Well, spent most of the morning down at the Zed fixing a power steering pipe to stop it leaking. after making sure everything was where it was supposed to be and everything was tightened up, i topped up the power steering fluid and started the engine. gave the wheel a few turns on full lock to make sure the air was out of it. turned the engine off. and now i have a water leak from from the water pump area behind the viscous fan? Also have a small leak dripping down from the rear of the engine onto the oil sump? I'm confused i never went anywhere near the water pump or the rear of the engine? So looks like I'm going to have to give it a new water pump, is …

well, i just sold the silver n/a, went to my unit in town to collect some bits for it in my Black TT and 3 miles down the road the temp guage shot up, openend the bonnet and steam was pissing out, I let it settle a bit and could see it was coming from the back of the engine, seemed more from the passenger side, it was dark and i didnt have a torch so couldn't really pin point it. i'll go and have a better look in the morning, but does anyone have an idea of what pipe it could be?

Following a lorry this evening and went to pass it on a big of DC. Put foot down and nothing, (well it sort of accelerated, but you get the picture.). Boost guage only goes up to '0' so I'm assuming that's just WOT and normal pressure. It was fine right up until I went for the overtake. No rattles, smoke or bangs. I need it fixed before Friday. Any ideas?

So you don`t see this often, ConZult screen shot below from a Jap spec TT with a slight running problem (backfire, will reveal later) any thoughts or theories? Jeff TT

Brought my Zed two years ago last Friday, time does go quick.And its never gone wrong touch wood

My front washer jets only trickle out onto the bonnet at the moment althought sometimes the nearside one does spray slightly onto the screen. I can hear the motor going like hell when I press the button so I have a blockage somewhere. Would my best bet be to slide a little pin prick down there? I only ask because I did that on an old car of mine and wrecked the jets and from there on in about a pint of water would come out. Or would I more than likely find the blockage in the actual pipe. Just wondering really If anyone has rectified a problem these ways before

the previous owner of my zed had new kyb shocks all round, drift spec tension rods and adjustable control arms. all has been good drivers is fine. Passnger side is the issue. i have noticed a few things. 1. The front arch liner has been worn when on full lock to the right by the tyre, and slightly sliced the expansion bottle, causing slight water loss also the same on the front rear liner. 2. looking at the control arm is seems to have been put in the same as the drivers side???? is this right?? I know the zed had a front end crunch on the pass side, but had been repaired at zedworld, i think. Has anyone any pics of the passenger side control arms fitted, so i…

does this seem about right people. for TT's with a bit of heavy foot driving most days, (overtaking etc) o2 sensors fine MAF fine injectors fine timing fine no fuel leaks thermostat fine. viscous fan new. seems a bit low, works out to about 14MPG...... even a full tank 70quid, wont see over 175-180 miles. what are you people getting and if its better than mine, any ideas.... the car has just come from Z world on and on a conzult, no faults.

Ok here´s the story; since I bought my Z about 3 years ago, I barely driven the car on a long trip; except for when I drove it back from Italy to Spain when I first bought it. Since then the car has always been sitting on the garage and it can sit there for months without being drove.Many experts have adviced me that doing this to a car is not healthy, specially for these type of high performance cars...the turbos need life and some action; now couple weeks agi I got invited to a friends wedding who lives in Paris; so here comes my doubts; is it goo idea to drive the Z from Barcelona to Paris? see I always think that by not driven it much or getting the Z on the highway I…
