I’m selling my Audi a3 ive owned it for about 18 months it’s been very reliable and a pleasure to drive. The car is standard and apart from having the splitters and side skirts colour coded. I think this would make a nice project for someone. I’m located in Thurrock Essex so drop me and ...

I’ve had my ...

I was there in my dragon green mk4, i also brought my mates along. the 2 green G40s and the mk1 golf. The meet was ok, no chavs this time. Shame people weren’t that eager to talk to us. There was some really nice car on the night loved the silver mk4 and the Ibiza.

Thanks for your advice lads, after investigating it turns out that all right hand drive polos have manually adjustable clutch cables. So I had a lil play wid it today and managed to lower it by loosening the adjusting screw.

the cars done 100k and i dont kno if the clutch has ever been changed. the clutch dosnt slip and it isnt noisy but the reverse gear sometimes crunches.ill look in my haynes to see about adjusting the cable.

thanks lads.

ive got a 1.4 8v polo 1997, the clutch on it seems really high. does this mean its on its way out? or is there something else i can do?

thanks

im having a hard time finding some plastic pipe to make a cold air feed, anyone know where i could get some?

I’ve gone for the cheap option, I got a cheap filter off a mate and connected it to the end of the standard filter box, sounds alrite and makes my exhaust louder. Today at work i made a heat shield, looks good and didn’t cost me anything. My friend has a G40 and was telling me that I can remove ...

i know theres like a million topics on this subject. but if someone could post some pictures of how i could fit a filter on it would be really useful.

I want to fit an induction kit to my 1.4 8v, but I don’t want to spend too much money. What does everyone think of universal induction kits? Are they and good? Would the cheapest option be drilling the air box?

Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the advice lads, got it fixed this morning. Took the mechanic 10 min because some of the bolt was exposed. Shame the vw dealer isn’t as quick, have to wait till Wednesday till the new bolt comes in.

just changed changed my rocker cover gasket on my 1.4 8v.as i went to tighten the bolts on the rocker rover i broke one of the bolts, so half is stuck in hole. dont kno wat to do. im gonna take it to a local garage tomorro. do u think its going to cost me alot to get it drilled out? is it safe for ...

looks fat mate, ive got the same wheels on my dragon green polo. mines lowered 50mm. ill take some more pictures tonight so u can have a look.

That does look really good, I am gonna have a look if they got one at my local breakers. Would it fit an 8v bumper? How did u attach it?

i forgot to ask but if i was to fit mk5 lights do i have to buy the bulb hold aswell as the lights, or can i use my standard mk4 ones.
