  1. No worries mate, hope you get it sorted. I shouldn't worry too much about it though, getting hold of a loom shouldn't be too difficult, and I doubt it would be that expensive second hand.
  2. I don't think he can see my posts Pete. :roll:
  3. Sorry I presumed you had the harness attached to the engine, but you'll need this one too, it plugs into the ECU (next to the engine harness) and goes through the bulkhead. You do most of the splicing to the Corrado loom using this loom, and has the lambda probe and Air Volume meter plugs etc. Part No. on VAGCAT as you probably already know :D Hope you get it sorted pal971400.jpg[/attachment:oozoye1k]
  4. Hve you got the loom with all the orange/blue/grey multi pin plugs on it? That's the main one that you need.
  5. I've got Bilsteinn PSS coilies, they were a bit on the hard side, but lasted me for many miles, eventually I got them rebuilt by Bilstein as the bushes inside were fecked after 40-50k miles ish of hard driving. They rebuilt them, standard price for new seals etc is £200 but because mine were so shot is cost me £400ish in the end but I they softened them up for me and reduced the fast bump and coupled with the same spring rates that Kev has, they make for a really good ride, absolutely spot on for UK roads. The point of this post is, bilsteins may be a bit more hardcore that other kits, but the company back up is first class, which is why so many people use them in racing. Incidently if you have H&R coilies then Bilstein will rebuild these too as they are Bilstein shocks.
  6. I wasn't suggesting you did that, instead you put the new race in first then the old one on top of it and tap that, you only use the screwdriver to help get the old one out. :D Hence the old one being the old race. Sorry I wasn't very clear. 8) Just read your post David, we are both singing from the same hymn sheet I think!!
  7. Exactly at the end of the day it will either be ignored by the majority thus causing animosity from law abiding citizens Or the 'people who always drive 10 mph under whatever speed limit is in force' will p1ss EVERYONE off and cause accidents with people taking unecessary overtaking risks. I regularly get stuck behind a woman who insists on driving 40 in a 60, I overtook her the other day and she flashed her lights as if to say i was some kind of dangerous driver, then a couple of minutes later we came to a 30mph where I did 30, and she caught me up prettey quick so she must have been doing 40 still (probably trying to make a point to me) :roll: god I wish there had been a speed trap I would have had a right chuckle to myself on my way to work!!
  8. Just think of the 24V as a pair of 12v's going at it in perfect harmony :grin:
  9. If you do do the tighten them up and loosen them back technique to put your bearings on, go easy on them, too many people really crank them up, then loosen them off having just put a flat spot on the bearing, meaning they don't last at all, I personally do the nut up till it feels tightish then drive it a few miles, then check it again, sometimes it needs to be nipped up again- there should be a very small amount of play and no lumpiness. If I were you I'd replace your own wheel bearings, it's easy to do and only takes half an hour or so- when you take it all apart it's all very logical. You'll take more care than someone in a garage, especially a VW garage. You don't need any special tools, you can tap the outer race into the rear disc carefully using a hammer, a large screwdriver and the old one. You should get about 70k out of the rears. :D If the stub axles are bent you'll eat through tyres as well as bearings, bent wheels (side to side) cause bearings to fail quickly too.
  10. Sorry mate I was wrong then, but who the hell sells brake components that don't fit the intended application, that really is shockingly bad- they must have had thousands of returns unless it was for a different issue mk4 perhaps? what make were they out of interest? Edit, oh I've just read your post, they have the VAG part no on their box.....bad product then
  11. You don't need the rear lambdas, just the front two widebands. The rears only make sure the CAT is doing it's job.
  12. The Audi TT 3.2 pedal gets in the way of the fusebox which is why I'm binning mine in favour of a Mk5 one. It can be fitted but it's not very neat.
  13. Who did you get the engine from out of interest? for parts you can try motors in motion where i got my engine from, but there service was not brilliant. Stealers for the pedal chap, I'll give you a part number when i get home, it's ablut £80. I got a new mass air sensor for about £70 online.
  14. It won't be a matter of weather they are genuine or not!!!!! If you replaced a genuine part with a pattern part if still has to fit the application!!! It's far more likely to be the wrong part (caliper)
  15. Your car just keeps getting better....really liking the style of that tailpipe, infact I think it looks much better than anything you can buy off the shelf....8) Very BMW M ish which in my view is no bad thing.
  16. Totally right, your tyre choice make a massive difference, Get a tyre with a softer sidewall (therefore nothing japanese), this will help take the hard edge off bumps. A lightweight wheel is very important too. :thumbleft:
  17. i would try using petrol to dissolve the oil, then rinse it through with gunk, and finally go down to a garage and get it high pressure steam blasted.
  18. Such a nice car 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
  19. I haven't got that far yet, but I'm basically cutting and shutting all the standard TT stuff. The pair of cast manifolds bolt onto the downpipe which also houses the CAT's and the four lambda's stuff. The tunnel is big enough to fit it all in there, the brackets to hold it up need a bit of work and the lengths of the straights need shortening.
  20. I'm using an Audi TT engine, some of the Mk4's have a different throttle body arrangement making them a bit higher, not at an angle like the TT one is. Airbox is slightly different, has a trumpet going into the Air mass sensor which is slightly bigger, I'm sure there are a few other changes but not many :D good engines to get, in my view less likely to have had hard miles, as the TT V6 is hardly a drivers car like the R32, mine is like new inside. :D The only thing I would say is make sure you go up and collect the bits, i ended up with a mix of various different looms from different cars with made the wiring a nightmare :roll:
  21. Sounds like it wouldn't be that after all then, you could check the flow is unrestricted by connecting it up to a garden hose and running water through the system (without the thermostat in), just to make sure though, run some rad flush through the system beforehand, you'd be suprised how dirty it gets.
  22. Seriously impressive!! :clap:
  23. Probably just a worn front wheel bearing, good time to change it if the engine is out.
  24. how much did it cost out of interest?
