my car's back (again)

what variant of the 1.8t have you got in there mate

[Golfgal]

Gonna give me a ride in it then Dizzie  

[Dizzie]

I'll give you the ride of your life Sarah  

It's the 180bhp version from a TT. Should be running about 210, but that figure is a guess until it gets on a rolling road.

I popped another mk3 16v starter on and it fired up instantly.

My gearbox is still difficult to engage 2nd on the downshift. Is there any adjustment I can do to it '6?

[golfvr6]

What box have you got? a cable shift box i take it.
It can be adjusted, but special tools are needed.
There is a basic adjustment, but unfortunately i won't be able to look it up for a couple of days as its packed, i'm moving house of Thursday.
In all honesty if there any niggles with it, contact the garage, they sound like a bunch of useless muppets, don't let them get away with sub standard work.
Did they replace the engine by the way?

[kniterider]

have to agree with 6' here dizzie, for the amount you paid you should be able to drive your car away in a 'fully operational manner' if there are things that are wrong that should have been right on collection ie: starter motor, and this gearshift problem, i would return it in an instant, never pay for substandard work, the word cough 'small claims court' cough, cough springs to mind........

Did they replace the engine by the way?

what was wrong with the old 1?

[red_golf]

With custom work like that theirs always going to be teething problems.

There was nothing wrong with the old engine, dizzie wanted a TT engine !

[golfvr6]

Yeah i agree, but teething problems the garage sould sort out.

[Dizzie]

the starter has been fixed now and starts perfectly. The gears are ok, just need to get use to them.

yeah the box is from a mk3 16v so it's cable shifter.

I just can't be arsed to go all the way down there again just for this. it'll cost me more than ?30 in fuel and it's a day to do the journey. I'll fix it myself. I like doing that.

M777CUSGTI, nothing. Like Ross said. I wanted a TT one.

I'll take some pics tomorrow hopefully so you can all pick faults

[marcus123]

oh ok,

thought you were getting TT 1 in the 1st place
