That sounds like a really bad idea. Instead of the gases having a direction to flow they will now have all sorts of turbulence one would expect. On motorcross racing four stroke engines you can lose 5 to 10% when the packing gets worn for this very reason. If you keep them wrapped tight the gases co...

Re: Bad fuel ( Fletchie Warning ).
Anyone have any luck getting petrol stations to pay for damage or experience of this type of thing. Ordered 2 new sensors to try and fit tomorrow. Ok here's the thing, and probably not what you want to hear as it doesn't back up your case in any shape or form. The petrol station will have something...

Bad fuel ( Fletchie Warning ).
Bought some fuel from Esso (Exeter street, Plymouth) on 29/10. Car started miss firing, loss of power within about 3 miles(scanned car but no faults). When it got really low(220miles later) it ran dreadfully and only just ticked over. Filled it back up with mostly shell and it has recovered to 80%. ...

Wanted-Drivers side interior door handle. 1999 S4.
As per title. Return spring and pivot broken on mine so handle does not return. This is the small panel that sits in the door card and also holds the small speaker(not required). Thanks.

RE: Oil – You get what you pay for!
Redruth or "Rare-Druth" as it's known. I think oilmans based that way as thats the phone code. Not a prowler just used to go windsurfing at Stithians Lake which is same area. On topic, also use synta gold.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Vag Com
Hmmm octane boosters, another huge can of worms centralling around huge claims etc. Can something in a tin achieve the same as the large fuel manufacturers blend for a fraction of the cost. A proper test a few years back showed many of these to be nothing more than a lightweight oil. A touch of uppe...

RE: Coolant temp weirdness ...
Noticed the same thing in mine recently. Just cruising the other day down a long hill and mine dropped to nearly 70,oil tempp was over 90 still. Takes a long time to warm up at the moment(on gauge), could this be a sticky thermostat.
