so... after posting in the newbie's corner Robbie asked for some pics of my new toy... booked in for window tints tomorrow

i do have a couple of questions while im at it.
whe i test drove the car everything seemed cool, nothing out of the ordinary, but after being in traffic this morning on my way to work i noticed the car making a kind of unsavoury noise on take off and engine breaking... to describe it kind of sounds like a mix between some weird induction noise and a rattle coming form the engine. the other weird part of it is that it magically disappears after 1200rpm, little just stops not slowly fade out or anything. any got any ideas?

other question is, when i thought id check it out. couldnt find an answer for my self, but i did notice a tapping noise coming from the second cylinder from the right (dont know which number that is) its like a thuddy tapping noise and if you have a finger on the coil you can feel it faintly.... did i buy a bomb? all be it a pretty bomb?

yes mario is my first mod.... does anyone know what that recall code refers too? what got recalled and fixed?

Car looks great! Any plans of taking your r32 to the track?

The recall was for the replacement of the coilpacks.

Find someone with vagcom and scan your car for possible errors.

Welcome to the forum mate and congrats on the purchase

.. Good to see another Mk4 R32 on the forums.

How many kms on the old girl?

That is one nice clean R32! Well done on the purchase Frank.

Good to see plenty of MK4 R32 action going on. Like I said, do the flapper mod ASAP, it will transform your R32's sound. How dark are you going with the tints? You will definitely need to spend a lot of time polishing up those exhaust tips as it seems like they have never been touched in the time of the previous owners.

Hopefully we can meet up sometime with some of my MK4 R32 mates
