As you know we have moved to a more reasonably priced server. I have setup this PayPal pool. Don't go crazy  I think the hosting will cost 20 to 25 a month but maybe less. I would also like to add an anti spam subscription which will cost 8 a year. DONE https://paypal.me/pools/c/8wS00vhDVI

Hi, yes got to admit I was surprised how clean it was inside and out for the miles. The stereo doesn'#039t work unfortunately and is only in there to stop the rattle of the wires until I get a new one. The guy who sold me it said it only needed a wiring harness, turned out to be a lie and the unit is knackered (had it bench tested). Shame as it'#039s still about £400 in Halfords. Will ch

I would be suspicious. They have replaced bits for codes suggesting a lack of fuel pressure. I don'#039t want to suggest this seller is sketchy...but I have often seen people selling the MK5 due to cam follower(CF) failure. I have seen some sellers go as far as saying the CF was inspected and is good. When actually, they found it worn away and only installed another CF. When one lets

Sadly it didn'#039t help nbsp  back off hols now and I'#039m going to take it down to the garage to see if they can help any further. They were getting a new diagnostic machine last week and seemed confident it would help. They don'#039t charge unless they fix so I'#039ve nothing to lose.

Re: Ideal Track day wheels and tyres?

Not sure if they will be ideal for track work... probably better than stock but considering the price might be better options. But if comfort is the highest priority they may be right for you. perhaps someone who has them or has a comfort biased setup can comment.

I did say it was your injector. Same thing happened to mine.
Ye mate thanks. I purchased another set of injectors had then cleaned and flow tested and new filter baskets all come back good. Putting them on this Friday hopefully and will keep all of you updated just inca
Tips for cutting twintercooler hot side hose?
Last Poster: M in Performance Modifications on February 23, 2021, 07:54:39 pm

I managed to trim the cold side hose perfectly, but the hot side hose was a bit of a nightmare. In an attempt to correct a pretty bad kink I ended up trimming the hose to the point where it was slipping of
Possible fix for low fuel pressure faults....

This is something becoming more common. People seeing; fuel cuts, car is cutting out on idle, low on power, won'#039t restart for a while, low fuel pressure codes, LPFP fuel pressure is found low in the data with high duty cycles.
Many times this gets misdiagnosed and many parts are being replaced while no remedy is to be found. Parts like; LPFP_LPFP control module_fuel fil
