So i traced my leak down to the rubbers not having a tight grip on the window. Has anyone else encountered this problem before and what was your solution?

You notice it most in icy, snow conditions. Can hear it quite clearly too.

But 14 years on look what has aged better.. certainly not the Peugeot....

Hi guys, Bit of a grey area for me but my sisters rear window was smashed by the storm yesterday, and I'm not sure if it's an insurance jobby or whether they are easy enough to replace myself.


Cheers and Merry Christmas

Alex what size tyres do you run on the 16? I'm debating going for 195/45/16s next as they are quite a bit cheaper

Lovely new car! Still think the old GTI looks timeless next to it !

Thanks guys, No don't want to try to make it something it's not, as only the CSLs came as a batmobile version. I'll just be putting a CSL chin spoiler on and some period Alpinas i think.

I've signed up on the E9 forum..... they're all old American and scary...

I thought it was this one, it has been sale for a LONG time. Well over 18 months anyhow.

As alex said, if it's been sitting a while its common for the exhaust to condensate on start up. Out of interest have you got a link for the car you are looking at?

Car was stood for a few weeks and a pond was found in the passenger footwell behind the drivers seat! I've drained the water out but a lingering smell remains. Has anyone had a similar leak before? I have no idea where the leak came from and it hasn't leaked since. I'm not sure how to get rid of the...

Oh buddy what a shame. I have a spare alternator at home but that's probably no good to you atm, I'll drop you a text so we can catch up. My GTI has been a pest since coming back to Plymouth...

No you would need to modify/ install a new loom behind the dash. It really isn't worth it to be honest just stick with the manual.

hmmmm, these issues are always tricky to diagnose. Do you have vagcom access? that would be a good place to start. Have you noticed evidence of water in and around the engine bay ?

Lovely Jubly mate

Oki doke I'll get to it !
