The battery will fail very soon.

My 95 also flashes the SYS light at me. I even put a new battery in it and

it still does it. The manual says that it is an electrical problem and to

see the GM Dealership. So I did. They said that it was a short to ground in

the instrument cluster. The only way to fix it is to replace the entire

cluster. But the good news is that it won`t effect anything else because

further diagnosis showed that it is my digital read out. It will dim and get

bright while normal driving. This is something that I have just learned to

live with. No big deal. The battery is not the problem. You can also use a

paperclip to run the troublecodes on your speedo readout. Hope this helps.

There are two main reasons that I have seen the SYS error:

1. The Battery is failing

2. An aftermarket Stereo was installed and the Resister modification was not

done at the time of the install. This needs to be done on late model C-4s.

I am sure there are other reasons but those are the two common ones I know

of.

Title: Volkswagen Golf R
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:36:24 +0000
Author: symo

Primo: bisogna trovare una vera erede mk6 della sempreverde R32. Secondo: non è possibile che la Ford Focus RS sia sempre cosi avanti anni luce da tutte le altre (o quasi), bisogna trovare un modo di avvicinarsi alla concorrenza. Probabilmente questa può essere la volta buona, in Volkswagen sembra abbiano pensato davvero a tutto nella creazione di questa Gof R.

Dal punto di vista meccanico la R è mossa dall’ormai famoso TSI 2.0 litri 4 cilindri che abbiamo già visto su Audi S3, TTS o Scirocco R. Questo motore permette di erogare la bellezza di 270 CV a 6 mila giri/min e una coppia massima di 350 Nm in un range di 2500 giri/min (da 2500 a 5000 per la precisione).

Le prestazioni sono di assoluto rilievo: la massima è limitata a 250 km/h e l’accelerazione 0-100 varia di 2 decimi di secondo in base all’adozione del cambio manuale (5,7 secondi) o automatico DSG (5,5 secondi).

Title: Leave Your Car ALONE

I have to worry about some car owners. It’s not like you buy a car without due consideration as to how it looks and whether you’re happy with what driving it says about you. Why, then, do people do this:

stupid-cars-decorate-2

Seriously, did their to-do list for the day read “buy Volvo estate, spray gold, get out maarker pen, prang it” ?

Or this one -was it a case of pop down to Sussex, buy a Suzuki Swift, drop by Halfords for a nice macho interior and remove any questions about a) your favourite colour and b) does anybody want a lift?
