Re: CAR FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so the turbo turns out to be okay, so I'm thinking I'll drive the car while it still has an engine warranty on it as the new engine comes with a years warranty... If the cat has busted I'm going to sell my custom back box, put back on my miltek and put a decat pipe on it..

Re: CAR FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!

More news! i've been advised by a friend (also experienced mechanic) to drive the car as little as possible when i get it back, as it's very possible debris of the knackered parts and scored barrel could end up in the turbo... i'm just curious if anyone has heard of this before? it obviously makes s...

Re: CAR FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!

Not a clue sorry blower! But basically it's 2 and a half grand and Volkswagen won't give me the time of day, luckily I have a friend who works in the business of reconditioned engines, so I'll put one of those in, drive it until the warranty has 3 months on the engine and then sell the car, I'm gutt...

Re: Scratchy noise behind steering wheel 2010

If you don't have an airbag light on, it's worth talking to someone about it, I'm not sure you can split the clockspring unit, I know mines gone and the whole thing needs replacing, but if you're under warranty you'll be alright

Re: Scratchy noise behind steering wheel 2010

I had this happen! Eventually the clockspring/steering angle sensor snapped and my steering wheel controls and air bag stopped working.. The unit is about 250 pound to replace and program I believe, the noise you're hearing is debris/dirt, grinding through the clock Spring I think... Or that's what ...

Re: H&R vs. Eibach vs. Vmaxx

I have Vmaxx springs on my roc, the ride is obviously a lot harsher, but you could also say you can feel the road below you more.. Haha! For the price, the drop they gave the car and their performance, I am very pleased with them!! I would recommend the vmaxx springs to anyone!

Re: Fallen out of love, then back in love
