  1. Piston rings is a notorious 1.4 16v problem The diesels are pretty much bomb proof Could be worn cam / tappets but id doubt it, more likely oil getting past the turbo... Oily exhaust??
  2. Saying that my mate bought a 51 plate 5 speed 110k for 2200 non crashed So 2k seems a mile off
  3. Holy sheesh... Not much going for it really... You might aswell keep it £1500?
  4. Ive read a few horror stories over on briskoda on the 1.4 16v far more likely to suffer piston ring failure if used on 95ron Vpower all the way
  5. Stuff the screwdriver / hammer combo Clean threads with carb cleaner then go crazy with wd40 Then a big set of stillsons
  6. Keep the vxr... For 4mpg is it really worth it My lupo has got 37mpg over 10k miles
  7. Email me back then! Zetec s tdci?
  8. Lol at the better response If anything will be slower, drawing in hot dirty air... Hmm
  9. Aye its in gates tyres fortnightly getting new tires
  10. That jdm dyno is the fastest corsa b in the uk i believe 550bhp Seen it in person
  11. Stuff samco and sfs Can get them On ebay twice as cheap!!
  12. Does a lupo have a boot anyways?
  13. Uhoh my bad just the thread title is a bit confusing on an iphone To me it reads colour concept gti.... So i thought it would be jazz blue Some 1st owners go crazy My golf mk4 tdi had heated recaro leather at a £2200 cost option Thats just bananas
  14. Haha busted!! Op owns a moon / replex gti and has bought some colour concept seats
  15. A family friend just got his 4.2 a6 done, total cost was £1700 But actually works out cheaper to run than my lupo gti now
  16. More likely the stat Housing would be more if you were losing coolant
  17. My brother used to work in the garage mentioned, they have had various issue of gunk in the tanks, last year it put 10 of our work vans off the road through fuel contamination There is nothing wrong with my engine thank you very much The other half has been told
  18. Yup that would be me... Running on 3 cylinders haha!! All sorted now though
  19. Seems you can get the stat for a shade over a tenner or the whole shooting match for £30 When i did mine i used the original housing (patent part) From vw considerably more around £30 for stat alone iirc
