Yep, even the gearbox for the Veyron is just the same item from the Skoda 1.9 V-RS diesel engine (but beefed up slightly so that it can take the torque) .
i've got one here

i wonder how i can fit the other 3 turbos...................

On the whole he is helpful and good to have here, knows a lot, not everything, but more than most.

But like a lot of helpful people on car forums like to really hammer in how clever they think they are, and fight it to the bitter end even when they are wrong, rather than talk about things in a nice and civilised way.

Which winds people the fuck up as it makes them look like they helping just to try and be the forum big boy, which is just sad.

The good far outweighs the bad though

More likely his old chap's XR4i - it needed welding for its MOT.

He's OK - sometimes you just need to read the post sllloooowwwwlllyyyy so you read it properly, and add commas where necessary. I know him, but have had to read what he's typed a few times before I've understood it. The written word is more abrasive than the spoken one - some people forget this.

And, if you disagree with what he's said, great - just means whoever asked the question and got two different answers should go get a third opinion to see which one's right - no-one's under any obligation to take the contents of a public forum as Gospel.

Besides, Volkwagen do own everything.

edit: Stavros' post popped in before I finished typing - but I do agree with him, particularly the good outweighing the bad .

based on that, and nothing else, i would say then that he probablyl knows a thing or two just from being around dave, he probably radiates car stuff into other peole, but then, he seems to make a post where it may hae been fine when someone like dave did it, because he's smart and the like, but the explanation tab gives sort of spirales into a bit of someone who hasn't quite got the full understanding of how things work

it's a bit like going to work with your dad and then thinking your as smart as him

judging by some of the posts he put up, he knows stuff, but he also doesn't know other stuff

he also seems to know dave walker, but i don't know how

other than some of his views being slightly more than a bit wrong, in my oniopn at least, people have either liked him or loathed him

if he's fine all well and good, if he's not, hope he gets better




Maby he should be called "MARMITE"

Marmite is a contemptible substance - I'd sooner paste anthrax on my toast.

Your description sounds like that book geek Chip 3dr??? No actual experience but HAS to win the argument..i bet he has around 4 screens with Ask Jeeves,metacrawer,lycos,google on each so he can just put in the keyword and get all his answers

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
