    Cool video man. Love the Peak roads, esp the Snake, Cat & Fiddle and Holme Moss. I think I prefer travelling towards Glossop cos you have the slow incline followed by the steep drop towards Manc, as you described! There's a section halfway up where you see Kinder towering up on your left, that is the highest point of the entire Peak District.

    Had the 2010 version of this. Just died on me. Had it from new. Never let me down until last week. Forgot to check the oil and no lights came on, so it ran dry. Dead as a nit. Gutted. My car looked exaclty like this one. Feel like ive lost a mate. Passed pretty much every MOT apart from usual wear and tear stuff.

    I have this car - the same exact model and colour, a white i-Music. I'm also finding the gears a little sticky, mostly when going into 2nd gear, it doesn't always want to go in, often requiring several attempts! But other than that, a superb little car and a great car for a learner to begin with (my teenage son will be learning to drive soon).

Certainly feels more than a old 150bhp engine that might only be down to 130. He loves it plenty of performance for a 68 year old pensioner ha

    Got mine for £800 (private sale) with 10 months MOT, 115k miles. Satin Silver 5 door with Recaros and Bilstein/H&R suspension. Although it is an early AGU engine car, these seem to go for less money than the later ones with the bigger turbo. If you're getting bad MPG, scan for fault codes. Mine came up with a faulty coolant temp sensor, changed it and now getting 39mpg on a rural commute.

    02:40 Why take it to a cheap car wash if you got it cleaned professionally to begin with. Do it yourself you will look after it better that way. Also the front headlight is really easy too, like most things with the Mk4. Defo using forums helps. MPG is subjective and depends on your driving, but if you must know my 1.8 6speed goes to about 45 MPG doing about 60 mph on a motorway.

    • @motorthoughts
      @motorthoughts 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well sometimes I'm quite lazy, don't have the time and it looks real dirty. You're right though and I do hand wash it most of the time only taken it to a machine wash twice! That's pretty good wish mine had a 6th gear... I did manage to get up to 38/39mpg doing 70-75mph on the motorway yesterday. Think getting used to a car definitely helps and having more gears!

      @@motorthoughts 40mpg sounds good for that speed. Remember there are 2 modes for checking mpg. The live mode and the average mode. They can be cleared and reset by holding down the button underneath for a few seconds. There is also 2 views 1 is the overall for vehicle and 2 is the overall for the current journey.

    Great video again! VVT only alters valve opening and closing times (hence Variable Valve Timing) where as VTEC(Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control) alters both valve duration and lift (how far the valve opens), with the lift part being the one that contributes to the sound of VTEC.
