What! at last someone else has the exact same symptoms. Idle valve, great, my mpg goes down to 25 from 30, VW charged 340 (216 in the end, after I threw my toys onto their showroom floor), quid to replace it, and the f***kers didn't solve the problem! In the end they diagnosed wet plugs and new HT lead, 135 quid. :shock: C in tomorrow morning. Then onto A38 for bomb run. I recommend you check the basics before heading into VW diagnostics

Since 1990 I have waited to own, "the porsche killer", the headline on my aunt's ADAC (German AA magazine), and in August 2002 I took possession. Lilac 1994 VR with HPi 44000 miles and FSH, some VWFSH. Owned previously by a car collector, and had done 1000 miles in its previous year. Car sold to me by dealer in Burton, as, "as sweet as a nut". Pretty soon the sweet as a nut C, with which in the mad halceon early days I chased bikers up the A38, started to remove money from my bank account. Below find a list of the damage so far... :shock: Clutch, starter motor, ABS sensor, bushes, idle valve, HT leads, radiator, CV joint, steering rod, all in less than 16 months. All adding up to a tidy sum of over 1600 quid! They told me a rare low mileage C would hold value? Can anyone explain if this is common?, and if the extreme low mileage of this 94 C maybe to blame? Oh its not all bad news, the C is wonderful, mobile poetry
