Tommy's Tornado Red GTI
Gtcpaul1971:
Just a quick review of Midlands VW in Cannock. Had my timing chain and tensioner changed. Some other garages wouldn't do it without having adjuster done as well but funds and need wouldn't stretch to that. They said it was preferable but they would do it for £350, which was fine. It was sounding like a diesel and had done 120k miles so I thought I would get it changed as a precaution. Took 3 hours and it sounds great now. No diesel noise so very happy.
Cam belt and water pump next...... has been changed twice, with the last being in 2014 at 73k miles so I guess nearly 50k miles later is probably due.
Very knowledgeable guys and travelled 50 miles to get to them. Would do that again definitely. Thumbs up for them.
On a side note - got a previous shape Seat Ibiza 1.0 3cyl 75hp loan car from them. Is this the engine magazines rave about? Awful, sounded like a lawnmower!

Just a quick question if somebody could help me out, ‘are all GTI’s R32’s when silver, Reflex silver paint code LA7W?’
Or if there is another silver colour does anybody know that paint code
Cheers...

Having a really annoying problem with the rns510 in the wifes Mk2 Leon(08) and it’s starting to drive me crazy. It was all working fine up until recently when problems started to appear. First up, we started noticing that if it was left turned on when we exited the car - upon return it wouldn’t come on automatically with the key in the ignition like it used to. When turned on it connects to the bluetooth module and then asks for the code. Sometimes however it does come straight on and will work fine. Other times it will work and ask for the code mid journey. The volume control buttons on the msfw have recently stopped working also which is strange.
First off I reset all the settings and rebooted it which made no difference so decided to scan it for faults and got the following:
00469 Data bus Display / Infotainment in single wire enterprise
01300 Control Module for Navigation with CD-Rom (J401)
01304 Radio
So after searching the internet it looked like the 00469 suggests that one of the CAN wires could have become disconnected. Removed the stereo yesterday and no sign of broken wires. Don’t suppose anyone has any ideas? Is it likely a broken wire elsewhere?
Someone broke into the car about 4 years ago and the stereo was replaced by the insurance and has worked fine up until now. From looking at the part number I think it’s a version L?
