Re: Very Low idle, not cutting out but kinda annoying!

Hey Tweak,
What colour is your 'rocco, sounds suspiciously like my old motor.
'Twas greeny/blue when I had it, a guy called Lewis bought it off me
and started to paint it white! - not the same car is it?
Funky pic of it in my sig. - I still got the tailgate badges for it :hugegrin:

which seats?

Do front seats from a mk2 or mk3 golf fit easily into a mk2 rocco?
Any other swaps that work well with a rocco?

Re: Corroded fuel filler neck

Didn't someone post on here about using a modified
BMW 3 series filler neck. It's made from plastic and
can be moulded with a hot air gun to fit the rocco?

- or was I dreaming again :chill:

Re: 'Whistly' alternator...

WD40 is your friend - a good dose will quieten it down.

Re-setting mfa?
