Hello just wanting to say hi. Getting my ph2 gti6 tonight rather excited. Forum seems great, had a stage 2 hdi a few years ago and always swore I'd have another 306

[Piggy]

good to see you have returned


welcome

[j-n-88]

Couple problems with the car already haha, key doesn't turn in passenger lock and key doesn't light up when pressed. So only way to unlock car is passenger door , also needs a new steering wheel, and since viewing the car last night and the seller dropping it off for me today, the air filters gone missing!

Few pics of her. Rather happy with it. Few niggles need fixed but all seems good

[jonas306]

Looks good, any plans in your mind?

[j-n-88]

She is a bit rough around the edges... Most edges Infact haha so just want to tidy it up, take it back to standard and enjoy it. Desperate for a new exhaust haha, the stupidly loud exhaust thing isn't for me haha.

[Eeyore]

Looks good. How have you lost the air filter?

[j-n-88]

Was on the car on Friday when I went to see it, and when the guy brought it to my house on Saturday once he'd fitted the cat for me (which still leaves it stupidly loud!), the air filter was missing and I'd already looked the car over on Friday so stupidly didn't look over it again. got a open cone filter fitted to it now that I had from an old car I had.

---

My to do list is as follows-
- standard exhaust
-new lock set
- get standard wheels
- spray or buy a new front bumper (mine has a few bad marks)
-sort out the lack of heat, try bleeding the system first if not then new matrix
- refresh suspension
- general tidy up
- new wing mirror + temp sensor as my mirrors broke and temperature is showing ---

So plenty to go at haha.

Knew it had most of these faults when I bought it, always bought mint cars and got bored, so thought putting time and effort into a car will make me want to keep it, and always loved 306's.

[j-n-88]

Now fuming. Jacked the car up and cat isn't fitted. Dunno how he's made it more quiet but it wasn't the cat! Which was in the boot. Fuming! My own naive fault I suppose!

[Matt-Rallye]

Oh dear! still looks to be a very tidy example though

Whereabouts in the country are you based?

[j-n-88]

I'm from cumbria! Not seen many about from up here really.

[j-n-88]

This is my old hdi


Don't think it's still alive as it isn't insured.

I don't think they've actually lost the air filter, sounds like the seller removed it between viewing and delivering.

Does look nice in the pictures but, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't that a phase 3 not a phase 2?

[7057sam]

Bloke sounds like a bellend.

Air filters are about £30 second hand and cat's between 40 -55.standard exhaust's are harder to find and usually sell for more than most second hand stainless systems.

[j-n-88]

He was indeed! And yeah I imagine he had just took it off, got an open cone on it now I had lying around. Got a full standard exhaust and cat for 60 delivered so I'm happy now It doesn't sound stupid haha.

---

And no it's a phase 2 with crystals fitted

[mattsrallye]

Isn't that a phase 3 front bumper with the round fogs though?

[7057sam]

Nice to see you getting it sorted

[j-n-88]

Maybe? Haha. Not sure.

[bashbarnard]

Its also a w reg so its phase 3

[j-n-88]

Nooo that's my old hdi. Scroll up haha.

[j-n-88]

Is there a way to pay to jump the 100 post rule before you can pm?? There's a black ph2 being broke and I want some parts

[bashbarnard]

Nope afraid not. Newbies have to have 100 posts

[j-n-88]

Sucks haha. And I don't want to spam things I'm not interested in so may take a while do enjoy some posts mind but I tend to be a spectator more than a poster.

[j-n-88]

Well been spending a little bit on the 6 in the past few weeks. Waiting on a few bits to come still but got most here.

So far I've got new tensioner and idler - old one noise and then after doing them I found the aircon pulleys noisy so got a new one of them to go on, should of bought a delete kit but too late now.
New passenger wing mirror
New lock set
Boot trim
Black a and b pillars
Wind deflectors
Mats
Door check strap pins
Rallye blanks

Can't wait to get stuff fitted.

Plans are still to get a new front bumper, black masks, Ph3 boot, standard air box, upper and lower strut braces

After that lot ill be reasonably happy. Have got dark cyclones on it now and unsure whether to go back to standard colour or not?

[j-n-88]

Well update. Everythinguess I bought is fitted and looks a lot tidier!

Also got some silver cyclones on and some black masks being made for me woop

Oh and put a silver front badge on.

Only have the one pic for now. ...

[7057sam]

Silver looks much better mate

[j-n-88]

Cheers it does look a lot fresher now but just thinking black masks will look out of place now.

[Herby7]

Looks really good

[7057sam]

Cheers it does look a lot fresher now but just thinking black masks will look out of place now.

Nah not at all mate black masks look particular OE
