  1. So last time i uploaded a couple of pics of the z is when i fitted the BGW and wheels and the car was absolutely filthy with the winter weather, So i managed to get a couple of snaps of it when i attended a VW show at the weekend with the new vented front wings on :)

  2. So after having a few parts delivered and been sat at the back of the workshop in work for a few weeks i finally got around to fitting them on the weekend.

     

    Front splitter, eyelids, BGW, G35 spats and work euroline DH, just the rear diffuser to fit next and desperately needs a wash!

  3. thanks for the reply, yeah it went into some sort or limp mode but was fine as soon as i started it up again.

    I've checked the battery and everything seems fine around there, i was thinking about giving the MAF and Throttle body a clean out this weekend see if that does anything

  4. Driving home from work today and got into 3rd gear climbing up the revs then all of a sudden i lost all the engine power, pulled over tried to rev it but it was climbing up the revs really slowly so i turned it off waited a few minutes started it back it and it has been fine ever since.

     

    No engine light on the dash or anything and has been driving fine since it was started up again. i plugged my code reader in but nothing came up.

     

    any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks Tom

  5. well my mid pip decided to snap in the common place so now is a perfect time to upgrade, just seeing if anything is out there before i buy new? closer to north wales the better

     

    thanks in advance

  6. i changed the coolant temp sensor but still having the same problem, here is a video of whats happening

     

     

    its only when the car is warm, when its cold it starts up straight away.

     

    any help from here would be great

     

    thanks in advance

  7. well after buying my z a couple of weeks ago theres been a problem when starting the car when its warm. when i turn the key its cranks over a few seconds longer then starts up but it sounds like it cranks and cranks and cranks then just slightly catches and its a sluggish start, then the revs pick up and its fine. it drives spot on not missing or anything and when its cold its fires up on the first click, its just literally when its warm. I've already changed the oil and filter,air filter because they needed doing and also changed all the spark plugs but still no luck. any help would be grateful

     

    thanks in advance

  8. hello everyone!!!

    i picked top my first zed yesterday, absolutely love it up to now. i didn't really plan on buying one but i seen one in a carpark at a vw show last week and fell in love with them so after looking over various websites i went to go view a few.

    The first one i went to go see was a blue one but after driving 2 hours to go see it i was very disappointed, it had been fully resprayed and it was terrible, so i went back on my phone and found another one on the way home in silver, got there and done some checks over it to find the oil cap was filled with creamy gunk so i left that one too, and then two days after a red one popped up only 20 minutes away from me and i ended up buying it :teeth:

    As i arrived at the red one i seen that the owner didn't really look after it but it wasn't in a terrible state, there was horrendous lacquer peel on the mirrors and was about 50 shades of red so today i got it in my godfather unit and gave it a good compound.

     

    only managed to get one picture up to now but hopefully the weather is good tomorrow and i should be able to get more
