|  Great start eh??!!?? Hello All, Got my octy 1 tdi on halloween, drove it for a week then it cooked itself!!! Currently back at the garage I had it from having new pump, head gasket, timing belt and tensioner and the head skimmed! Look on the bright side - I had it booked in for a cam belt change - that's saved me £300! Downside? - A gutless 1.2 and on it's last legs Clio courtesy car! And i've been stuck with it for over a week!  Anything I should look out for when I pick it up? Thanks Tim |

| Re: Great start eh??!!?? You would have thought so! At least it's under warranty though and I get to rack up a few thousand miles in someone elses car! |

| Re: Great start eh??!!?? Hiya. The plastic impellor water pump strikes again? If so, when will VAG accept that these components are not suitable for use in petrol engines? |

| Re: Great start eh??!!?? I heard the Clio was a lightweight, but can you actually pick it up?  Hey up Get a BIG discount on the labour & possibly some of the parts involved too!
