    Whats the correct grade engine oil for a 52reg Arosa 1.0?

    Hi all, I'll be changing the oil in my Mum's Rosy some time over the weekend and I wondered what the correct grade oil is and how much does it need. She does'nt do many miles and does'nt know what thrash means so it does'nt need to be all singing all dancing but it should be noted that winter is...

    Under Heating/Over Cooling???

    I've just had my (cam belt) water pump and thermostat changed along with fresh coolant and now my car seems to take ages to warm up. Driving home from work last night the water temp needle never moved until I gave it a few beans down a by pass and then it rose to the usual 90 degrees (By the...

    Water Temp upto 120 degrees then back to 90??

    Had a quick search but thought I'd ask for fresh advice. Had a spirited run down the by-pass earlier and my water temp shot up to 120 degrees, the warning light lit up and the alarm sounded. Eased off and the temp went straight back to 90 degrees. Drove through town stopping at traffic lights...

    Are Induction Heatshields really worth it? Anyone got logs?

    Pictures shamelessly borrowed from Markojay, thanks. I really like the Jabbasport heatshields and one would be perfect for my setup but I cant help thinking that it would be very similar to having a standard airbox if it goes upto the bonnet like this one appears to. This would surely...

    LCR Mudflaps

    Has anyone got mudflaps on an LCR? Not to everyone's taste I admit but I'm sick of cleaning all of the crap from the side of my car almost as soon as I've washed it!

    Anyone got any logs for an LCR 225 with Custom-Code Phase 1?

    As above really, I'm not sure if my map is requesting the correct boost and would like to compare logs, preferably 003 & 020, 115 & 031 and 118 & 032. Thanks in advance.

    Please help me to interpret this log. (Again)

    Ok, this is a log with measuring blocks 115 and 031, 115 is Engine Speed, Engine Load, Spec Boost and Actual Boost. The spec boost and actual boost are measure in mbar but at the risk of sounding a bit thick, what do these figures relate to in terms of psi/bar? In real terms in this log I...

    Vag Com Has Stopped working.*** Now Sorted.***

    Everytime I try to do anything with Vag Com I get the message, 'VAG COM Has Stopped Working' and the program closes. I'm using release 409-1 with Vista and yes, I'm using a pikey eBay cable but it connects ok when I do the Com port test. I'm new to this and could do with a bit of advice.

    Wishbone Bushes.

    I noticed today that my front wishbone rear bushes are starting to crack so will need replacing. While I'm at it I intend to change the front wishbone front bush, the front arb link bush and the bottom ball joints (have I missed anything?). I'm thinking of going for poly, probably Powerflex but...

    Worn Steering Wheel and Gear Knob.

    I know I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm sure that I read on here somewhere that LCR steering wheels and gear knobs are actually trimmed in red leather and are painted/dyed/whatever in black. Are paints available and has anyone tried them?

    N249 To by-pass or not to by-pass (That is the Question).

    What is the intended use fot the N249 and is it really worth doing the by-pass. I'm not convinced this is a good idea, I tried this mod but only for a quick run somewhere and back and if anything I had less boost and a bit of waste gate chatter. Is the N249 not there for a reason? What are the...
