    Just filled up or thought I had

    Thought i'd risk it and drove home with it on empty. Managed to get another 20 miles out of it!

    Just filled up or thought I had

    to be honest. its been pretty accurate in the 6 years i've it. I've just read that anything under a couple of gallons on others doesn't register.

    Just filled up or thought I had

    Just been to local petrol station in my lunch break to fill up. A massive £5's worth approx 4 litres as I forgot my wallet on my desk. When I was driving back to work I noticed that the fuel gauge hasn't moved at all and the miles to empty on the dis is exactly the same. I was expecting another...

    Tailgate slamming shut

    Bit of a strange one this....my tailgate/boot door seems to slam shut instead of closing softly....its a bit worrying as there's a chance the rear window will smash one day. I was thinking it may be the raisers (or what ever they are called) that have had it. Would replacing them do anything...

    trying to fix rear screen washer

    I've been going through the threads on how to fix this and found that the pipe had come off in panel behind the airbox. I reconnected it but still nothing. I've checked for leaks in all the ususal spots but nothing. I then tried disconnecting it at the same point again (behind the air box) and...

    Do I sell or new engine time?

    thanks for the input guys, lots to think about. I've given up on the hybrid idea as I can see lots going wrong in the future (gearbox etc...) so kinda leaning towards a quattro now either the 2.0T/tdi or 2.5tdi doesn't seem to many quattro's in the diesels at the moment though? Only thing...

    Do I sell or new engine time?

    If I was to buy an A4 it would be the B6.....190bhp or maybe a 2.0T but the 330 diesel also sounds very appealing. A remap sees close to 250 bhp with stupid amounts of torque. A R33 GTST skyline also looks interesting but dont fancy the idea of filling up with super unleaded every time.

    Do I sell or new engine time?

    I've been looking at selling the A3 and getting something bigger, maybe a 2004 A4 or e46 330d which would set me back atleast 8K. I've recently started reading up on all the turbo upgrades on here and the vw forums...so now i'm in 2 minds. The A3's is a 1.8T, K03s, AUM engine, currently on...

    Losing Coolant!

    I had a similar problem not so long ago, was loosing all my coolant over night.... turned out to be the water flange which holds the temp sender. Look for coolant leaking around that area when the engines warm. Should be able to smell it aswell. Cheap and easy fix. Not a drop of coolant lost...

    VR6 Clutch kit = 021 198 141 A G60 Flywheel = 028 105 269 BX I think you need either 6 or 12 bolts, can't find the part numbers. Theres a good write up on the briskoda website. which is what I used for the part numbers aswell. Skoda were the cheapest when it came to the flywheel. VW...

    Loosing coolant

    Got home from work while it was still light so managed to get a good look. Found the leak, it seems to be the metal pipe above the clutch. Is this a simple job to replace or is it a garage job?

    Loosing coolant

    A small metal pipe has caught my attention several times, its looking fairly rusty and sits just behind the fan/radiator but it always seems dry. The only bit of fluid I can see in the engine bay is where the metal pipe runs towards the firewall (just under the MAF) even thats only a few...

    Loosing coolant

    The coolant warning light came on Saturday so checked and found that it had almost disappeared, couldn’t see any leaks so was abit confused as to where it had all gone. I topped up and now had the same problem this morning. Can’t see it leaking anywhere but noticed 2 or drops drops of brown...

    Jetex cone filter: my findings after a few logs

    Excellent post. I've got mine setup like in the first photo, tucked away down the side of the battery with a cold ait feed running from near the fog light. What difference it would make if the filter was connected directly to the MAF like in the 2nd photo?
