Oil leak woes & "VW Specialist"

[boneybradley]

best way to find a specialist is talk to them..most are helpfull and you can normally tell by the shi7 they say if there any good.... I found a local vw specialist (accordin to the vw mags he advertised in!!) when my gearbox broke on my old gti and he kept saying it needs a new box and after a few weeks of him not getting any where and not being able to say what the problem was....i spoke to an old friend who ran a vw place a few years back and instantly he told me what the problem was and £12 part later all was fixed!!
and i have found a vw spares place that i can call and tell him what my problems are and normally he's spot on with the diagnosis...shame he's not a mechanic

Ive used MidlandVW a couple of times and can recommend them, they have been quick, efficient and reasonably priced, give em a call, Jodi is a very nice bloke.

Great stuff! I'm pretty well hooked up when it comes to aircooled, but the whole Golf thing is still pretty new to me!

Thanks!

i'm the same as you 88. i know my bug inside out, know where to turn when it all goes wrong etc!

i use a back street guy, he has a really good reputation in the town, often the price he charges is less than quoted and he knows his cars.  he has also just taken on a guy who's into his mk2's! he has rebuilt 2 and is currently doing a 20v turbo conversion. think i better keep in with him!

if anyone is from the north lincs area i'll let you know the garage
