Nope no one has been caught. Car was in a field very close to Writhlington School, apparently the second car to be dumped and burnt out around there in the past couple of weeks... so be extra vigilant if you're anywhere nearby.

Will definitely be investing in more security in future. It had a ...

Thanks for all your replies.

@SYNCRO yes that was mine... :(

Owned it for 13 years, still in shock.

Hi,

If you see a Red 1.6 GT Mk2 Scirocco, registration E115 WAM, could you please contact me (07788 430785). It was stolen last night from the Foxhill area in Bath. I will add some pictures later.

Thanks

James.

Yeah you're right... I can count good I can... :D

Hi,

I'm looking to replace my existing pepper-pot steel wheels. I was thinking of getting them refurbished but noticed that the 15" steel wheels fitted to the new Mini wheels look like a good match, and are relatively cheap to pick up off eBay. Has anyone tried fitting these?

Not sure what tyres I ...

Yup tried leaving it on for more than 2 hours (48 hours in the end!) and also had the ignition on. Still no luck.
I have the code for the radio, but it never asks me to enter it and it never says SAFE.

Am starting remember why I hate modern electronics - should have gone for a period radio!

Thanks for the replies, have been in contact with a local VW dealer who believes it is locked and have recommended somewhere local that offers a repair service. So will go and see what they think.

Thanks again!

I think the red flashing light is just something to do with it not thinking the ignition is on, found a manual online which says something to that effect (http://www.westfaliat4.info/1998_VW_Gamma_Radio_User_Manual_English_WM.pdf).

Yup I have the pin - but I never get asked to enter it. Only thing ...

Hi,

I just bought a VW Gamma radio from fleaBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260966913363?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_500wt_1288) and went to test it. I get the message TIM 2h as soon as I turn it on, after a couple of seconds the display goes blank..? Some searching in the ...

Thanks ash.

I probably should have asked all this before thinking about plastic fuel filler necks ;)

gsf is your friend ;)

Ahhhh thanks Nate that's realy helpful :hugegrin: !
I thought you had to cut those down for the smaller tank, and that they didn't fit the larger tank at all. Obvioulsy managed to misread all of the posts oops.
Just one question, think I saw somewhere it saying that those ...

Ah okay, hadn't realised the BMW one had a lockable cap, my mistake :blush: .

I don't have a problem with the steel necks (or better still stainless), but sourcing one in good nick isn't easy (or cheap), so was just looking at some alternatives.

I've been in contact with Europa, and apparently ...

I was under the impression that the mk1 golf fuel filler necks only fit the earlier mk2 sciroccos with the smaller fuel tank?

Finding a lockable cap is a possibility. Was really more interested in the possibility of a making up some plastic replacements, I have made some enquires, but haven't had ...
