cambelts on ALL vw's now 4 years regardless of mileage! having mine done early, as i got other issues with mine at the moment that needed the cambelt taken off to do! i only have to pay for the parts too, as warranty is paying the labour!

sorry there a bit crappy, but heres a few pics of work in progress!! this is what the camshaft actuactor looks like border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> this is the cylinder head border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> the old cam cover with the cams fitted still border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> this is one of the spark plug holes full of oil border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> the new red camcarrier/rocker cover! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

also, i'm pleased that my loan car for the weekend isn't a 1.2 polo, but a 1.4 mk5 golf! not gonna win any awards for acceleration, but is very comfortable and a million times better than the polo!!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

well, i'm lupo-less this weekend, as we had to order in some seals and bolts that we didn't have in stock, so i should have her back on monday! on the plus side tho, i will have a red cam cover!!!

All my gas struts are chrome!

take it off and put a sunglasses holder there instead lol!

not really no! i check my oil about 2-3 times every 2 weeks or so, but i've only ever topped her up once!!!

yep, my inside door pull handle thingys are black chrome too, as is the button for my handbrake.

its coming in where the rocker cover should be sealed to the cylinder head. theres a gap between the 2 where there should be a sealant, and its leaking in there. have been told it could be a fire hazard! we had an r32 at work that had been doing the same thing, and that caught fire! so i got myself a lovely 1.2 polo (always a 1.2 polo!) loan car from work!

my cat Dennis (yes really, thats his name), is the size of a bengal tiger, but with the temperament of soft cuddly teddy bear! his greatest 'kills' include rubber bands, and an un-used condom, all neatly laid out on the step, like he was really proud of it all! i do agree that they psis and siht everywhere! and even with a cat box, they still smell! This is Dennis border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

mine has got a gti key! am i the only gti owner without the ultrasonic button?! as for the mats, the ones that came with my car have got the stud cap fixings, but the second set i bought don't have any provision for fixing them down in the back at all! weird! also, i may well soon (fingers crossed), have a red cam cover top tommorrow, when i hopefully get my car back from work!

i do really like what ur doing mate! looks so so right! subtle and not ott! good stuff!

the twist mat fixings changed over in 2004

if it doesn't go back to vw and i get it, then no worries mate!!!

took my car into work for a 40k service (on 34k now, but keeping with whats in the service book), tech went to do the spark plugs, and found that on cyl 2 and 3, the holes are full of oil! i'm lucky i decided to have this service this week, as my car runs out of warranty tommorrow! so i've now got a new cylinder head cover on order, and having new cambelts/tensiners going on hopefully tommorrow! anyone else had problems like this?

i have clip down rear mats too!! mine doesn't have the switch to turn off the ultrasonic sensor. mine came with a leatherette gear gaitor, but is leather now (thanks warranty!) my grab handles are damped in mine too!!

Well done Sarah! U deserve this so much!

poor excuse really!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

WOW!!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

i got some too! was sold with the impression that they were ''limited edition'', so the description was very misleading, but they look ace so i'm happy! i'll post a pic when i get home!

oooh a massive list! lol COME ON PEOPLE!!!! THIS IS A GREAT SHOW!!!!

i like that too! i did mine in red, tho my gti is silver! good stuff!!!!

i've always been told, and have read, that the lupo has a 36 litre tank with a 6 litre reserve!

i'd be up for that! stonor was one of the best shows i went to last year!
