Just asking the question, but what’s the point in a 100cel cat?
Most 200cel cats struggle to get through MOT emissions these days, so surely it’s either 200cel and thrashing it before the MOT, or decat and a frien

Is that £600 just for the part or fitment too?
To get at the loom it would need the intake manifold off - an awkward job, wonder what the book rate is for that.

The whole change in brand Pudding was talking about is intriguing - why would a tyre company be making intake throttles - Simple, they bought out VDO. nbsp

Good evening

So after changing the rocker cover, pcv and pipes it still ideas poor and hunting. So took the air box and MAF off reved it up a little and took it for a spin and its 99% better maybe just a little hint of it but nothing major. Should I be getting new MAF or is this pointing to something else?

There’s a conspiracy theory floating around that BP fabricated their driver shortage to try pressure the government into expanding the visas for drivers so they could pull in more cheaper Eastern European drivers rather than pay local ones the proper market rate. One way or another, it’s going to be an interesting winter….

The Loba chews through cam followers, as does any pump with stronger spring than stock. For that reason I would choose VIS for value, and Integrated Engineering for long term reliability.

Hi All,

Tried searching to see if anyone had a similar issue but couldn’t find anything or went screen blind searching!

I have a November 04 build GTI that has just just been into VW to try and diagnose my lack of Air Con.

They checked for leaks and then filled the system and it works but they advised that the Compressor was weak as it took a while

My wife has a 2nd hand 2008 Golf+ which developed this fault about 4 months after we first got it. Long story short, the problem in our case is with the loom connector in the door pillar.

Hi all, Seeing if anyone is interested in my 3 door shadow blue GTI. It is a nice example of a standard car with no rust. I am not in any need to sell however it seems a shame as it has mostly been in storage this year due to other projects so I would let it go to another enthusiast. Details as follows:

Four Michelin PS4’s fitted on 6th January 2021. Full service carried out on 4th January 2021 including genuine VW cambelt and water pump, oil was replaced with Millers Nanodrive CfS 5w-40 NT+. Both rear brake calipers have been replaced with TRW OEM calipers. PCV and DV have been changed (GFB+ DV fitted). Currently on a private plate and this is not included. Lots of receipts and history with the car and fully stamped service book present. Fitted with full leather including armrest, and RNS510 with Bluetooth phone connection. I have just had the front arch liners out and all wheels off for a clean and seal ready for winter. 99k miles, manual.  £5750. Kent.

Servicing - I’m the 5th owner and owned since 2014 and previous was a family member:

It has had an oil service approx every 10k miles or 12months. 19 services in total with stamps in the book plus I have kept all my paperwork from 2014.

156k Oct 2020 VW

Thousands spent mechanically:
new suspension at 143k miles in May 2019 as above with all new stretch bolts, new trailing arms/bushes rear and consol bushes front and wheel alignment,
inlet & injector clean and full engine health check by Rtec in August 2020.
New cam belt at the same time (which was previously done at 80k and 120k miles so in line with vw recommendation).
New cam chain, tensioner, vvt cover and sum clean by VHub 2019.

Other work carried out; Driver window motor, abs module, rear brake disc heat shields, pcv valve, diverted valve, cam follower, brakes, bonnet latch, cam shaft position sensor, several pipes/hoses as and when they became brittle, CV boots, drop links, roll bar links, thermostat, Carbon clean, Central locking on drivers door, new windscreen.

Bad bits - I’m sharing this info to be honest and because I’m a gti enthusiast and hope that a likeminded person buying will appreciate that knowing these things is better than not which is more likely if buying from trade or non-enthusiast private owner. These points are mainly cosmetic and what I planned to do next if I weren’t selling, and are reflected in the price. I’ve had quotes for as little as £600 to fix the bodywork which isn’t much compared to the thousands spent elsewhere on maintenance. I’m not a mechanic so it’s sold as seen with no guarantees.
- Bodywork is clean but usual rust appearing on arches, sills and boot lid. Some stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet. Some rust on the underside components like sub frame which is common for many vws.
- Air con works but the compressor is original so may need replacing in due course. The motors/actuators within the dashboard which move the air to different vents in the cabin make a noise.
- interior trim has some wear and tear like the gearstick gaitor, but the seats are in very good condition.
- it had a new battery about 4 years ago but think it needs a new one since I’ve only done approx 1000 miles in 2 years due to COVID so it’s been garaged for that time on a trickle charger.
- rear near side outer tail light can fog up if is persistent rain.

Thanks for looking. Pm if interested. The usual disclaimer of no time wasters, test pilots, proof of insurance needed, no agencies or withheld numbers. £4495.
