I have tried changing the oil temperature sender , but the air temp sensor ...

Re: Water leaks into the Boot, mk 2 Scirocco

Ok Guys time to pester you for any information or ideas as to where I am getting a sizeable rain water leak into the boot of my car. It is coming down the C pillars either side and then running down past the light units and into the boot. I have sealed up the sunroof with tape as my initial thought ...

Re: Fuel pump 8v turbo

Thanks for the info. The pump was noisy when I switched on the ignition. It then cut out and wasn't doing anything or making noise when ignition was turned on, so I towed it home where it started first time. I thought I'd change the pumps as it's only done about 300 miles in the last 11 years. It's ...

Fuel pump 8v turbo

Wonder if anyone has found a non standard pump fitted when they go to renew an old one. The one I've found is about half the size of a standard pump. It has no part numbers. I wondered if it was special because of the turbo technics upgrade. But speaking to a helpful bloke from there shop ( last ...

Immobiliser

What are people using? I've been taking ht lead off just for peace of mind but it isn't practical in the long run I will just have faulty ht lead. I spoke to an auto electrician and he recommended a toad power key Thatcham approved, but I'm wondering if a hidden switch somewhere might suffice. I'd ...

Re: Gtx turbo

Yeah I'm pretty chuffed, it's not perfect but it's still in better nick than any other scirocco I've had. I might need to post this in another section but I could do with knowing how I check the boost. I've found a switch under the steering column and I've read about there being two boost settings ...

Re: Gtx turbo

Yes, that's the one. I've been searching about and found a fair few mk1 and 2 golfs with the same kit, I've just never seen or heard of it on a scirocco not fitted from new anyway it's got to be quite a rare car. I just wanted to post this and hopefully find someone else with the same setup Sent ...

I've been trying to find others with the same kit so this is just a short introduction and a shout out to anyone else ...
