Hi guys, there's no newbie section so I thought id post up here, had my new 6 for almost a week now and really pleased with it. Had a 1.8xs and a Hdi before but the 6 definitely feels more planted in the corners and well obviously more powerful.No point posting pics as it was the 2000 reg china blue one in the for sale section!! I'm a fairly active member on club306 so might know a few of you from over there. Cheers |

I think thats something to do with the gear he crashed in, knocked everthing out of line IIRC. Anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong though. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

Was it second? I thought fourth!I'm surprised it's pulled straight to be honest. How did he get the jig clamp marks off the sills? ________________________________________ Cherry rallye - DOB Thursday 29/04/1999Team Rallye - the leaner, meaner, better looking sister of the GTI6 roland rat wrote: You sir either live for the 6 or have a mental retardation to still be repairing this!

Second can be a bit stiff to get, especially when the gearbox is cold, or you have a quickshift. 2ltrs of Peugeot gearbox oil should make it better.________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey SpannerForum Search Clicky |

Are you the fella who has/had a Diablo XSi? I believe I met you at Coombe, and afterwards when it broke down on the way home  Glad to see you've finally made the step up to the 6 ________________________________________ Onward to the Edge! |

That's me It was an XS, got it fixed in the end, had it back on the road for a week and then someone drove into it.... not cool! But yeh really enjoying the step up Even when the oil is up to temp it grinds, no quick shift fitted. I'm hoping just a fresh change of oil will at least improve it |

Welcome Tom. Hope you get the gearbox issues sorted quick. Experience has told me if its crunching into gear its not a good sign. Try the oil change first but dont be too worried if a box change is imminent.Get some pics up. ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

Hi Tom, welcome to the fold I should make more of an effort on Club-306...... I am biased as I have only owned GTi6' myself but the 6 is way better! Enjoy it! Your XS was nice though BEST colour imo!  Edit: MILK FLOAT is getting boring now folks!  ________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

Don't worry about the 2nd gear crunch, it's a very common thing on these cars and it will be fine. Just live with it ________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |
