very nice if you like sweet'ish stuff, readily available from Tescos and most other supermarkets :-) (be carefull not to buy the alcohol free one LOL)



....I love sweet drinks and don't drink any alcohol - Is the alcohol-free version totally alcohol free, do you know?

:happy2:

cheers Shaun i will do ! i normally drink spirits, stella and Bud ! but will diversify on you guys good review!

Robin you don't drink at all ? 

....Not a drop for nearly 20 years. I used to drink Jack Daniels, Brandy, Vodka, Cocktails, etc but always hated the taste of beer and wine. I stopped smokin the herb at the same time. I didn't have a problem with either and still don't now - I still hang with the freaks!

Holy crap, just seen those nasty pics....

I had a couple of coil packs go on my mk4 1.8T but never thought that could happen.  Is this possibly catching fire a mk5 trait a general risk with coillies?

Glad it was a simple fix and free!

not many reports of mk5's catching fire, the one i posted the pics of, i bought their ed30 off them, VW as a good will gesture gave them the ed30 because of the fire in that white GTi photo'd.

I wouldnt worry.

Well i knew it was too good to be true!!  Driving home last night and the engine light came on flashing and also the tyre pressure light came on.  All accompanied by a mis fire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not happy!

Called VW this morning and they diddnt seem to surprised and just said "better get it down to us so we can take a look"  Woulddnt say if the other 3 OK coilpacks were checked when number 2 was replaced.  So thats another £50 lost on getting the car there and half a days pay.....this is getting VERY annoying!!  Im asking them to replace all of the coilpacks this time

pissed off.
