Phase 1 diablo '6 - Ryan - 31-01-2014

Hi all, a lot of you will recognize this cars as its done its rounds on here Smile

But its a phase 1 gti 6 in diablo red Big Grin

This isn't going to be a major project just wanna do a few things and keep her clean.

All that i have done to the car is just gonna come out in one go as iv had it for a few months but only just got on the forum Smile

Anyways first off i changed the oil and filter and made it noisier

looks bodgey i know but it does the job Smile

Next up was to get a proper inlet pipe as the filter was connected straight onto the inlet manifold and was getting all the warm air which is not cool, the new inlet pipe i got was dogey and had a bit of a hole were the oil breather was attached, so que duck tape and cable ties

I do intend to do something about it one day and get a proper air filter as i have one of them mushroom ones but for now, Beauty job !

Next up was central locking, it wasn't working lol so i bought a key refurb kit and re configured the key or whatever its called and now it works so happy days Big Grin im sure all off you know what a key looks like but just incase you forgot

There was also a very annoying squeak coming from the back off the car, i have no idea how the previous owner lived with it lol but it was a loose bolt on the exhaust bracket.

Next on the list was to sort out the swimming pool in the drivers foot well, thanks to tom and his no fucks given about his hoover approach it was soon dry and the aerial was sealed up along with the door seal being vased up, it all now seems to be ok Big Grin

Im sure your all now bored of me jibbering on so some pictures of her Big Grin

Next job: Fix blowing exhaust.


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - Ryan - 31-01-2014

Sounds like a plan sir Big Grin get the exhaust gunk out !


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - mr_fish - 31-01-2014

Awesome Car, tidy example as well.

Think I remember it with Nimrods on a while back and it looked awesome then.

Hope to see it at the next South West Meet.

Phase 1 diablo '6 - Jtrigga - 31-01-2014

Got to love a ph1 gti, can't believe it has done over double the mileage of mine but still looks so clean.


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - Craigus - 31-01-2014

Looks tidy mate, out of interest what comes with the key refurb kit?


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - Curt - 31-01-2014

It's one of the cleanest 306's I've ever seen, and definitely owned. It was on sliver Nimrods when I had it, and white ones when Vaughan had it. The exhaust never made any noise when I had it (well, apart from the obvious lol ).

Be careful with the air filter down there in this weather, it's a puddle sucker. I had a PiperX straight onto the throttle body, never had any real issues with heat soak, just epic noise and throttle response.

It was on the the '6 forum, then Fozzy bought it, then I had it, then Vaughan.

Looking good though man, will keep an eye on this Smile.

Thanks dude, i believe it was a battery, screw, the plastic surround, the buttons and a blank key Smile

Cheers for the kind words Smile i think its just a small blow i didn't even notice till tom mentioned it Smile

yeah i go very careful over puddles but cheers Big Grin ah yeah nice one, i need to get a better filter ( so if anyone has one for sale please let me know Tongue )


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - Curt - 01-02-2014

I meant the loose bolt on the bracket Smile. I'll have a nice K&N soon hopefully, once my mate pulls his finger out and gives it back to me...


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - Ryan - 01-02-2014

Ohh must have been fairly recent then Smile haha Ok cool let me know


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - mikey b - 02-02-2014

RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - samsdad2011 - 02-02-2014

Looks good o those wheels


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - Ryan - 02-02-2014

Cheers lads, not to sure on the wheels to be honest might spray them at home to see if I like them more then, not sure what colour though


RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - Ryan - 02-02-2014

Small update recently got a new head unit as it just had the standard pug one, which was okay but only the radio worked so treated myself to a new one Smile

RE: Phase 1 diablo '6 - Ryan - 11-02-2014

love working under the car on a windy day Dodgy, but glad its done Smile

[Image: IMG_20140204_150109.jpg]

luckily it was an easy fix, some exhaust paste and done the bolts up tight as one was loose and all sorted, now it sounds even more awesome Big Grin
