It's that time again! - Niall - 23-05-2012
Im currently sitting in the mot waiting room. What do we reckon?
I'm convinced the cat is broken so reckon it will fail!
Re: It's that time again! - Scott - 23-05-2012
Good luck buddy, fingers crossed it passes after all the work you've put into it!
Re: It's that time again! - Niall - 23-05-2012
Failed. Emissions big time and sub frame mountings. Think I'm just going to get rid to be honest. I'm loosing patience with this car now.
Re: It's that time again! - ginge191 - 23-05-2012
this is a shame - please don't scrap the engine i MAYBE interested
Re: It's that time again! - Scott - 23-05-2012
To be fair buddy your rings still aren't really bedded in AND your exhaust is probably coked up

dont scrap it dude, you've put too much into it by now!
im free all of next week (other than when im doing my car) and im more than happy to help out with working on it to get it ready for a retest

You can't scrap it, its by far my favourite looking car on the forum ):
Re: It's that time again! - Niall - 23-05-2012
Tbh I'm not sure if the subframe mountings are rotten but if they are that will cost a fair bit to weld.
The emissions failed on every single thing so even a new cat won't fix that.
Ecu is on its way out and will need a new coilpack.
There's a nice gTi6 just round the corner from me on 77k in china. Looks mint but I will see. Need to find 1400 quid from somewhere.
Re: It's that time again! - samass - 23-05-2012
ah i see, so it was rust? how bout a subframe from the scrapper? lot of work, but not a lot of cash...
or, theres that s16 that just popped uo for sale...

Last year I failed an MOT on emissions after having a new cat fitted a week before, I explained and showed him the receipt and he let it slide as he knew it would settle down in time.
You've put a lot of time and effort into your car to just abandon it! I'm sure you can fix it

Niall, give me a ring about any bits you need from the 6.
We'll sort it out this weekend if you like?
Re: It's that time again! - kingy - 23-05-2012
what a situation mate. i know how you feel about getting rid, its a hard one.
if you have fell out of love then i say get the 6. good luck.
Re: It's that time again! - Scott - 23-05-2012
If you want we'll pick up a new subframe for you this weekend? If the ECU is playing up and you have a dodgy coilpack then that could well be the culprit as well mate! I know it's frustrating but you're so close
Re: It's that time again! - procta - 23-05-2012
pain in the arse for you Niall, can you not sorce a coil pack and a ecu? be a waste to let it go just for that.
Re: It's that time again! - samass - 23-05-2012
had a thought, the 1.8 coil pack the same as the xsi? might be a daft question.... but if it is, ive got one kicking about that might still work
Re: It's that time again! - Niall - 23-05-2012
I've got a spare coil pack bu I need a ecu.
The rot isn't on the subframe. It's on the body where the subframe mounts. I don't think it should of failed. ( from memory of it) in which case I'm going to under seal it and retest it.
Tbh it's going to cost me a lot to fix. Fortunately I've got 10 working days and we have a 4 day weekend so got time to sort it. I love the car but there has to come a point of stopping!
Re: It's that time again! - samass - 23-05-2012
fair nuff man.
as said, happy to help out if needed. free from sat afternoon.
