cheers flusted . jon good to hear from you . family life is good got a son due mid jan so the c is pretty neglected at the mo , haven't driven it for a while . although been cleanin her regularly and doin little tit bits. but i purchased an a6 wagon a couple of months back so trying to save up for a remap for that as it is well sluggish. wes

hi all, i took my intake mani off my valver to give it a buff and when replacing it there are five bolts that fasten the top part of the mani to the threads on the lower part. it is the third , central bolt that i have over tightened and snapped the thread from the lower. i am presuming that this will affect the vacuum needed for the engine to function properly. any body know how best to fix this and if it aint poss could do with a 50mm lower mani to replace it. ta wes

this was a pulsating shock , danced around like cowboy in a saloon . girlfriend was in stiches though . :shock:

Has anybody used this in the past ? got some yesterday for my valver but not sure where to spray it . if i undo any piping after the fuel distributer obviously the car cuts out . i've also tried to do it by taking out the filter and spraying it into the airflow sensor plate but its not getting completely sucked in and its also very difficult as i cant tilt the unit up because of all the pipework connected . has anyone got any reports from using this in the past ? any good/bad things to report?

please help . 16v drivers side rear calliper is stuck fast . tried jerking the car back and forward and it is just dragging on the gravel . have done a search and know that a sticky calliper will only get worse and probably needs replacing but could o with freeing it up for the time being .have taken the wheel of and coated it in brake dust remover gand let it soak , its just i am not sure what to do next , old dude next door says whack it with a hammer . if this is right where should i be hitting . not even sure how the calliper works . any help reatly appreciated wes.

ok so followed it the way nocrap said and everything went ok top banana . i was changing the tank because i was under the impression that the sensor inside had gone as the temperature warning light kept flashing as it does when theres not enough water in. but this light is still flashing what else could it be folks?

where would we be without nocrap. chers buddy

ok will check , couldn't be anything to do with an earth could it . cheers nocrap.

have noticed a small amount of serring fluid in the boot that is on the firewall that the column goes through . haven't really delved into it to find out where its coming from . just thought i would see if any one had any ideas?

should i be gettin a shock of the dizzy cap while the car is running? it bloody hurt :(

just about to replacemy expansion tank and fan switch was wondering whats the best way to drain the system and refill it again without any airlocks? thanks wes

i was lucky enough to grab some cheap of the bay. they were in a state and have taken a real effort to clean up but well worth it . will get some fore and after piccie up soon.

just read this thread and am impressed with the handywork displayed but how do we go about sorting out kerb marks out without ruining the wheel. cheers grease monkeys.

lovely jubbly , will be going on my jollies for a couple a weeks and also considerin having a go at the cylnder head . thanks to all for your input.

i will be replacing my rusty injector pipes with some baided ones that i have buffed up to nice shine . when taking the old ones of will i spill fuel all over ?

as it says really . car got a bit hot when stuck in traffic and started to jump a little so pulled ver to let it chill . after an hour it would start ok then go lumpy and then cut out all within half a minute , had to call recovery to pick me and five month old daughter up :(

cool riley , gonna check that now ill keep you posted

the coil at the side of the ecu ? or te one on the underside of the bulkhead ?

anyone

after draining all the water and coolant from my car yesterday to replace the matrix the temp warning light wont stop flashing , does this mean i have air in ithe system somewhere and how do i get rid of it.

its a valver . any one?

as above.

with regards to fog light switch that is a bigger connector , everything i can see is connected just not sure where this is from . it is the same size connector as the one that connects to the back of the heater controls and powers the light. early heater controls.

valver 91 . need to change sig . also fitted new wiring for the clocks and it seems one of the wires was in a differnt place to my original one so sorted that out although no indicator arrow at all but the indicators themselves are still working .

no flusted it is grey/yellow and brown, dash lights seem to be fine , although i have just fitted new clocks aswell and the right side indicator arrow is flashin for both sides and it is also flashing rapidly when i accelorate .
