Do the new VW TSI engines need 98 grade petrol or are they ok on 95 ? I am thinking Skoda Yeti with this engine but there is a substantial price premium for the 98 ron.

I swapped my running moped for a spares or repair motorcycle
when I swapped we did not fill in the v5's or send them off because he did not have his v5 on him at the time and i forgot to get a reciet :( .
he's now broke my moped by messing with it and putting way too much 2stroke oil in.
And he has found out that I have fixed hes motorcycle.
He now wants to swap back but I dont want to because it cost alot of money to fix the motorcycle
I do not have the v5 because he refuses to send it off and i do not have a reciet all I have are witnesses which are my 2 friends and one of my friends dad who took me in the van to swap they witnessed him look round the moped and say "yes its mint I would like to swap" the day after the swap he even rang me saying " its a really good moped and its running perfect and when can we sort the v5's" however he also asked about the motorcycle and I said "I have had it fixed".

The day after that he rang me saying " the mopeds broke im not swapping unless its fixed " .... Read more

Ride his motorcycle through four active speed cameras and then swap it back straight away for your scooter. Let him talk his way out of that one...

Hello there,

Can anybody tell me where the reservoir fluid is going to for the electric soft top. I have to top it up fairly regularly but I have no idea where it might be leaking from/to. There is no sign of leakage in the boot around the motor and when I look down the wells at either side when the roof is down, again, I can't see any evidence of leaked fluid!!

Many thanks!! Read more

This is only a basic system with 2 hydraulic rams ,a pump ,and associated pipework.If there is no visible leak from the top ,then a would suspect a leak at the bottom of the rams.This would need the rear interior of the car to be dismantled to gain access to components.hth

mickyh7 has a point methinks, yet another insulting and patronising reply from Andy B. Yes people are entitled to their view but as you say there is a correct way and a wrong way. You seem to have set yourself up as a bit of a guru with firm views about just about everything (Jack of all trades comes to mind, with no intended insult) Perhaps "Rubbish" should be censored in the same way as scraapped.

As Voltaire once said "Doubt is not a pleasant state of mind but but certainty is absurd"... Read more

Wife & daughter's cars. A 2000 X reg 1199cc 16v Petrol Hatchback and a 2003, 03 reg,973cc 12v Petrol 4 door.

A couple of mechanics have told me these models don't have cambelts that require replacing.Can you confirm please if this is true, only doubts are raised in my mind when iv'e seen comments on several websites of people having problems with broken Vauxhall Cambelts. Unfortunately both handbooks are missing. Thank you... Read more

They do not have cam belts tis true, but that doesnt make them a better or stronger engine.

The original cam chain tensioners go weak at around 60,000....
