Yeah, I went in before and the car was up on ramps with the gearbox out.

I had it inspected by a proper mechanic at the weekend and he said the gearbox is fked, its now leaking oil and they burst the boot (he pointed it out when it was on the ramps, its the black thing that connects to he back of ...

The oil was changed by Arnold Clark under warranty which made no difference and then they replaced the bearings so oil again and still no difference

really? :\

I mean intrusively loud though, I am embarrassed to accelerate past like 2k in first.

I also noticed today that if I get to about 4/5k rpm in 2nd and then change to 5th it crunches on the way in. I presume that isn't normal?

Yeah I read that one earlier.

That is crunching and not going into gear properly though, this is a strange whining noise that is really bad in first and more of an annoyance in later gears.

Its a 2006.

Arnold Clark are claiming they have changed out the barings but the noise is still there ... so I doubt they did!

A bit of a strange post but I am looking for anyone in/around Aberdeen with a 9n3 GTI who could take me for a 2 minute spin and then jump in my car for 2 minutes.

I have a loud whining noise in first and later gears but Arnold Clark have told me its normal and to basically gtfo, a guy in work who ...

Do you find this makes any difference performance and noise wise?

Also how do you clean these?

Looks like another local ... unless there is another Wallace out with Aberdeen?

Looking good mate Hoping to get mine a stage 1 soon!

£150? thats a nice price.

Do you mind me asking where it was from?

Sorry I am being a spoon, I meant how much and where was the remap done? :p

I spoke to Wallace, they were £300-350 I can't remember now. I am just trying to figure out what is a normal price to pay.

Main problems are a whining coming from the gearbox, front ARB bushes fooked and a rattling from engine bay at idle/holding it on the clutch but it is meant to be getting fixed next week under warranty.

Once that's fixed I quite fancy a stage 1! My last car was an 07 Civic 2.2 icdti remapped to ...

I was yeah

Nice looking car you've got there!

I'm still having a few issues with mine, going back in on the 7th to hopefully get it sorted for good but they are cracking cars!

You aren't from around Aberdeen are you?

Seen a car look exactly like yours on North Anderson drive today! Same age too.

What about if I put in an after market system like I plan on doing, will the steering controls work then?

No one managed to get the stereo controls working?
