wide band sensor for $79.99 !!! -

thinking ahead to a p8pro but probably jumping the gun at the mo....

whats the options for wideband? Expensive i s'pose and really haven't got my head round what benefit they have

should i be on the suppliers forum - thought that was for people supplying? just after some advice on the best source - move it over tom if i got it wrong.

signal reading seems to be only 0.02v whats the best source for lambda probe - part no 021 906 295e???

I've failed MOT emissions -high CO - suspect the lambda probe but are there different types? The one fitted has quite a large oval connector where it plugs into the loom above the rear mount - the other one I have has a smaller slimmer rectangular connector. Are they intercnageable? ( I realise i'll have to switch the end connector but the wiring's identical) ...and strangely enough - the first emissions run, i forgot to fit the CAT back - it failed CO @ 0.6 but passed lambda and the other reading. put the CAT back on and now it fails everything and the CO is higher!!!!!! Have I managed to damage the lambda probe? whats going on with the cat when i get a better reading without it?????

how about mine from bruntingthorpe? - only straight line stuff but canny http://www.performancevwmag.com/videos/video_6.mpg

my canister hole is unmolested, kev - you saying i've got a baggy hole!?

Thanks I guess without problems I will be a lucky chap ;-) No i've only got the front VF mount now, reverted the rear and gearbox mounts back to OEM items because of the what Jeff mentioned. went backto oem and would not refit a rear mount - the difference is ludicrous

corsa here as well...

This information is now in a Wiki article, so I've locked and un-stickied this thread. ================== Any chance of a sticky as this ALWAYS comes up and i think this graphic explains it perfectly

thats the toy, not the runabout!!!!!! My point being - as i'm sure it wasn't missed by you, Jim, is that guys "rounabouts/bangers/daily drives" are r32's and s3's, git that he is :)

guy, youv'e just killed this thread DEAD...........

despite the horrocks going to lengths to say he doesn't want a runabout, it seems myself and the hartley can reach no other conclusion than the one you don't want paul - I know you said you don't want one and i'm sure guy's read your post as well, but there you go......sorry theres no other proposal for ya.... Trouble is, Guys runabouts are f&*king r32's and s3's - :roll: Lifes just not fair :?

you'll not find anything cheaper to drive happily, i would guess......don't know the value of g60's i'm afraid but i would imagine you'll be looking at old gti's and 16v's for what you'll get for the 'c'

Hey! There's Nowt wrong with Yellow!!!!! actually, the thought of a convoy of back and yellow corrado's - the wasp squad - is quite growing on me now :) (as long as i'm driving a black one, that is.)

he's cheating tho and spending money on both which you say you wouldnt want to do to the mk2 the last i heard is a turbo kit? - chris seems pretty up to date on the exploits of hartley do you really consider yourself too old (30 OMG!) for the corrado or just the hassle? don't get the flat cap and slippers out yet paul - theres no hope for us pushing 40 !!!

First things first, my mk4 is NOTHING like your Bora TDI, and I will let you drive it next week so you can see for yourself. Boring it is not. Heavy yes, old man-ish, maybe, but definitely no rep mobile. Yes I am interested in the hobby still, hence why I'm doing the mk2, and I haven't been into it since I was 17, I wasn't even bothered about cars back then. I don't want a crazy race car for the road. I want one for the track and a nice comfy, practical, reliable, (and I guess modern ticks al those boxes) car for the road. H8RRA, I've just said I don't want a "runabout", I've tried that before and hated it. you wanted opinions - you got 'em matey - didn't guarantee you'd like 'em :)

good alternative :roll: they're that cheap?

i know its not right but get a 6 rib belt of the same length - see the info i sent you before - 6pk1270 (6rib 1270mm give or take 10mm) will fix the prob until you establish the pully prob.

jay - ian mentioned to me tat he stated March to you - but not the year. We pinned him down to a year and he stated 2006, so there you go........its in writing now :) coxy - its the motivation you need - you're commited to it now.......

i like them but they feel like a ship compared to the "wrap-round" feel you get sitting in a corrado, by comparison

you hippo crit - you were drooling over my throbbing black'un on friday !!!!!!!! :) As much as i think you're a canny lad, i can't approve of nugget, banana cars - sorry :oops: - if we ever get into a convoy (is that March 2010?) we'll look like a 160mph 3 tonne WASP!!! :D :D :D ....and while i remember - coxy stated his car will be completed March 2006 - you'll live to regret nailing down which year to me and chris :)

i can't imagine you being happy with the mk4, paul. if you keep it, you'll tinker with it, put more money in and it'll be a poor imitiation of the corrado. if you sell the 'C' - and what coxy say is right - you'll have to give it away compared to what you've put into it. On the flip side, you'll get good money for the mk4. get a runabout for gawds sake if you find its totally impractical day to day keep the mk2 - make it an all-out track car keep the 'c' - you'll loose too much money and not have a decent toy get a runabout - this will be paid for with the extra money you'll make from selling the mk4 over what you'll get for the 'c' - i've just done it and picked up a mk3 tdi (yes, i know :oops: ) for £600. result? - Happy Phatty :)

anyone??????
