AFAIK - piston cooling jets are the only oil supply to the little-end bearings (upper con-rod bearings). Removing them may cause slightly increased wear in the little end bearings, slightly higher piston temperatures & increased bore wear. Whether or not this would be a problem will depend on car usage. If your car is a "daily driver", I would suggest that you leave the jets where they are - if possible.

I filled up last month, here in Birmingham & paid 103.9 pence per litre . :shock:

keithmac, Looks like you need a 6PK1315 ribbed belt. No sure if we (GSF) sell that particular size but I can check on Monday, if you still need one ?

A few psi lower - not sure exactly how much though. There should be a sticker in your driver's door frame - visible as you open the door.

Dubbin 24/7, Just in case your local branch's computer system hasn't yet been updated - make a note of the GSF front caliper part numbers mentioned earlier in this thread. Rear calipers are listed on our system, your local branch will be able to find these without a problem. There is an old unit surcharge on each caliper - this will be refunded when you return the old calipers - preferably in the boxes that your new ones arrive in.

woody, Your branch were correct. PM sent.

BREMBO . :wink: Your local GSF should have some in stock.

Good job he wasn't feeling horny . :censored: :lol:

Is the throttle linkage activating the idle pin-switch on the throttle housing ? Sounds to me like the linkage isn't returning properly.

Clean your idle valve with either petrol of carb cleaner, then plug it back in (may sort your idle problems out). 1.8-16v has Bosch K-Jetronic injection. This is system is fully mechanical & has no setup mode. If the engine still doesn't run properly,after sorting the idle valve out - Does it start okay from cold ? Does it run okay when hot ? Does the external fuel pump (under floorpan next to OSR wheelarch) buzz when you switch the ignition on, before you start the car ? Is this pump noisy when the engine is running ?

Suffice to say that we DO stock them (in quite large quantities) - our application listing has been updated today . :wink: Same caliper fits a large amount of vehicles in the VAG range & we had completely missed the fact that they also fit both the 1.8 & 2.0-16v Corrado's. :oops:

Lucas part No. BHW201 & BHW202 (will be printed on outside of box) GSF Part No. 65661 (rh) & 65660 (lh) £39.95 each + vat The Lucas calipers that we stock all have the drillings - just like in the piccy above.

Not sure if they were 15 years ago though ? Different designs of caliper would suggest mabe they weren't.

:rofl:

Dunno - I seem to remember a large phillips screw head, in the hub, behind the front disc. May have been on my Toledo - can't remember.

colourblind, You mean the large phillips screw in the hub - so far as I know, that secures the ABS ring ? I was talking about the much smaller phillips screw that secures the disc to the hub.

I'll have a look tomorrow

Could be that the Lucas one fits more than 1 type of vehicle - what's the Lucas part number - should be on the box

I have no idea what the screw holes are for . :shock: Could just be that the Lucas one is made to fit more than 1 type of vehicle.

Yep - that's the late type hanger

Blown, Clutch is probably the only thing that I'd get somebody else to do. Complete arse of a job.

If you've removed the old discs & the screw is still there - it IS broken. Old disc won't come off, without either removing or breaking the retaining screw.

Ventilating the engine lubrication system & lubricating he scroll seals in the supercharger. AFAIK - there aren't 3 oil pressure sensors - at least one of them is an oil temp sensor.

U mean it won't fit because the screw holes are in the wrong place ? Get me the Lucas part number & I'll check fitment when I get to work tomorrow. Unusual to be supplied a pair of calipers which are different makes.

Nice one, cheers Bilal . :wink:
