  1. Does anyone know what size the little screws are that hold the mirror together. You have to remove the glass to get to them. I took my mirrors apart to paint them and have lost the screws .look like they could be m2 or 3
  2. Hi are you able to supply me a Heater control icon sheet? im after one that is white where the factory one is green leaving just the blue and red squares as they were originally thanks
  3. my local stealers extremely knowlegeable and helpful parts dept helped me when i first got my 16v as i was getting mixed messages re what to put in my power steering as vw have 2 methods, if the reservoir cap is Red (as mine is)then you should used ATF fluid, if Black then use power steering fluiid
  4. i just did my 1.816v samco kit off ebay and madeup the hose from the end of the block to the heater bypass valve ( this hose had burst and is now unavailable from vag) i will be doing the others when i have time as i only changed them 6 months ago. for info for the end of block hose i used sfs hoses 25-19mm 90deg reducer bend , an alloy straight coupler and a 19mm 45deg bend to thr bypass valve then another 19mm 45deg bend to the heater matrix hope that helps someone, i intend to join the 2 leftover hoses (the horseshoe one will need to be shortened) to make one from the expansion tank to the metal pipe

  10. can anyone tell me the min ET i can run on my 16v ? i fancy a sert of audi wheels(possibly TT) but im not sure if they will fit as i will need 4x100-5x100 adapters i would be looking to use 205 or maybe 195 tyres cheers
  11. am i correct i thinking the mk3 golf matrix is a direct fit but without the weekness of the corrado one making the duff pressure valve redundant, or should i just change the pressure valve?
  12. some cars have the green fluid (black cap on reservoir) others have ATF fluid (red cap) Gsf only list the green so did the dealer but when i insisted they double check they agreed with me that my 1990 16v should have ATF in it , if you look on the red cap it does say ATF
