RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - vlj - 06-09-2012
Surely tracking is the cause of pulling you though..? I don't see what else would, my tracking is so far out that if you were to let go of the steering wheel you would very quickly find yourself in the nearest hedge.
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Niall - 06-09-2012
not always vaughn. Could be badly worn tyre from previous bad tracking, sticking calliper (thats what mine is doing at the moment) or something bent.

Hm okay, I guess those are valid too! Brake cleaner will solve the calliper, or at least it did for me.
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Niall - 06-09-2012

Just swap it for Scott's? He'll never know as you bought the same car and put the same wheels on.

Oh look my car has acquired some gaz coilovers
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Ed Doe - 07-09-2012
ffs! lol
it's not pulling at all Vaughan, it tracks straight, it pulls a bit over cambered road surfaces/lines etc imo cause Of the topmounts and the low profile tyres but feel free to correct me here.
The clonk doesn't happen under braking, only turning...

Ed your a liar. You've titled this thread eds minty (fully working).
2 things. Firstly, does your aircon work? Didn't think so...there for the title should be eds minty (sort of working)
Secondly, I can confirm it does not smell or taste of mint

Go on I dare ya. And then see how much real life trolling happens over the coming weeks!
Anyway it's not trolling. Just stating the 100% true facts
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Ed Doe - 07-09-2012
Keep on topic you big gaylord!
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Jimmyboycheck - 07-09-2012

FUUUUU!!
yeah it's near full lock, damn thats annoying, driveshafts are a cnut IIRC...
Still, mightaswell do my lower engine mount at the same time seeing as the lot will be out... I've been meaning to do the gearbox oil too, so another excuse!
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - samass - 07-09-2012
Meh, driveshafts aren't that bad a job! I've done them like three times now, happy to lend a hand
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Grant - 07-09-2012
Are you sure it's a knocking and not more of a mellow tapping?
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - samass - 07-09-2012
You mean furious tapping?
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Grant - 07-09-2012
No mate, that is what I'm gonna be doing to eds arse later on...
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - samass - 07-09-2012
I want to join in
Re: Ed's MINTY (fully-working!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Alee83 - 07-09-2012
Mine is doing the same clunking Ed.... Been driving me mad for 3 weeks now! Just presumed it would be drive shaft/shafts... Bloody get everything else sorted, then this happens!
pfft...
RE: Ed's MINTY (fully-tapping!) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Niall - 06-10-2012
Can I just point out, your title says fully working. It's not. The air con doesn't work therefore this is a false representation of a fully working gti. Please edit this now.
RE: Eds fully-working! (Except the A/C) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Ed Doe - 12-10-2012
Thanks for that Niall
Yours still may not be though we'll see when you finally get round to regassing it! Mind I doubt you'll be doing that for a while now with the weather being so shit!!Small update;
I, Mr. #redlineateveryopportunity #spendsmoretimeonwrongsideoftheroadovertakingeverythingonthewaytowork --Doe have officially managed 375miles from 51litres!!! This is NUTS on my commute in general, it's all windy twisty A-roads, dotted along with little villages, and plenty of up and down hills, so I spend a lot of time up and down the gears, accelerating and decelerating, even when I'm behaving myself. It's also only 17miles or so, so a lot of that is spent on the heat-up cycle, when the engine is less efficient too, so I'm pretty chuffed with that figure!! Using my regular calculator http://www.torquecars.com/tools/uk-mpg-calculator.php that works out as a shade over 33mpg, which for me is incredible
(remember on the same commute earlier in the summer when I was only using the car for sunny days I was averaging something like 23mpg.....!!!I think this weekend I'll be swapping the stock airbox on and raising the ride height, copper slipping up the coilover threads, softening the damping rates right up and popping the clones back on for the winter months! Hopefully I'll get some photos over the weekend if I remember
Re: Eds fully-working! (Except the A/C) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - kernow_joe - 12-10-2012
That's a lot more than I Ever get! I'd be pleased with 23mpg tbh!
RE: Eds fully-working! (Except the A/C) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Niall - 12-10-2012
feeling smug i got 39mpg on the way to fcs
and how do you know mine doesnt work?

Cause you've not regassed it, so there's still no gas from when you swapped to your new pipe?
RE: Eds fully-working! (Except the A/C) Ph3 Astor GTi6 - Niall - 12-10-2012
how do you know ive not regassed it?
