I have never in all my life been so consistantly lied to like i was by Ben from sports tech. Basically i had my car booked in with Grizz to do the DRC to KW convers...

RE: Re: RE: Thermostat shagged!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Hi - my thermostat went a couple of weeks ago, and also faced the prospect of £1000 of labor, luckily the Warranty company covered it. However what i did find out is that Audi UK offered as a good will gesture to half the labor cost as it is a regularly failing item, and labor necessary to replace i...

After a couple of weeks of fans running at full speed, the true cause became apparent on Thursday - i was rescused by the AA and traveled home on the back of a flat bed truck - 10 out of 10 for those who said Thermostat - the car finally started to show signs of overheating on the M1, so i pulled ov...

RE: Vpower

I do Tescos99 or Vpower ........ Although when i first bought it i used normal 95 RON for a week or too before the requirement for 98 was pointed out, and there was a noticeable difference in power, and also fuel economy. I use mine up and down the motorway every week, and i can average about 25 - 2...

Fans staying on long after engine stops ...

Hi All, I'm probably overreacting to this, but i've noticed of late that the fans in the engine bay are staying on at what seems a very high speed for long after the engine has stopped. Even on a very short journey, such as to the shop, about 1 mile, and the engine is not even hot at that point, the...
