Going to give it a clean tomorrow, it's £150 for a new one, so I'll try and clean it, cheers mate : )

The last 6 months my economy has just gone down the toilet, Anyone else having this problem? Its been serviced every 5k miles, ive cleaned the throttle body, inlet manifold, icv valve, no fuel leak and runs fine, my spark plugs are black, meaning over fueling, and the car is a mk2 arosa on 36kmiles and 52 plate, Any ideas? Can the expansion tank get stuck? Does anyone have a diagram of the expansion tank? Cheers

yeah in pictures its not to clear, and most wont answer over christmas! ahhhh Defcon, explain, PM me the details!

Hi all, About to buy a Lupo GTi until i found out not all are 6 speed gear boxes, how do i tell if they are 5 or 6? like everything with a 51 plate up? as a rough guide? Cheers!

Hi all, here are a set of Ronal Teddies i had for my Arosa which i have made the regrettable decision to sell, They are all in good nick, and all tyres have good tread Here is a link to the picture of them http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24864537/Photo%20Nov%2026%2C%2016%2005%2040.jpg £300 PM me for details : ) I also have some BBS RZs which have been sand blasted and ready to prime and paint, which came standard on Mk2 golfs which im selling for £100 without tyres Both 4x100 vw fitment

Okeydoke cheers mate, I tend to slouch when I'm tired so don't want to power my spine everytime I his a bump! And seeing as where I live in Lincolnshire, the roads are like the peak district....haha

I've always used Castrol Edge 5w/40 as there the oldest, well known make : ) £35 for 4L in asda, £55 in Halfrauds!

Also try and check out the Lupo GTi seats, I have them in my arosa and with my back they are a million times better than the lupo and arosa standard ones, also, when I get coilies, for only dropping 50mm will it be more rigid than shorter springs and shocks?

Get your mate to vag com it and reset the faults (if he used vag com) : )

The rubber around the oil cap deteriorates letting moisture in, and it's the moisture in the air, so it goes down the air lines which mixes with the oil vapour which therefor causes the cream in the lines

And as I posted this I have experience the same problem a few days ago as my mpg was down the toilet, You need to get a carb spray cleaner and spray it through all pipe work connected to that pcv piping, it's mainly caused by a faulty oil top up lid, is it yellow around the cap? If so you need a new one from vw, £6 But that black thing underneath the throttle body with 2 pipes going to it, remove it and spray carb cleaner Into that for a few seconds, aload of black crap came out of mine, then, unscrew the throttle body, just 4 screws, unplug the lead to it and the 2 pipes and give it a good spray on the bottom and clear all that crap out, While the throttle body's off, give it a quick spray inside the intake manifold, below where the throttle body was and down the pipe you will see in the middle, put everything back together. Lastly, you want to spray down all the pipes that connect on the air box, the big pipe, and 2 little ones, then once that's done, start your engine, with air box off, and give a few sprays into the throttle body while running, will give it a nice clean further down, when you first start it, might take a while, that's just because the cleaner is slowing the air flow, it will start after a few go's Re assemble and hopefully problem solved!

The rear washer sprayer line, happened to me and a few people I know and some people on here! Better the general model wide fault be on that rather than something expensive like a fuel pump that blows every few years! Cough 'my parents French heap' cough haha

It's the side behind the passenger, I had this problem, your rear washer water line has come apart, it runs from the bulk head all the way down the side of the car, up by the side of the seat near the plastic moulded pocket up by where the seatbelt wheels in, under the plastic trim where the top of the seat belt is where the washer line has a connector, that will have come apart, what you need to do is dry it, dab abit of super glue on it, hold them in place, then gaffer tape them over, they won't move again! Hope you sort it, easy but tedious job!

hmmm, sounds like a nice tricky electrical problem...give what i said a try and if not, you'll have to keep posting until someone who knows more about car electrics replies

Also, EGR Valve? anyone got a pic?
