Pleasure James, I like your approach to keeping this car maintained as it should be, and not as VAG suggests ( explanations already given). Having said that, with delivery mileage only, personally I wouldn’t be getting the oil change done at handover, but waiting until September when it has a few miles under its belt. Regards, Gareth.

+1 for advice already given. Regards, Gareth.

Try EBay Rob.

Fine Ali, just message me the price you wish to add, and I’ll add it for you. Regards, Gareth.

Thanks for joining and posting your advert Ali. In the best interests of sellers and buyers, we don’t do offers on here, so could you please state a price which will be acceptable to you. Regards, Gareth.

Hello Mike, You posted you plea for assistance on Tuesday last, but don’t seem to have returned to the forum to consider the advice given, and to answer questioned asked. Could you please read New Members Please Read, and update us on the issue. Regards, Gareth,

What brand did you order Alan?

So far, you have posted and not bothered to return since. Please read the New Members highlight above. Thanks, Gareth.

No you are not Chris. Just avoid responding to old threads during your initial responses.

Hello Adam, Without further ado, my money is on the slave cylinder being the culprit here - highly likely why the previous owner passed it on. If replacing clutch components I would use LUK parts. Cheaper parts would not be my route on this labour intensive job. Regards, Gareth.

Thanks Chris, It always raises suspicion when someone signs up and immediately replies to old threads which already have a comprehensive set of responses. To add to that, your post in this case included wrong/incomplete information. Many thanks, but it isn’t a case of using the the forum incorrectly. Regards, Gareth.

Chris, it seems odd why you join and post responses to old thread, when the ‘full cambelt recommended changes’ have already been defined.
-
Any particular reason for responding to an old thread?

Hello Stella, Back to first principles, if the car is losing coolant, and there isn’t any external evidence of leakage, then it’s reasonable to conclude it must be being combusted. When you say ‘..I have checked for head gasket issues but this seems to be all good’ - what method did you use to test? Colour of exhaust smoke? Regards, Gareth.

Where have you searched so far Faramarz?

Welcome Mike, Where and from who did she buy the car, and did she have anyone knowledgeable to inspect it, prior to purchase. From what you say, the car appears to have been in the hands of a go-faster owner, and if bought from a trader and she wasn’t told it had been modified, then I too would be following Cliff’s logic. Regards, Gareth.

Sorry folks, that option doesn’t appear on this post.

As an aside to this post, the forum would welcome experiences on the use of Napa branded products. I must admit, I’ve always steered clear of them. Regards, Gareth.
