    Question for the air conditioner of MK2~~~

    Are you refering to the pollen filter? If so then yes its easy to take out. It should be REPLACED not cleanedand replace it. If your not refering to the pollen filter then im sorry, i just spouted a load of crap for nothing lol.

    Want more power!!

    Buy a new car or strip the car. A remap wont gain you alot, if anything. Mine improved mid range/low down pull but dont expect it to set the world alight.

    refitting a cut standard 182 exhaust.

    Someone able to give my shopping list a once over?

    Lol. Ive already got a snow foamer so i may as well carry on using it. It helps loosen the flys of the front and brake dust if nothing else. Although its not all its cracked up to be i must admit. I was going to just use the Sonus polishes that come with the kit for now. The reason for the...

    Do i keep it or sell it??

    Really? In what way? the fact it has 5 doors? Golfs are very overpriced for what they are imo. If your going down the diesel hatchback route then you may as well get an astra cdti 150. Alot better value for money from what ive seen.

    Do i keep it or sell it??

    The doors on a 3 door car are bigger than a 5 door car which i guess could make it easier to get kids in and out of the back?

    I get all my stuff from Renault. Its not as expensive as you might think. Give them a bell and and ask for prices for Air filter, pollen filter (if applicable) and oil filter. You could also try GSF. Theyre pretty competitive.

    Someone able to give my shopping list a once over?

    Hi, Ive been umming and arring about buying a random orbital polisher for ages. Ive finally decided to take the plunge. Would you mind giving my list a once over and if you think money could be spent better please suggest alternative products? I already have a snow foamer so just ordering more...

    Clio drained new battery in 2 days! Why?!

    Do you have an aftermarket radio fitted? As suggested by Steve id get the battery checked for discharge as well as having the alternator/voltage regulator checked. Is it possible you got a duff battery? Might be worth getting that checked/replaced under warranty as well

    anyone had a cambelt snap on there 172 or 182 and at what mileage?

    If the belt doesnt snap before you get to 70k id be gobsmacked. Cambelts wear through age as much as use tbh.
  29. Russ.

    Oh My God What a Day. Dephaser Pulley anyone!!!!

    I had to have mine done (luckily at cambelt change time) at Birchdown. Think it cost circa £550 inc dephaser pulley, belts, pulleys etc. Shop around the independents/specialists and see what they come back with mate.
