now 174k with a new timing chain tensioner, i can stop cringing now....

170k on my 1.8T, still the same everything but timing chain is trying to escape when it's warm

someone who's used to Event tyres obviously haha. going back to the goodyears i do side with you on outright grip, infact an ADAC test i have here in the wet they only came 2nd to the continental sport contact 5. I just liked the feeback the RE050A's gave which i'd like to keep, the old RE010...

great feedback, ideal :) I don't push the B5 about so not fussed about getting heat in the tyres ect, I use the Integra for that

i'm just wondering what to get myself as it's time to get the winter wheels off, current summer tyres are RE050A's but they are discontinued unfortunatly, i like the feedback they give as an old B5 needs all the help it can get in that respect. I think i'll go with RE040's this time around

as mentioned above there are many cars with factory fir HID's without washers or self leveling, and you really don't have to look far to find factory HID's in reflector lights. While i can't stand lights that dazzle everyone it's a bit unfair to attack everyone with retrofit units, if they were...

how odd, mine does the same thing when it hits 3 degrees or less and has done since i've owned it, no fault codes or anything so i just live with it, always off by the time i get going on a morning anyway. Probably a bit late to answer but the criteria has changed for the MOT, just has to be...

no but have read pelican blue is the same code? so went for that instead

no love for the Kingfisher blue :(

i'll have a nosey at it, did think it would be the seal on the tank but can't smell sod all there. geting bored of throwing money at it now, kinda lost faith after the oil pickup blockage which has done it's damage to the timing chain, oh and it's rotten wings

let me know when you find it, i've had the fuel smell at junctions for a while now and can't work out where it's coming from

hi all, I have a 1.8T sport (AWT) with a suspected inner or outer joint problem on the offside (knocks like hell when slowing down but goes when braking or accelerating) can't feel anything unusual and I've had similar before on saxo's. Problem I have is time is never on my side as I do a lot...

i have the same issue on mine although i knew all along it has normal springs and dampers on the rear. however after a few calls one of the suppliers i used at work did find sport application aftermarket springs, wasn't the same engine code as mine but still listed for a 1.8T. i think they were...

well thats the bottom end cleaned out, engine flushed and new oil/filter. took it for a run and seems to be ok, i'll pick it up tomorrow but fingers crossed should be fine and lesson learnt considering i wasn't aware of the issue but everyone else on the planet is lol

didn't bother checking the pressure as the top end was telling me the full story. got the sump off tonight anyway and it doesn't look pretty so i'll give it a clean out and see where i'm at, can get a new pump for less than £100 but not sure if thats overkill or not considering the debris in the...
