looking good after a detail

couple of questions...

do you have clear vinyl on your boot?

what exhaust have you got? full system or just a backbox?

cheers buddy. no I dont hsve vinyl on the boot just a standard boot haha. and its just a backbox I believe

ahh right, the last picture looks on the boot lid it follows the line from the bumper.. prob just a reflection

does it sound alright? I'm asking everybody about their exhausts on the 1.9's lately haha

no worries mate. and tbh it just sounds standard haha! on start up lately keeps on kinda struggling and then when it starts it kicks out load of white smoke so that needs sorting!

fair enough! looks better than standard though!

the starting problem is a common thing on these bud

I get it every now and then. what i do just let the ignition light go out turn off, turn on and wait for light and start, seems to do the trick when I get the problem. basically double starting warming the glow plugs

thanks for the info pal ill give it a try when im next out! I thort at first glow plugs or map sensor but either way its under warranty

 

[Reuuk]

nahh its just a 'common fault' apparently there is a software update that can solve.. there is allot of threads about it on here, do a search

I've had 'check glow plug' warning on my dash for about 7 months (possibly more) and the car starts better with the error haha. so I've just left it as glow plugs are only used to start the car unlike spark plugs in a petrol which keep sparking!
