Re: '90 Helios Blue Scala

Thanks, just keeping on top of regular maintenance really isn't it. I have heard horror stories about oil flush, it was just to remove the gunk that was already in there; the engine is running much better thankfully (doesnt have the highest of mileages) but I shall not be using it again as long as ...

Re: '90 Helios Blue Scala

Hi Bit of an update as to how the Scala has been. A few changes since I last updated - oil flush and change after a sticky cam follower issue, filler neck and brake drum paint/tidy, new driver side window and a general update. The car is used daily as my dad drives it every day - has served him well ...

Re: Car Parks and MORONS

Parked as far away from the sports direct shop as possible with a million spaces in the car park (which was on a slight incline).. silly woman parks right in front of the car (in a space in front) and leaves her kids inside while putting bags in.. the kids take the handbrake off and it rolled back ...

I feel bad for that poor GTII.

Re: Air Filter change

Thank you for the tips!

Will look into getting the k&n as you mentioned, in the two years of ownership I've never had a look.

Re: '90 Helios Blue Scala

Hello again. Been a while since I've been on here. Scirocco meet again this year was great to attend, and the car has passed another MOT with no advisories. Have done an oil and filter change, a wax and that's about it really. No need for a picture, not sure of the best way now photobucket went ...

Air Filter change

Hello.

Question. To change the air filter on a mk2 injection where do you have to look/what do you remove and how do you remove it?

Also, any recommendations as to good air filters?

Thanks,
Sam

Rear wiper not working

Hi, Realised recently that the rear wiper is not working. It is sitting horizontally across the bottom of the rear screen. When the stalk is pushed away for the rear washer spray, is the wiper supposed to come on as well? If so, how do you turn it on or what could be stopping it? Plus is it the ...

Re: Scala 1.8i 1990 Original Gearbox From Factory?

Looked in the boot at the sticker, says Transmission: AUG. That's a good website, will have a good read of that. Of course, even I thought when he said it, that's pushing it a little aha.

Re: Scala 1.8i 1990 Original Gearbox From Factory?

The funny thing is that the previous owner listed it as having the gearbox increase mpg at the expense of acceleration, so I guess he wasn't correct because the acceleration is spot on. It's definitely had a change at some point, and going from what you're saying it may have had an AUG box when new ...

Scala 1.8i 1990 Original Gearbox From Factory?

Hi, Been wondering recently which gearbox was originally fitted to my mk2 1990 DX - was changed a few years ago for an ACD fuel saving box with numbers 08028, with the number 4 below it. Don't seem to be getting full top speed as my dad said his old 1988 scala in 1997 could reach 125. This one doesn ...
