how fast mike? looking for mine within a couple of weeks? too much to ask?

love the kw colours on the rear beam mate, great progress looks really tidy, want to do similar to mine next winter, keep up the good work

i love it too, didn't like fitting it tho! cheers redborbet one with the battery bag fitted.... and one of my detailing habit a true addiction!

was trying hard to find this thread, only to find all gone....anybody ever get theirs from the german re-trim eBay listing?

hahaha yessss jamie, if you don't i may, what a cracking lot

i suspect you would need a garage to give you a rough quote/diagnostic to get it running so the buyer has all the relevant info, no good asking a certain price if the cost of the repair is unknown...personally i wouldn't touch one without knowing whats wrong get a quote and adjust your selling price accordingly.....or get it fixed and keep it, thats what i would do ;-)

gonna be me doing this next year, will reference this thread so cheers for sharing

just read this thread, glad you kept with it chap, keep up the good work.. i had similar idle issues as you and found the wiring back to the ecu from the lambda sensor corroded and broke, got new connectors to put in the plug and my idle was so much better have a few of these connectors if anybody needs some, think they are called junior power terminals

cheers rob, appreciated so....tonight i picked this up, from a local legend lee of general designs will be going in ready, battery bag re-trimmed in beige leather to match the seats oh trail fit and sneak pic of the worthersee wheels........yep they are from Billcor.....obviously not correct ride height! will get more soon

did the standard spray of the scuttle in the lounge had the new grill sprayed up and split the headlights to polish and black out the non reflect

bit of a clean and in the bay....jamie was right, these are a @£$%^&**** to fit! just make out my new swg scuttle in the background....sprayed matt finish to match

little update as worthersee prepping has kept me busy a few things added decided to attack the oil leak before a major service to see if i could see where the majority of it was, took the inlet off and the rocker cover and it seems it was leaking from the right bottom corner, so replaced gasket and cleaned the mating faces on the rocker cover, whilst it was off i decided i might as well powder coat them up so they look nice looked ok to me inside too group buy liner 288 brake updates twisted when on but sorted it now so ignore the braid twist slam panel was letting it down a bit and wanted to go a bit stealth look in the bay so started that all back together and working ok cleaned oil leak and no more seems to be appearing woo-hooo obtained this......must have been subconscious jamie flash red jealousy i think ;-)

who was the courier?

hi james got mine a while back and messaged you via email about full beams not working when loom is connected? you advised to check correct bulbs and fuses all bulbs are correct and fuses are ok......any ideas?

one on corrado chat fb page going for 4k? not mine but looks good

ha was just going to say these tools, used the blue laser one on my lambda sensor connections worked a treat

great aren't they wayne, you got the car back yet?

although it's usually the ECU loom side that breaks and you need to either use repair wires or get a new plug from VW - £7ish) whilst replacing my lambda sensor one of the wires in the ecu side has broke out of its connector, does the whole connector need replacing or can i solder on a new spade connector to push in the old one? if i can get the old pin out! anyone know? or know what the name of the replacement plug is

once again jim great valuable info, sure enough went out to check cleaned all the crap off, pulled the wires and the spade connector for the sender remained on! stripped and soldered a spade connection later......all working and sean thanks as well......was in-between 90 - 98 so spot on also!

Loepan - that looks crap mate haha yess did you see that eibach brace on ebay, went for over 200 notes!

yeah get all the mpg, distance travelled, average speed? only just noticed the oil one today, haven't had it that long and unsure if its worked at all, but not sure whether it was on setting 1 or 2 either way it hadn't changed after around 30mins of driving just three dashes with an oil can next to it i'll have to go for a blast at the weekend and see, was just after clarification of what i should be seeing

dog can i just clarify, oil temp should read three dashes unless over 50 degrees? and whats the average oil temp, i only ever get the three dashes thought it needed replacing to be honest but maybe not

haha nope, not even fitted this yet, but if i ever do i'll keep you in mind

from a mk2 golf, same as eibach brace but made by matter germany, was told it was originally a matter design that was sold on to eibach to produce.....i dunno about that, but haven't seen that many around, i know a chap in the states has one from ed38 forum but thats about it

matter strut brace?
