Sorry not hi-jacking the thread but i am having all kind of problems with my 2.0ltr 16v wonder if it could be injector related? having just changed my manifold..... mmm something else to check!

Very nice mate!

Hull. Nothing more to say really!

yep originals are glass and they are held on with silicon sealant am sure there was/is a group buy for these as i got some. very easy to replace....

FK Highsports on mine with a 60mm drop. Wheels 17'sX 7.5... the ride although harder than standard is very good and the handing is greatly improved. for the money would say it was worth every penny....

Looks like theres a common theme here... as i progress i will post my findings and suggest we all do the same!!! owning a rado is great fun!!!

Thanks I believe that is good advice wish id never done the bl***y manifold now!!! yeh will probably have a further look this weekend change ht leads etc and if no better get the heep of junk taken to my local vw specialist and sign a blank cheque for him to sort!!! coz i am sure it will cost me a small fortune to sort.... sometimes i really hate owning a rado! :mad: :onfire: :brickwall: :mad2:

Could i not adjust the metering head?? well i could if i knew what it looked like or where it was!!! Oh my god im a newby at this!!!

2.0 16V love it loads of fun and reliable!!! cheap to fix!!! I hope! seeing as mine runs like a bag of spanners at the mo!!!

Sanj sounds interesting and very alike my problems you are right it does seem to reset itself after leaving it to stand? well am going to try the cheap option first HT leads then i suppose the isv... will keep ya posted... quick question re isv would a golf 16v isv fit ok?

Well tried again tonight ran like a dream for 2 mins then yep you guessed it dead again... really dont get it... could a faulty isv cause this???

yep i agree if they look coooool who cares

not checked them yet....will have a look thanks

Thanks good idea although dont think she will drive!!! GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRR :mad:

Well tried it tonight in the dark... no sparks or arks!!! It ran sweet for about 2/3 mins and then back to square one ... bag of old spanners... :brickwall:

no havnt done that yet!! why???

Any more ideas?

Thanks have tried that... when it runs long enough to try!!!! doesnt seem to make any great difference....runs s*#t no matter what.. cant see or hear any leaks from any where!!!

I recently changed my manifold to a nice shinney 50mm one, job went ok apart from a tricky stickey injector, fitted new gaskets etc, took it for a run about half hour and it was great running better than it ever has!! full of the joys of spring i thought i would clean the engine bay up abit, sprayed the de grease around and washed it off looked quite alot better and then everything seemed to go wrong... the car decided to start running like a bag of spanners miss firing dropping revs and stalling....will not run for more than a few mins and that is with foot hard to floor at times! ok i thought let it dry out so i did over night wipped round etc, today still the same, removed spark plugs gave em a clean still the same! bought a new dizzy and new plugs still the same!! havnt changed the ht leads as no where open on a sunday stocks em ... typical! removed spark plugs again and noticed they where covered in carbon deposits?? Have tried the search hence changing what i have been able too.... does anyone have any other ideas?? what a great weekend i love my rado!!!! :roll: :!: thanks

Lookin good especially the install... would have to agree with STORM 2 parcell shelf lets it down... but im sure you have further finishing off to do to it! very 8)
