82 views and one guess, anybody else?

I went to see it through, if cheap enough I'd have bought it. Care to guess what it made before buyers fees? Smoked white on start up, miss-fired when revved hard and the settled to a 6 pot idle, scuttle drain was blocked completely and a gallon of water drained out once cleared. Typical flash red faded on every panel, drivers quarter had been sprayed and was nearer white than red, rusty front drivers wing, ABS light never blinked at all. So what did it make before fees? EDIT, there was no aircon fitted EDIT2 I'll post up the answer tomorrow

Its taking him a long time to return home, I know the M6 can be a bit gnarly at times, but 5 days...................

Does this C have an engine? and is it grey?

They look like 15s to me? What size tyres are fitted 205 50 15?

I meant you can unclip the covers with a small screwdriver and look at the contacts. If you remove a relay it will have a diagram on it to show the circuits, basically a relay is a heavy current switch, its fired by a small current via a dash switch or ECU etc that couldn't handle the amout of current itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_relay

If its was the crank sensor then there would be no fuel injected or spark at the plug, crank it, remove a plug, if its fuel soaked then you have an ignition problem, hold the plug in its lead against the engine block with a hammer handle and get someone to crank the car, do you see a spark at the plug? Relays can usually have the covers removed and contacts checked by eye, you can use a pp3 9v battery to fire a relay to watch its functionality.

The audi's back on refurbed OE 16 inch rims and looks better for it.

I always wanted stilauto sigmas for my MK2 Golf many moons ago, eventually got a set in 4 x 108 for our Audi Then sold them...................

Ooooh, that first pic is my new desktop pic, lovely )

Collect all dog ends for a while and watch for them leaving in the car, flag them down, open the door and deposit the dog ends on her lap........ If she askes what you think you're doing, just say you're returning her property

I'll express an interest depending on price of course, I'm not too far away from you to collect either

I wasn't saying there could be a chain issue, just that the 2 cam sensor signals could be viewed with VCDS to check there operation. The sensors are the same part number too, so if there was an suspected issue with lets say the inlet, then swapping them inlet to exh and vise versa if the code changed with the swap out then it could confirm a sensor to be at fault without shelling out on a sensor?

See post 96, you can view cam timing and the sensors themselves with VCDS with measuing blocks 208 and 209. http://www.r32oc.com/general-chat/9621-timing-chain-4.html

I've broken 3 cars in the last 4 years, as said its time consuming and postage is expensive - people want to pay very little! Ebay selling fees soon add up and you can end up being a busy fool if you sell too cheaply - if I'm not making above minimum wage I'd rather put it in the bin is how I look at it now, removal, packaging, then a drive into town can easily take 90 mins, so after ebay fees, paypal fees, (recorded) postage and packaging, petol costs, parking costs etc your £30 sale nets you around £15 for 90 mins work. I'd rather hang out for cash on collection, remove it and hand it over and pocket extra cash too. I broke a mk3 golf tdi estate - bits sold very well! Golf V5 estate not so well. Seat Toledo V5 20V has been a slow seller, lots left, little interest. Skoda octavia 1.8T lined up next as no one wants to buy a car needing a full service, cambelt and clutch in the near future............... That's another thing, once you start doing it you're hooked, If I can't get £XXXX for it I'll break it, its a downward spiral.............

I paid £155 for a set in used but sound condition - thats prety much what they go for. I also have 2 new old stock wheels with different part numbers on, non are 7 inch wide. The original plan was to look for another pair of NOS wheels to complete the set but I could only find them at £300 each hence buying a used set.

Did you do anything to stop the bolt chaffing the wiring? Nice work BTW

Yes thank you - It slipped my mind to let you know, sorry
