    Urgent help needed please at bottom of page :D

     

    Hi all :D

     

    I need to get some new Injector inserts for my 1.8 16v. I think they are called injector inserts :oops: they are the copper and brown plastic parts that sit in the inlet manifold and hold the injectors in

     

    Can someone please let me know what the part number is for them and if possible what they cost :D

     

    Thanks

    Its working 8) 8) 8)

     

    I didn’t have much chance to look at it today so I just lowered one side raised the other and made sure that the motor was in the right place and it very slowly worked :lol: Ive greased it all up :roll: and its getting smoother :D

     

    Dont I feel like an idiot now :lol: I just assumed that it would just swap over but forgot that its a Corrado and nothing is simple.

     

    One problem Ive found it that the two silver arms that hold the trim up when on tilt are missing/snapped off. Did you notice them when you sent it Andy id doubt it was done in transit and it was packed very well :D Can you replace these (my old mech as them on) or do I just have to put up with it.

     

    Also its a very good job that the cars going in for a respray over the winter, just look at the state of my paint :(

    Bloody Corrados nothings ever simple :lol: Andy please dont feel that im saying that you sold me a dodgy part its probably just me doing it wrong :lol: When I say pushing and clunking There isn’t any real force put onto it. It was just my thumb that pushed it down and it sounded like the panel was just caught on something.

     

    So the mech just bolts on and its the motor and the panel that need to be adjusted. Ive got the day off work now so ill see if I can sort it :lol:

    Hi :D

     

    My current sunroof tilts but doesn’t slide :lol: (You got to laugh) So ive bought another that’s been tested by the seller so I know it should work.

     

    We've gone to fit it today and have had a few problems !!! Everything went really well taking the old one out and just reversed the order to put the new one in (swapped the metal panel over to the new mech) We had it all bolted up in to the roof and tested. It tilts fine but doesn’t slide :lol: I spoke to the guy I bought it from and he says that it must be absolutely correctly aligned and that its all explained in the Bentley manual which I dont have :lol:

    Ive been back down to the garage (VW dealer where my brother works) and we’ve had another quick look and if you push the back of the sunroof down while pushing the button then it makes a loud clunk sound and slides back perfectly. But if you then push the button to bring it back it sounds like its rubbing on something and grinds to a stop about half way so you have to help it along til its back in position. Looking at it the new sunroof it does look like its a little lower down on the left hand side.

     

    Also just remembered :lol: You have to push the button twice to make the roof fully tilt it stops half way which my old one didn’t do :roll:

     

    So if anyone on here that’s fitted a new roof has some hints/tips please help us out OR if anyone could possibly scan and email me the Bentley pages that would be great.

     

    Thanks J
