WS6

A mate bought his box of tricks round, plugged it in and seems its a misfire on cylinder 1. 4 new spark plugs put in and it seems problem solved, if that's all it then it's nice cheap fix. Makes you wonder what some garages check/replace on a service

Started the car for the first time in 2 weeks and it started but felt lumpy. Pulled off the drive and headed down the road, got to just under 3000rpm and engine check light came on. Drove round the block and home, seemed really under powered. Came to put the car back on the drive later today, light comes straight on and stays on, lacks power and sounds a bit 'tappy'. Manual says exhaust emission warning. Anyone else had this? Just want an idea of what it might be before I decide to go to main stealer or just my local garage. Thanks in advance Mark

It is more of an air cooled show, I am going for breakfast and to pick up a few bits for my bay, try ultimate dubs at telford, more water cooled show

Thanks Rich, it's a dash changer so hopefully nice and simple

Hi, I have been offered a complete unit, tape/radio and 6 cd changer from a 1998 Golf, would this fit straight in my Lupo gti in place of the single CD player?

I had never noticed the mileage stay on before, will try and reset service again

Hi, I noticed this afternoon when I parked and took the key out the ignition that the mileage reading stayed shown on the dash, never seen this happen before. It's also showing service, which I have removed before but can't do it this time as the mileage is staying on. Any idea why it's doing this, it's been parked 20 minutes and still on now

Nice Lupo, good colour choice. Love the splitty, we have a late bay. I had a horrible squeal from front passenger wheel on my gti, it turns out it was the dust guard rubbing on the back of the disc

I was chatting to you and your dad when you were leaving, good day, I got sunburn!

Thanks all - defcon5, did you have any problems driving (apart from smell)? I have heard loss of power can occur but I have not noticed anything

We had egg sandwiches but the smell was still there after lunch!, I think it must be cat, can't smell it at exhaust but can in the car. Perfect timing with mot next month. Anyone any idea of cost/availability?

Garage Tuesday then

If there is some then change the battery?

I heard about the sulphur in the battery smelling, how would I know if it was battery overcharging, or is it just buy new battery?

Smell is bad when I first start the car and when I come to a stop in traffic, is it my cat? If so, any idea where and how much I can get a new one? Thanks
