  1. My spoiler stopped before it was all the way down and wouldn't work again. My sunroof also stopped working so realise it was the fuse (No. 16 15amp). When I changed the fuse all worked again. But when my spolier went down it did so very slowly and blew the fuse again.

     

    Any ideas?


  2. Coming home tonight in the dark i was giving my 16v some stick with another car following me. Due to the car behind having its headlights on, i noticed some smoke coming from my car. I've never noticed it in the daylight. Is this something that i should worry about?


  3. If you just use lowering springs (eibach in my case), is the ride stiffer that if you use lowering springs and shocks? Is the ride comfort alot better when you use both?

     

    The reason i ask is cause i'm sick of dodging pebbles on the road!!


  4. When changing gear at high revs, I can quite often hear a poping noise coming from the exhaust. It wasnt till my friend was following me tht he told me he could see flames coming from my exhaust. Not massive ones but very noticable.

     

    I've got a cat back, SS sytem, and my cat was removed. I got my mixture level checked and its ok.

     

    The previous owner drilled the airbox and i covered up the whole, but tried it uncovered recently (which sounded horrible) and the exhaust stopped popping!!!

     

    (2.0L 16v)

     

    Why would this be happening.


  5. Driving home tonight, i pulled up at a set of traffic lights which lead onto a dual carridge way. A little ratty 19 year old kev / townie, pulls up behind me in a bog standard looking 1.6 Puma. Being mature........i decided to nail it off and show him up. But he stayed right up my ass till i pulled over at about 95 (private road!!!!). To my horror as a pulled over with my right foot still planted, he shot off into the distance!! God knows what he had under the bonnet, but it sounded like a rally car even with a standard exhaust!!


  6. After an earlier topic about gearboxes, I went to ordered some redline MT90. They told me that I need four bottles (4L) at £15 each. Is this the right amount, and if so is it worth £60??? How much is VW gearbox oil?
