Cheers gents. Got it undone :D

I can't get a strap wrench in to undo the black retaining ring, and it's too tight to move by hand. Any ideas?

M'kay - Why?

So, if you could (and the chances are, you can) which would you have? As a man in his mid thirties I'm struggling! REALLY struggling, so can you help? I particularly mean the models I have mentioned. I actually woke up dreaming about this dilemma the other night and couldn't go back to sleep (I know - sad, but still a fact). I'll still keep the VR, but have disposed of a Fiat Coupe Turbo and need A.N.Other car. The C will still be day to day but .....what else? HELP!!!!!!! p.s - last set of posts - solution was new leads and rolling road - 118,000m - standard with good plugs, new leads and K & N - 193hp Truly best car I have ever owned...

£40.54 inc vat for 6 from Euro Car Parts on the Valley...

Cheers Chris that would be mint. I'll pm H8RRA now. Any suggestions on which plugs I should get? Paul

RW1 - cheers for that. I've read many of your posts researching this problem. The problem started because the car had what I thought was a starter motor problem. It sould be fine for a long time and then you would get in and twist the key and nothing would happen. Usual lights on but no response. Had the starter motor changed but the replacement didn't work so put the original back on. The rough running has pretty much started after that. One additional thing - before this I put some Slick fuel treatment through which made me think that it might be the plugs. Not sure how to remove them - I'll do a search on here after typing this. (I once put Slick in a 1973 Saab 99 which promptly shifted all the shit, blocked things up and blew the o-ring off of the oil filter dumping 5 litres of oil on the road.) Chris - we met at Leeds. I've got the sherry coloured C with red centre nuts Will you drop me a line and let me know when you would be able to help? I'm kinda pissed with the car at the moment and, owning a Fiat Coupe Turbo, my stomach lurches at ANY sign of trouble! Thanks

HI Does anybody in/around Newcastle have a vag com they could attach to my very rough running car? It feels like it's only running on 5 cylinders, slight petrol smell on start up and has been doing that whole dropping to really low idle or stalling when coming to a halt/running in slow traffic. I think I need to start by doing an ECU reset. Any help would be gratefully received. Cheers P
