Yeah I walk about smothered in cream all day long, my bf wont come near me at night cos my skins so greasy, and I scratch away in my sleep! lol, I think I'm turning him gay!
if nothing has worked i would suggest trying hemp from the body shop.
its about £12 for a tube but a little goes a long way. its amazing stuff!
you can notice the difference after one application!

OK my engine management light has been on since I bought the car. I was told by the chap I bought it from that it was some sort of sensor that needs replaced, and he was quoted £110 for it inc labour.
I was in a garage getting something done and asked them about this, and they said its to do with the ECU, is it likely to be the lambda or could something else cause this then? Car appears to be a slight bit smokier around the exhaust when its started, but tbh I couldnt really comment a lot because as I said its been on since I bought it.
I used Vagcom to try and see and it came up "cannot find baud rate" (or mode??), what the hell?! We couldnt clear the light either! Car runs perfectly fine, just this light on!
Any advice would be great thanks
i bought my car with the light on, paid 140 to change the lambda sensor, stayed off for about two months and now it turns itself on and off as it pleases!

Whole unit im afraid dude. I had something cvery similar to me after a cowboy mechanic tried to remove mine by digging it out with a screw driver instead of un-screwing the spoiler like i asked him to
thought that might be the case! yeah looks like they have used a screwdriver. really dont know why anyone would want just the lens tho! Hmmmmm
do you know how much they cost and where i can get one, had a quick look on the net today but nobody seems to list a lupo gti one!
-
as i was washing my car yesterday i noticed that someone has very kindly stolen the lens off my brake light in the spoiler.
a nice chunk of paint has also been gauged out! grrrrr
anyone know where i can get a lens from or do i need to get a whole new kit for it?
cheers

hi guys, im currently shopping around for a full exhaust system for my gti but really dont know what make to go for.
ideally i want a single exit back box, only managed to find one at demon tweeks so far which is a powerflow one,
any help would be great, cheers!

what
no wayyeah its registered to the car not to you!
-
yes but you still own the licencing for the plate so u can transfer in on to any of ur cars
i nearly lost my plate due to my fellas brother writing my car off.
you only own the right to display the reg on your car, not the actual number plate.
so if a car gets written off and you cant transfer or retain the plate quickly enough the insurance get it!
-
is this still happening or has everyone given up?
