I beleive the only benefit the plastic one has over a metal one is that it reduces some of the engine noise....

most people go for the metal ones over the plastic for looks if they polished them up... but i beleive the studs are different between the 2 so bare this in mind is swapping.

fitted 2 front to back brake lines and passenger side brake line.... took about 30 minutes plus the time it took to bleed the system up.

one more off the MOT list!

I remember when I ran a group buy on schrick manifolds with stealth a few years back, if memory serves me right we ordered over 35 of them through VR6OC, still don't see many of them about second hand though and only takes 10 minutes whip the manifold off if you know what your doing. Loved mine on my last VR6, and you can also cheaply source the ECU, tank and solenoid from other VW models and places I learnt from having a chat to Vince @ stealth recently about the 'premium' attached to VSR's.

You can make up adaptor plates or re-drill to accommodate the OBD2 throttle body too if you have already converted to OBD2 already so don't let that out you off :-)

Good luck with the sale.

Just buy direct. Vr6oc have a 10% discount on them for members.

Punch them in the face!

Jeeez. As if people are considering breaking a car over a head gasket these days :( I paid 1.2k for mine. Head gasket had gone, needed new timing chains, heater matrix so if that's all that's wrong with yours get it fixed man :)

I've replaced alot on mine over the last 3 years. Want it as mint as possible, hopefully once it's on the road up keep will be fairly low cost wise!

Chrome is the worst web browser I've used since Internet Explorer 6.0...

got my cams this morning, many thanks.

I'm in stoke and want it doing but I'm garage bound until I replace front sub frame :(

Shouldn't you be winding the but down instead of up? If they are new coilovers it will take a little while to settle...

Here we go.

Vapour blasting is what you need. I'll get a pic of my lower manifold when I had it done... Just need find my iPad :)

I'd only advise on using the VW tool to avoid damaging / breaking the rings.

Got mine from dealer. Cost me a few quid.

It's like... Wax lol :) made by wurth,, semi transparent.

Could try spraying chain wax on. I've got my KW's coated in it to keep the threads clean

I have now sourced some of these.

Many thanks all for your offers.

All sorted now. Looks like someone in the past had not routed the black pipe from the gravity valve properly and was crushed againt the underside of the car. Pipe now has shape and is properly routed, I can now easily blow through the pipe and now getting fumes going into the evap canister. Many thanks for your help.

Cheers Vince has the 268 set turned up for michael ratcliffe ?

I have one, but the but the bit your after has the tab broken off! :(

Because I'm a true cheap skate. Has anyone got the dimensions for the cam locking tool or could possibly trace a template of one so I can knock one up for fitting my cams along with details on what thickness material I need.

Cheers

Pete

Can I have some pics matey please? I want get shot blasted would I be able press them out and re-use them?

Condition and price of front wishbones delivered?

You can use the powerrhoar on both obd1 and 2... Still using mine after it was upgraded to obd2 ;)

Anything actually going to happen with this or just another one of those things that fades away?

If the original thread starter doesnt have the time to progress it, maybe someone with more time can look into it further?
