Wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

well bit of an update, its hunting idle a little bit, and is at its fullest extension on the dizzy, think all the engine work is beginning to rear its head that it is not happy.

This is the second valver in the slick saga, the last one i bought as a blown engine, got the parts replaced them and got it running before my brakes failed and i was slammed into a crash barrier upside down. Anyhow enough of that one.

So now i need to book it into somewhere like stealth for the day, and see what vince can do for me. Will hopefully be in the next 2 weeks that i can get down there and get everything sorted out. So no caining of the motor just yet, as it all needs to be settled down and straightened out first.

[>>Mart<<]

take your time buddy

i hope you get it all sorted out

f**k beans, now something under the steering column is smoking, not quite sure what but something is, have taken the housing for the ignition and top of the column off and nothing, am just wondering if it could just be a build up of dust or something as it was stood for almost 3 months. was sitting in the car park at work letting her warm up and then a slow line of smoke was coming out from around my knees. Dunno what it could be, oh well back to the drawing board.

have you checked the ignition switch?
Mine gave up the ghost at the end of last monthand although it looked ok from the back, when it was taken off it was all fried.
Just a thought, although, you probably checked that totally, unlike me.

happy for you slick.

I had that smoke coming from the ignition area after my dad filled the gti with deisel (he drives a van and forgot to pick up the unleaded pump )

Well just got the motor booked into Stealth nice and early (9am  ) on thursday. So will be leaving my house about oooo 7am at the latest. Its going to be put on the rollers, tuned, and have all the little niggles ironed out hopefully. Kinda getting all excited now as it might get a few more horses out of it, never know, i might have a 200bhp NA motor by the weekend.

well i am in bit of a rush to get it all sorted actually, as i need to go home this weekend. So tursday down to stealth, then back to staffs, and back home friday night, a good run on the motorway and some fast roads should get her back to her best. Yeah she will be good for dubfreeze, although earliest i will be there is about half 2 because of work. Good to hear the scirocco is going to be getting an outing too.

So its going to get a good run out then, it wont know whats hit it, on the sidelines for 3 months then with in a week its up and down the country al over the show!!

yea tell me about it, i bought it to be a reliable run around till my valver is back, but i have thrown more money at it than the cars worth so if anything else goes wrong and its on ebay!. Seems to be running alright tho, i dare not put my foot down as i am scared its going to die again!! like it did on sunday.
