As the title says does anyone have a such a part in good working order or can recommend where I might be able to source a reconditioned one ? any help welcome. Many thanks John

Sorry to raise this topic once again but tried using the search function and could find exactly what i wanted. Want to upgrade the brake set-up on my A3 1.8T ('97 R reg) without upgrading the stock competition wheels. When I last looked into this I came to the conclusion I would buy BD...

Want to fit a new exhaust and thinking of plumping for the Supersprint Race exhaust (single pipe exit) with unsilenced centre section or silenced optional fitment, not decided yet. I have been told the diameter of the exhaust tubing is 2.75 inches. I currently have a Milltek high flow cat...

you may want to have you're water pump changed too as it's likely to fail sooner or later especially given your mileage. Mine just went recently at 62Kish.

Just got back from Derby Audi who have said It is the water pump so pat on the back for those who suggested it. Having it plus cambelt changed since latter due at 80K anyway and car done 62.5K - not cheap though, quoted £538 to do everything @ 4.5 hours labour.

still think somethings wierd, yet perhaps not as I'm certainly no mechanic....pulled all 3 fuses out on top on battery as already mentioned then checked coolant level....I had lost nearly all the contents of the container other than a small amount in the bottom, it appeared to have bubbled over...

must admit it's looking like the water pump as have checked all 3 fuses (30 amp) on top of battery and they look fine to me. What an Alan B!stard !

Thanks for the reply, just looking at the handbook and and it only mentions fuses in passenger compartment and doesn't list one for radiators, I will take a gander - thanks again.

I'm clinging to dear life based on your reply ! It is much appreciated so is everyone's for that matter - I will certainly post the outcome when I know for sure ! My car is 1997 R reg 1.8 T sport (registered in dec '97) and has covered approaching 62.5K miles. It does have 2 fans side by side...

o.k. but why wouldn't the fans come on ?

Thanks to both of you who have replied, I'd like to think it's a fuse yet given my luck it's likely to be the pump ! There has been a very faint whining noise of late from somewhere yet I've just ignore it as the car has been running really well, might that have been it on it's way out, do they...

any idea which one that is, I'm a complete novice with such stuff, I just wash and polish it ! Cheers

Had a whale of a time last time coming home during which I battled with a Lupo GTI and new shape Celica, evenually showed them a clean pair of heals, so it was fair to say i was driving the car hard. Having slowed down to take my bow from the catching opponents I noticed the temp guage rising...

I have a Scorpion system linked to a Milltek high flow cat and love it, nice noise and looks too.

At least you weren't caught shaggin', now that would have been horrific !

It's been a while since I last tinkered with the motor ('97 R 1.8 T Sport) in a search for more power and I'm bored....However itchy fingers and a few quid to spare have started me off thinking again that there must be something still left to do to liberate just that bit more power. I must...

when I said traction control I loosely meant all the gubbins that go into distributing power between the wheels in the event of lack of grip. I have a '97 R reg and cannot disable the above electronics also, surely you have had the sensation before when then accelerating hard in 1st or 2nd gear...

traction control kicking in I guess.

I first saw this car at the AMD Bicester meet last year or the year before and it's mint all the way down to the armorfend paint protection. To say it's been modded is an understatement, the list he showed me filled a sheet of A4!

Jesus Stu I'd keep the golf in that spec !
