I had strayed away from this website as i had no problems and any i did have were rectified with advice from here so im hoping i can get the same class of advice for this problem, I recently bought a d-turbo 1998 when i bought it the drivers front wheel had a really bad knocking admittingly i...

Hey Guys, finally got round to having a good look at the bonnet, when i changed my rear axle i had changed the brake lines so i used an old one to do this but a coathanger or something similar will work, First you need to prise away the front grill so you can get a torch underneath, looking at...

Hi guys, My sis has just gone to UNI so my dad has decided to use the car for work, and after parking it up in the same place he has seen a puddle of oil and water, now on further inspection the oil has got into the water but not water in the oil which is normally the case when the cylinder head...

Just to get the bonnet up i can fix the cable once its open but its just annoying when i can't do any mods yet lol I am going to try n get another 306 and have it side by side and have a good look but just wonmdering if anyone has done this before??:bigsmile:

Do all the 306 axles fit for eg DT, GTI-6, XSI, S16 ARE THEY ALL THE SAME?? :confused:

I bet i am getting on everyones nerves with all these posts but i am hopeless lol I had a problem with my lever not opening the bonnet but i got around that there was a bolt under the front grill which loosened it enough for me to SQUEEZE my hand in and rip it to shreds, and pull the cable i...

I know..:blink: Moving on - - I have read a lil more and according to another forum i have to lave the radio on with the '====' not the '----' and then it will reset? You get the '====' after holding the BAND button for a few secs

I have the code if you ask instead of jumping the gun mate

Hey Guys, I was just out and about and was taking apart my radio surround where the air con is at, to spray it. To cut along story short i have now blocked by radio and have found out how to get it on for 3 mins but its driving me mad i drove around for one hour last night cos i didn't...

I have been looking into the re-maps and have had a few evaluations on sites and they are saying it would only increase 8bhp -10bhp, but in one of the other threads i had asked about upgrades i was advised i could swap the intake manifold, cam's, exhaust manifold and the throttle from a GTI then...

I agree, white is the way forward in car cleaning, hate people being in mine it takes ages to hoover the carpets in mine its that wirey texture and just holds everything especially TWIGS!! the smallest thing possible and takes no effort to break but to hoover...Wheres the logic! Enough of my...

You mentioned there you can change the back suspension...:amuse: Just i have recently had some knockin on my rear end and thinking it may be the torsion bar, it is on the left handside only. I was just wondering how i would find out what it is it is only when cornering and not at very high speed...

I had a feeling it would be to cheap lol, so i take it that it would not give me more MPG either then??:mad::P

Your a real fountain of knowledge ey..lol :cheesy: I was thinking of a re-map but didn't fancy the price tag, but had also been a bit cheap:lol: And looking on E-Bay at a chip which is £11 and states it will increase BHP by 8 and significantly increase the torque and the MPG?? Is this true or...

This is exactly the sort of thing i am looking to do, Then the wheels and body work GREAT HELP THANKS MATE!!:D:D:D

I had the same problem it is slightly bigger and started to screech and i ended up forci8ng it took me a good hour to fit a longer one and tighten lol Never again..but suppose ya dont learn these things any other way

Cheers guys thats a real insight and will defo be putting the advice into action.. Once i get the funds together that its, Thanks Again:D

Thanks Wayne, very helpful tips and again cheap! It has discs on the back, whats the best way to get the suspension tweaked? Would i need to replace the springs? You able to quote a price? I know i don't ask many question Thanks Again

Can anyone give any good tuning recomendations for a 1998 XSI PUG 306 ?? I was thinking of a Panel Filter from the shop here with a cool air feed in the wing? Adding bigger calipers? Custom built mid exhaust, long but flat, around 4 inch long by 1 inch high? Any other recommendations...

Lol lil bit :amuse: Cheers am i correct in thinking the GTI calipers will be lightweight as well???

i know when i changed mine on a phase 2 they were all nuts, but the one at the bottom was loose at the other end which once i tightened the other two it somehow tightened, was a mystery but never thought nothing of it as it was done until now so may be another way into it??? Might not help but...

I have recently passed my test and got myself a 306 1998 XSI, not too great on speed but reasonable for now as i am pushing hard for cash, but one thing that really dissapoint me was the brakes... I was doing a little faster than the limit but as i tried to brake sharply it felt as if there was...
