  1. If you but a TORX on this one I guess your sorted: :) Or this could be an option if you need to drill it out:
  2. Just wanted to say again TORX is the shit.......lol.........a big :salute: :salute: :salute: to the life saver TORX....lol.........it's almost like a small MacGyver :) EDIT: and yes this thread rules....:)
  3. ok, thnx......btw anyone happening to know what the "air guide grill" cost from the stealer in UK? I got one quoted today for roughly £100 Part-no seem to be: 535 853 671 J
  4. Anyone know if the 2 guide rings around the fan's on a VR6 still is available at the stealership?.
  5. Just out of curiosity, is it possible to fit a Golf 4 R32 steering wheel with airbag in a Corrado VR6 with original airbags in it?, anyone done anything like this?
  6. that polytrol thingy is some kind of "oil".....
  7. This stuff is doing it's thing, and also seem to be quite long lasting, also sustain rain quite well: Owatrol's Polytrol http://www.owatrol.com/products/Polytrol_pi.pdf Used it on mye Passat GT VR6 (the ones with the big plastic surroundings) with great success...:)
  8. hehe, yea defenatly airbags...lol.......only one I have here is this one: Bigger on in this link: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3244/292 ... f3a3_b.jpg I can get more pics for you if needed....:)
  9. yea it can, but I think it mostly caused by the tentioners being bad, making the chain come a bit more "loose" and then snap because of that.....:)
  10. Thought I should throw in a little update, just recently got it out of it's winter hideouts, starting to wonder what I have gotten myselfe into here.......lol Engine ready for cleanup, chain replacement, and maybe a new head gasket, and doing the "top".. Ready for blasting and coating:
  11. As mentioned before here, a torx slammed into it should get it out...:)
  12. yea, but will most likely be off for some weeks, as I have to send things away for powdercoating etc....:)
  13. I would want to disconnect some of the powersteering lines to get the radiator support beam off the car, is it any problems emptying the powersteering system, and leave it empty?, or should it be clamped off?.....ie does the pump get rusty etc if it's left empty?.
  14. yea, most likely have to be removed as it's going in to be blasted/painted etc...:)
  15. hehe, not sure, just see that's the brand arz-tuning have on their site...:)
  16. Anyone got experience with ball joints etc branded "Moog" ?, much difference from the original VAG parts? Maybe also comments on "Corteco" bushings.
  17. Can I get down the rear axel without removing brake lines?, seem like some of them are fastened to a bracket on the axel itselfe?,. Also is the ABS sensor connected on the outside, or do I have to disconnect it inside, under the seats?. thnx
  18. hmm, he found them in the parts program, but when he was trying to put in an order it said discontinued, however I'm a bit unsure if some have trouble using these order systems, if anyone is in a stealership in the uk one day, maybe one could ask to check ?......:), would be nice to get it original, but maybe febi is much the same quality?....
  19. ok, thnx, dis you happen to get the rubber "bearings" that fit on the parts I marked with red circles on your pic new?.....I was at a local stealership today, and they said it was discontinued, so if anyone know if it's still possible to get them new, it would be greatly appreciated.
  20. hmmm, maybe I should hold off on the blasting of the engine?, was thinking of closing all open areas and vacume/blow it with air afterwards, before opening anything, byt might not be a good idea?. Do you have any pics from before, during and after the burshes/coating ?
  21. Going to take of my break calipers on the Corrado VR6, and don't want to leave the system empty of break fluid (supposedly not so good for some of the breaking components, starting to rust etc), and I have a 1.8 Passat 35i parts car hanging around here, so was wondering if anyone knows if the hose connector on the break calipers are the same on these cars?, or is the hole bigger on the VR6? (No I'm not gone drive around this those calipers...lol...;) )
  22. Finaly got the engine out, now it's only the rest left.....hehe.........how is the best way to blast the engine, and any special places that should be "covered" up. As the engine sits now it still got quite a bit of bits and pieces on it, is it best to remove as much as possible before blasting or?. Cheers!
  23. hehe, yea I bet it will be more swearing coming up, well, atleast the engine is soon out.........only the fuel lines left, and ready for lift off I think.....:)
