how much were those lights?

fishtoasty · Post by **fishtoasty** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 6:33 pm

Yeah they are black crystal fk headlights non angel eyes....angel eyes have a projector on the outside lamp, but each light unit on mine take 2 h7's, therefore when on full beam all fourlight up and its well bright. Got mine for 128.50 inc delivery and indicators, it was a group buy.

Thanks for the comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sod the lights look at the rest of the car! your ride is sweet mate, very very nice. like the lights too, might consider something in the future but got to do the rears first maybe.

very nice.

cheers dave!!!!

here are the other types of FK lights

Crystal angels (also come in black and blue chrome no pics sorry for angel versions of these but will be the same in design with a projector lamp etc) for POLO MK4

Crystal none angels

Black Cyrstals none angels

Blue cyrstals for golf none angels (will be similar for polo except unit will be a different shape)

ditto on the "rest of the car", just how much work have you put into that, it's scary

(angel eyes = bleh to me, the regular ones just there look great

and far better than your average get-two-small-round-lights-and-put-some-body-colour-plastic-between-em max power job)

I wish they did projector/angel eyes for the Mark3....

And yes, that is one helluva ride.

thanks for the comments...i need a moral boost on it atm...its giving me engine trouble.

starts up then cuts out a few secs later after start up.....eventually it will start normally, but unsure whats wrong

again with the cut-outs, why is it always cut outs with polos

(dim memory -- ) the hall sender?

i have been told previously on another forum that it could be a temp sensor..is this a possiblity?

Thanks

that just sounds wierd, but conceivably the ECU / fuel system might adjust for the different density of air and vaporisation rate of petrol at different ambient temperatures.... it gets it wrong, the car runs far too rich or lean, phut... just like not setting your choke properly on a carbed (non VW

) car (similar for the lambda sensor, and i'd expect the lambda to have far more effect than the temp in such a situation)

usually hearing about this sort of thing it's something in the ignition system tho...

fishtoasty · Post by **fishtoasty** » Sat Jul 17, 2004 1:25 pm

it starts and runs for a second tho, i can get the revs up really high but then it just dies its wierd
