  1. You should make a clock from the front RHS wheel center.. Im tempted, the misses wouldnt let it out on show im sure.
  2. Was it one of those really common owls - most commonly found in the kitchen Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
  3. Growler! Oosh Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
  4. Never heard a decatted diesel, or mfrec'd - id love to hear it though! YouTube doesn't quiet cut it Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
  5. Perfectly normal, will do this if you return to idle after cruising along. During a cruise the conditions are stable enough for the cars computer to demand an increase in exhaust gas temp. This will turn the soot in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) into ash, which will pass out the back of the car. If the process is stoped half way by way of returning to idle, there is a danger of deforming the DPF substrate. This is because as the residual temp in the substrate is high with unburnt soot, being fanned gently at idle you have a ray mears here's how to make a fire. It wouldn't turn into a fire, just highly concentrated temp. Hence the radiator fans at full wack to cool the exhaust canning Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
  6. Search mufflerectomy, something along those lines! Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
  7. +1 for nightbreakers, great lights Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
  8. Plenty of online car clubs that get 25% off ecp, making them better then halfords (who I think have put up trade prices, based on recent purchases not being as astounding as they used to be on rp vs tp). If you can't be bothered to look, PM me and I will pass on (to avoid getting the code blocked) Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
  9. Please delete (moved to another topic)
  10. Matt, did you notice a difference in MPG out of interest?!
  11. So chatter, presumably cheaper too? Is it really noticeable? Think one of my previous VRS' had a solid fly, or the dmf was ruined?! (clutch never slipped - pd150 turbo) but never found out exactly what it was obviously! Think my DMF is fine, looking through all the symptom lists - Unit18 can do a clutch change at a reasonable price, as much as i would love to give it a go, i have lost the access to ramps I used to work on so its just wether they take it out and find the DMF borked if I go Solid Fly or DMF!
  12. If its at a decent garage, then you dont need to be telling them what to do (be a good customer now!!). By the sounds of it, you have left off a gasket when replacing the items or left a bolt out / knocked out a vac hose - as its pointing to an air leak.
  13. Could you list the advantages and disadvantages - having been through both?!
  14. Thank you VUK/p123; luck what it is - I have a face lift! Good to know all the same
  15. Hey all, Got - another VRS.. (3rd + pd100!!) what I didnt find out on purchase was that the clutch was slipping slightly at 2.5k, milage is 115k so I suppose its to be expected (remapped). Looking at costing - I could cry, probably about the only downside to these brilliant cars (bar rear elect windows :p). Nonetheless you good people might already have been through this so; *I understand Sachs organic friction plate generally gets the thumbs up from everyone, do members get it cheap anywhere? Do we have links within the trade etc? *DMF I will get if needs be once the clutch is out - with the slave cylinder obviously being done! Eurocarparts? Tips etc appreciated - hope the removal should be similar to golf mkiv forum guides - perhaps I will get photos etc depending on conditions! Ta, Nick
  16. Anyone get an answer for this and VDS pro for the fabia Vrs?
  17. I don't need a car though buddy!
  18. Weekend bump for the most viewed VRS! Your chance to own a 170bhp car that always gets 55mpg and road tax of 110 in a year. Cheaper than all the VRS.s on eBay with a decent owner!
  19. Having had both 2 of the 1.8T engines and 2 130pd engines, you switching to the right side without a doubt. I however am selling with no need for another car :( thanks for asking all the same dude
  20. Not got an email from you dude!
  21. It's Deffo going, not unless the bloke doesn't want his deposit back! Would of thought black one would of sold first you odd people!
