    What about us cool diesel drivers with no spark plugs? Would be a bit ironic on our cars!

    With this forum it should be a diesel glow plug rather than a spark plug tbh!

    Eric, try something with pistons instead maybe? Or would it be too similar to pistonheads?

    We went through everything in the car today. After a minute or two the noise goes out of it and it runs normal.

    Mechanics reckons it's 'diesel' slap' and that for some reason (dirt or failing injector) the car doesn't run correctly until it's warmed up. We had it hooked up to autologic (?) and ran tests on the injectors and they appeared to be performing perfectly as did everything else.

    In other words they only effective repair for now would be to replace all injectors or wait until one finally fails.

    He is a VAG/BMW specialist so I'm happy to go with what he thinks. We discounted camshaft failure as it would have stayed running like a bag of nails when it had warmed up. As it is it seems to run fine.

    Although I'm very tempted to bin it now and get something else as I'm not happy with all the repairs of late that it's needed. Still though, that means I've to arrange finance which I didn't want to do

    Could you fix this problem, sell it and buy another car with the money you get for the passat?

    That lack of an X by my name insults me!

    Sickened i missed it.

    Loads of reasons, the main reasons being i didn't want anyone to laugh at my car and i also didn't want anyone to find out i'm actually 12.

    For a regional meet that can be in Dublin, but a national one needs to be somewhere more neutral.

    Enjoyable meet in fairness, sound bunch of lads/lasses. Got to chat to a good few but only know a handful of Boards names to put against them.

    Was good to chat to the other GTI owners to share tips and what not.

    Highlight of the day was finding out that there is little or no difference between my GTI and TT's S2000. :)

    Refill light came on driving to work this morning, with 472km on the tank. That is officially the earliest it has come on in my 24 months of ownership, so ya, Saturday was expensive. :p
