I still really want an amp/sub but I can't see an easy way through for the power cable - and im an extreamly lazy person by nature!! Kenwood tube subwoofer plugged into 12v power socket in the boot? :shock: :oops: :P This is what I have in my boot http://memphis.craigslist.org/for/695602657.html&qu...

I've had the 100pd, and now have the 130pd estate, and the 100pd saloon did get better slightly better mpg. We almost always use our car around town for mostly short journeys :( and the mpg will average around 33mpg - 35mpg depending on how long the journey is, and whether we're using AC or not. But...

Oooh found this:

A friend got his Golf key cut by someone on ebay. You just take a photo of your key and email it to the person, they make the same cut, then there's a way of programming your own key from your other key and the car. (not sure how, but there's probably a guide somewhere).

I'm wondering if anyone's done this to "smooth" the look of the car, and also give it a miniscule MPG increase? Are they easy to remove, do I need to cover anything up if I did remove them? How do I remove them? I've never , ever used them, so I could remove them until I actually need them...

Just make sure you get a bosch one - there are others available and they aren't as good (in my opinion).

My old one was like this until I replaced the MAF sensor. These are easy to replace and are just after (air flow wise) the air filter box - if you unplug it and drive around and the car is better then this confirms it's a dead MAF sensor.

Do your back / side ones stay in? Mine don't - and they haven't given me any clips for these. Maybe it's different for estates?

Mine are in - but the one's in the back keep falling out! I think they need holding in with clips like the others - I'll have to get in touch with them tomorrow about it

Same thing happened to a friend - he thought the turbo was gone - turned out it was just the throttle position sensor - which he was able to replace cheaply from a scrapyard.

I want this!

Wow! Looks great! Wish I had the time!

What ET are the wheels? ET50? Does 20mm spacers make it ET30?

It probably needed a bit of money spent on the suspension etc and the chap wanted top money for it so we left it.

Thanks - the one's you've linked to look like these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20MM-Hubcentric-Spacer-Kit-Ford-Seat-VW-5x112-607_W0QQitemZ220209918567QQihZ012QQcategoryZ122154QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Would you recommend them then? See...

Cheers found em - looks good

Where did you get your spacers from? I need some for some wheels I've just got.

Thanks

:o Worth knowing thanks

Got a pic of the wheels? Changing my wheels today if the new ones fit...

Josh

Yep That's where I sold it in fact - to a chap in the cafe next to it

I'm looking at a Mk3 Golf tomorrow for a friend - 3dr, N reg, original alloy wheels, cd player...

Not sure what model or engine, but I think it's done 100k.

What should I look for?

It's £695 from a trader nearby and looks pretty unmolested and seems rust free...

Thanks

Josh

Ordered

I'm ready to buy today - perhaps someone just needs to phone - say there'll be 4 sets ordered - any chance of an extra discount?

Was told bhp is the same 163 - just lower torque by about 15nm?
My feelings are that it's a gentler curve so that it doesn't apply as much power at the lower revs.

I've had mine done, at roughly the same mileage... is yours the 6spd box? I can't say I've had any problems with the clutch so far. I went with the gentler remap, the performance seems the same up to 2000rpm, after that it goes like a ROCKET!

I've emailed as well lol

Maybe they'll do us free postage if we all buy at the same time?
