Hi every1 thanks for your help before, it was the oil pick up pipe very blocked with crap, the local VAG garage has now replaced it, and she is back to full health, infact it feels faster than before more like when I 1st got it Cheers

I put snow tires on the front of my van this winter, still manage to get the back out round the roundabout, but can stop so much better and go off road now, if I drove my vrs more than only at the weekends I would definatly put some on there too

Iv put the texaco more expensive version in my petrol vrs a few times and it tends to juder on idle, but doesnt on the cheaper texaco fuel, it runs really well on optimax from esso tho

Do you not use your gears to slow down

Yeah its a mk2, I read / seen the pics in the forum for changing it on the MK1, I used to have a yellow 1 by the way, so figured its probly fairly similar to do?

Many thanks to you both, The VAG garage mecanic is obviously not so good, I had it serviced at VW within the last 3months as it was £100 inc mot, would cleaning the pick up pipe not be part of a normal service then? Im going to have a go at cleaning or replacing it tommorow Thanks again

Hello, My wife has been complaining that my beloved VRS keeps making a rattling noise on idle, which I never heard till she drove us home the other day, then the next day the red oil light flashed and beeped 3 x . I told her to turn it off for a bit and took it to the local vag specialist who says its low oil pressure and to only drive short journeys and if the light comes on to phone him and he would recover it, and he would look next week, Iv been looking on forums and they all say dont drive, to take off sump clean and replace pick up pipe, is this true please help Many Thanks Aran
