Hi,
I've got a T25 diesel that was smoking so much they refused it at an MOT place! Any advice on where to take it...it looks like new engine time
It's a 1.7 diesel smokes a bit a blue and a bit of white smoke (not using any water tho)
I'm in Loughborough
....or does anyone fancy a project?

Re: Spotted
Red Scala on a G I think, with alloys (lots of spokes) and twin exhaust. Bump strips had been removed. Guy driving it with long hair and glasses.
M3 Northbound/East between the Eastleigh South and Eastleigh North @ 7:22am on 23rd Nov
This made me feel guilty of loosing mine :(

Front wings
Hi,
What is the method for removing the front wings off a mk2 scirocco. Unfortunately the shell I have will have to be scrapped so would like to remove the *mint* front wings before she goes. Pictures would be good if someone has done before.

Drive shaft removal
Hi,
If I take the drive shafts off will the car still be able to move as a rolling chassis - or is it a part of the front set up???
I need to keep the car as a rolling chassis
How do I remove the drive shaft? - can't find my haynes so guessing a bit

Shock - strut seperation
Hi,
How do you separate the shock from the strut on the front suspension. I can't seem to work it out! (YES, I have removed the spring first :) )

Non VAG - Punto fuel filling up issues
Hi,
My girlfriend has a 06 Punto Petrol (yes I know this is for scirocco isuuses but can't find anything on other forums).
When she fills up (it's done it to me too) it clicks off (i.e on the fuel nozzle), not just once or twice but many times each time she fills up. It's been getting a bit worse ...

Grinding noise
Was sat in traffic yesterday and the car started to make grinding noises when idle. Someone has suggested this is the water pump on the way out. Is there any truth in this?

Re: Suspected steering problem
Well it's booked in for MOT so I'll also see what they say. If it's something that I can repair then I'll probably SORN the vehicle and carry out the work myself. The reason I say SORN is purchased another vehicle for the time being while I get this sorted. :)
