter, only changed it 6 months ago :( will have to order one up, i suppose its worth doing. will look into getting the injectors cleaned, no way im gonna pay for new ones. will make sure if i do that he will get the bill.

its 2.0 16v, not defintely empty, it cranked a few turns before the battery completly went on me.

A quick background story first. ive just came back from a 2 week vacation, during which my father borrowed my car for a week. when he picked me up in his car he said as soon as i get home i should go straight to the petrol station as my car was nearly out of fuel, thanks dad. so i go to fill up and go get some shopping to fill the bare cupboards. put the key in the door lock and the barrel comes right out. eventually get in the car, and the battery is dead. i told him not to set the alarm just lock it incase it drained the battery. check the fuel and its not even registering on the gage, so decide to call him up and bring a jerry can of fuel and jump leads. Get the car started with 5 litres of fuel added. take it for a a few mile drive before i fill her up with petrol and in those few miles its spluttering like a mofo :( as soon as its under load she just coughs and splutters. so, will it be just the injectors blocked or should i check other things? p.s all this while trying to deal with some major jet lag :(

M881 classic green with big alloys on a recovery truck just outside crewe on friday :(

was also thinking of getting one for the missus, had a couple of test drives. one in the 1.4 sport and another in the diesel edition. in my opnion i think they are great, look good drive good and for the price they are great, no worse than a peugeot or citroen for the same money. build quality is never gonna be great unless you spend alot more cash on a german or alike make. i would say its a good buy :)

black k plate vr6 on speedlines outside cpa car parts in littlehampton. starting to spot a few now, no one ever see's me though :cry:

see a classic green g60 i think it was, on german plates in the car park at the goodwood breakfast club. looked mint and original :) anyone??

as the title suggests, what are you gonna do to your rado this weekend? i have a nice box of bits downstairs including, a nice mintex box with front discs and pads, sump gasket including oil filter and 5 ltrs of quantum silva. arb links, new fuel filter which im looking forward to least due to the on on there at the moment being the origanal :( whats everyone else got planned?

erm.kinda of a chuftie. moved into my new house, a few days later i was out washing my c when my new neighbour came out and introduced himself. he's about 65-70 i suppose, anyways we was chatting away and he congratulated me on my scirocco :cuckoo: i then proceeded to correcting him that it was not, that it was a corrado. but he just carries on talking about other stuff like the other neighbours. eventually he got back round to the car and asked me if it was a GTI scirocco because he had one a few years back :confused4: so politly corrected him again and he just carried on talking about scirroco's :brickwall: but anyway he likeed my scirocco :D
