Sorry for mini hijack Dip, but have same stereo and looking for a 420i for it, few on eBay. What iPod do you have, as understand there's problems with some. Not sure if this is earlier ones, have a 2nd gen touch, don't suppose you know if it'd work??
I know from searching that this is a t**t of a job on phase 1. Is it a job for a specialist or local garage. My local garage is very good, but not sure what's involved, and my nearest specialist is about 130miles away. Is it worth making the journey, or is it straight forward just awkward for an...
Has anyone got a vid of noise waterpump makes if on way out please???
Have done a vid but software wont let me upload at min..:mad:
Does it sound like a GT TDI, and the noise increase with revs??
Cheers, Kev.............;)
May well be corrected mate, but car shouldn't really use gearbox oil. Changes are beneficial to prolong life of gearbox, and also make changes slicker. Recommended as gearboxes are a little bit fragile..
Have a strange 'crackly' sort of noise going on with phs 1 at the minute. Haven't as yet been able to find out exactly where it's coming from..
Sounds like something is shorting or similar, but am pretty clueless at min, till have afternoon off on Thursday to look.No problems with starting...
Bit of a funny noise coming from my engine bay at the min. Haven't located 100% yet, but have been reading about dephasers. I realise these are usually changed with cam and aux belt kits, but my car isn't due any belts...
So, how much am I looking at for a replacement dephaser fitted? Am I...
Re: Eds ph1 172 - The soon to be controversial project!
Heard ebay ones were a s**t fit on phs1's ed. But if you're telling me different, will be investing..;)
Re: Eds ph1 172 - The soon to be controversial project!
Looking good Ed! Phase 2 lights, phase 1 bumper ftw!! Really need to sort me a stealth exhaust. Where you got repeaters from ed? Genuine Renault?
I know they're already back on Edd, at least know you know now to sell the Turinis on!!
Look wrong on her. Be interesting to see what the black F1's look like, maybe with some red decals??
Got a 'x' plate silver phase1 mate, with anthracite F1's. Not sure if it's where you work but see your car parked up outside a shop on way into Wakefield a lot. I work in the place near there with the 'big wall'.
Was a couple of cars behind you going into Wakey today, about 1ish. Also saw you...
Saw original ad and car did look in vgc. Glad you got one in end mate. Tbh though due to condition, I'd have kept it bog STD other than subtle lowering etc. F1's ftw IMO!!
Are you trying to make it look like a 200 at front?!?:rasp:
What's in that kit Hutchie? And is it under £1500:rasp:
As already said best thing you can do is not abuse it too much especially from cold. More frequent oil changes as milage creeps up, making sure use genuine synthetic oil.
Couple on here with decent milages mate. Remember even if average milage has been done, 100k will be on the horizon now. As said, servicing is the key.
Mine is on 117k at min;)
