i have seen a few citi golfs (not r line) for sale but they have needed resto work - usually inner wings for some reason and possibly not for our climate tbh. vw are apparently considering a new version called the golf light - a budget golf aimed at countries like south africa

always good to see another G60

cant see how they can put a cat marker on it if it has not had an insurance pay out of some sort? is the original reg not known?

yes the 16v golf will easily beat a rallye (standard) but a 4 wheel drive golf is a unique experience when thrown about 9

wow that is serious money for that car even with that mileage and colour remember the golf rallye was a total failure for volkswagen and having owned one you quickly get used to the left hand drive but with switching vehicles i was caught out several times especially at petrol stations going to the wrong door after paying!

bloody hell - parts car and as above £200 - wonder how long its been sitting?? someone is smoking something look at the drivers cill

both cars look fantastic - a real credit to you i did not think you could get insurance to that value to be totally honest - well done i attempted to carry out some welding on my mk2 today and gave up after 6 bloody hours just could not get it right - either not enough penetration or it was blowing holes i just cut everything out again and vw's waxol alternative did not help as soon as i applied heat out it came

Seems to be normal when fitting replacement screens - get as much sealant as possible onto the frame fit the screen and as a result you will find the A pillar trims and head lining plastic strip are bonded to the screen also!!

i dont know to be honest - my car did have an after market alarm / immobiliser fitted but had partially disconnected and i removed the remaining during a tidy up

my car does this as well

993 my ultimate porsche just the right size - unlike todays 911 which are huge in comparison Many years ago i spoke to a porsche fanatic who was having to give up ownership due to marriage and children told me that if you get the chance to buy one take it as you will not regret it if you are into fast cars (dont know if that true about the 996 or early 997 though)

astra gte - i had a mk1 in the early 90's - a very good car which i thought had a brilliant driving position - felt like you were sitting on the ground. The throttle response was fantastic due to it being a very early system compared to a mk2 golf digifant. Rust was taking a serious hold of it and it had to go

yes i remember these cars - did the renault 16v have a bonnet scoop?? these were very quick cars in their day but i did not like the dash at the time. like all hot hatches as they became cheap they were thrashed to death and now all previous owners would like to own one again. seen one advertised a while back as a resto project but it needed serious body work and i would assume body panels are hard to find for these cars

very common on all mk2 golfs and jettas i had the same issue - i tried a so called heat / high temp adhesive cant remember the name lasted only a couple of months and was worse than when i first attempted to repair, i think most people now use a substitute material - suede., alcantara etc and if reusing the original backing but it is essential that all traces of the previous adhesive are removed. to me is sounds that the trimmer has used the wrong adhesive to be honest - no doubt it will be your fault as you needed to tell him what adhesive to use!! by the way is the replacement fibreglass base a good fit seen them advertised on ebay as we are all aware the original crumbles as you remove it.

i would think you are going to need to get a known working standard g60 ecu and have a basic set up carried out the running issues may be down to other items

Cant believe it DOX, Took the bleed nipple completely out put a few turns of PTFE tape reinstalled a hey presto NO BUBBLES as you say vacuum yes positive pressure no THANKS

i will try it and see

strange its only the rear drivers side the reservoir is 28 years old and is cloudy so cant really see things inside.

pedal feels good always has. i will give it another hour this evening see how it goes

seems to taking a lot of time and wasting a lot of fluid yes its the drivers side rear too

using a sealy 820 clutch and brake bleeding kit Has a internal hand pump i boost to 1-1,5 bar

after a recent clutch master cylinder replacement i have decided to give my car a complete brake fluid change, my last mot the tester said that the rear brakes were not operating to their required efficiency but as the car had recent disc and caliper replacement he let it pass (just) so today using a pressure bleeder all was going well until i got to the offside rear - plenty of air bubbles however some 4 litres and several hours later still getting micro bubbles does 4 litres seem excessive - had to stop as i have run out of fluid. how much fluid should it roughly take?

wow they do look fantastic - make my standard leather seats look ordinary

your running issues are probably down to various leaks on the boost system and other vacuum lines and plus if the car has not run for 15 years the fuel filter / lines/ injectors blocked . to be quite honest it possibly is a multitude of things. who fitted the eaton charger ??? Dont let another corrado go to the scrap yard in the sky!!!

Yeah its a pity - i have 2 vw dealerships close by one part of a large chain and the other small independant the large chain is always cash up front when ordering and i went in one saturday morning and the guy on the parts department was rude to say the least (ordering parts for older cars) looking back i should have left and reported him to their hr dept. never been back. i know a tech from this dealership says its all run by accountants and only interested in the bottom line The smaller independant is very friendly and family run i believe - greeted with a smile going through the doors and the guys in the parts dept are brilliant take their time and pay on collection. if the part is not available they even check every other dealer in the uk to see if any have it in stock. get my business all the time now.
