Anyone on here own it these days?

I sold it in 2012 and just wondered how it was getting on really!

I experienced something very similar.....replacing the earthing cable solved it

The smell was a gassy/clutchy/decomposing flesh kind

Managed to get it to the garage this morning, the noises were horrific :shock: Had it confirmed that the box has gone....could be the end of the road for me and my GTi :cry: I just don't think I'm up for putting another recon box in, especially as it was due to go in tomorrow for a suspected air com...

It stinks of gas!

Hopefully I can still get it to the garage tomorrow (6 miles away).

Update - The noise occurs when I switch the aircon off, it really is a horrendous noise, but hopeful it's something less important than the gearbox

I've heard a very strange noise coming from my GTi recently, the best way to describe it is that when I was waiting in traffic (stationary) I thought the noise was coming from the the house next to me that was covered in scaffolding! It sounded like something hard being hit with a hammer :cry: It's ...

I've just put some Conti Sport Contact 2's on, awesome tyre, tranformed the car in comparison with my old Kumho Ecsta's

And Blackcircles.com is where I got 'em

Be careful because I'm pretty sure a wash/wipe system is required (for Xenons) in order to pass an MOT.....a new addition this year.

I had my earthing cable replaced at VW the other day.....car runs like a dream now.

Beforehand the Engine Management light would come on intermittently, the car would be "jumpy" at low revs, and I got an error code on VAG-Com (although not the samer as the one you have).

Do these fit in a 6N2?

1st gear was pitiful, dangerous in fact!

Is it simple to fit?

My GTi was in the garage for a couple of days recently (electrical issues - All sorted now!). Anyway, I had a 6R 1.4 Match as a courtesy car.....I couldn't believe how much I prefer mine to the new model. OK I know mine's quicker but I genuinely couldn't wait to get mine back, and it put a smile on ...

Just run your car without a thermostat until the new one arrives
