Great idea. When I find the time I'll have a look around and might talk to some people. If I get good pricing etc I'll post up a thread in group buy

Great!! Looking forward to see how this turns out

I replaced my set, mainly because I could rather than because I needed to:

http://www.germanautoparts.com/Volkswagen/Golf/Performance/250/5

US$93.71 + shipping

I don't know that you would beat that price but I AM sure you can get enough people who want parts from them to organise a single order to save on shipping costs.

Yeah in reply to the above leads are over 10 years old in them thing now. High resistance in leads causes big dramas and you cant see it unless you have a n oscilliscope connected.
Go the Leads man and on capped engines change it too itll be full of carbon and the spark will be trackin all over the place

Spray with water mist at night on the leads & coilpack. Could tell you something.

Seems you have a number of issues with this car, Plan B would be to find a decent mechanic (who knows a little about VW's) to have a look over it for you.

List all of the ones you know about and see if you can get someone who knows what they are doing to have a look see at the beast and put them into a priority order for you. You should be able to find someone who will look over it for free and give you some advise, although it may mean leaving it when them for a day rather then demanding on the spot free advice.

Yeah it's a bit unfortunate, many little things pop up again and again. That's the way, I'm told...damn money pits.

Hmm...well as i said, Steve N will do the service on sat, I'll make sure I bring up all the possibilities you've all mentioned to me. I'm bringing her on Sunday, so I guess I might ask nicely if loon etc might like to pop their head under the hood to see if anything is noticeably wrong
