Hi, yeh it's not sludge, just a sticky black coating, you cant tell it's there until you touch it. So not a problem you think??

Hello, So I changed my recirc valve today for one of the up graded new VW?Audi ones. the old one was pretty oily inside which I assume is not too good. This coincides with a mate saying he could smell burning oil when we were driving pretty hard down the motorway (safely of course :wink: ) Could be ...

Oh, I did what you suggested and nothing. Made no difference if I tried to force it closed, it was closed all the way.

Hi, no still not fixed. I've not a huge deal as I don't really know how to fix it. Could be ICV could be TPS as the ICV makes no difference when you unplug it but could that be because the TPS isn't telling it work?? I don't know. I didn't know about the wiper thing.

Ok, thank you. I'll have a look later today and report back!

Nice, some very cool cars there

No I didn't get the reg, but could have been *** GMD or similar, oldish guy driving it with passenger I think. Looked to be in really good shape.

.....took me by surprise in Aylesbury today, rendered me speechless for a short while. Anyone here??

Awesome photos everyone! We certainly turned a good few heads!

Yay, photos....how are you doing this Jeff???

.....Thank you so much again to Sylvia and Al for organising another great meet! Not everything went according to plan, what with Well Dressing Competions and mini riots ( :shock: ) but the turn out was great, the company enjoyable and the weather for the most part stayed dry (it only rained on my w...
