Yeah i'd say it was the sniffer pipe too....remove that bodge of a bung and buy a new one from GSF or VW, they're only a couple of quid

I believe so, but i'm sure someone will jump in quickly if i'm wrong.

Think you can get it straight from VW, or from here http://www.vagparts.co.uk/ in their aladdins cave bit...

Yeah, probably a good idea to replace that bung fairly soon.... VW p/n - 02A 301 115 A - £3.13 Or get one of a breaker

:lol: I have now

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I think there's only 2 options for the rad fan switch one with 3 pin orientation in a row the other with the middle one set higher....

as far as i know the early ones are now obsolite through the dealer......

Exhaust cam is the long one as it accommodates the cam sprocket, Inlet is the short one!

I seem to remember Toad recommending super 4's for valvers, will ask him later...unless he sees this first

Did you get the accelerator one from VAG, how much, part no.? You can get the rubbers from GSF for around £1each or less I believe that you have to get one for a Mk1 golf though

Cool, let me know when you have another :wink:

How's this one going Dave?

KR cams will be what you've got already in the 1.8 16v head.

Confusing.....

Looking at ETOS i'd say that they are Monte-Carlo's

Looks good Albie and will be useful in some cases.......I can see at least one of those numbers is wrong for the later variant of the 9a. Essentially you've advised people to tighten somthing like their timing belt tensioner nut up to 45nm, this, in the case of my late 9a, would break the stud that you tighten the nut on to...this is because it actually needs to be tightened to 25nm due to the different type of stud used....m8 > m10 i think..........que lots of swearing and slight panic that you might not be able to get the stud out and my have slightly crushed the pulley... When i asked one of the VAG mechanics what the torque setting was for the stud he was very loathed to give it to me, undestandably(sp?).. Looking good so far though :D

Time, patience and a good amount of wet/dry sandpaper

Not knowing the engine doesn't help....i had (touching wood) a similar problem on my 16v 9a, changed the 5th (cold start) injector gasket and haven't had the problem since....coincidence maybe.

Where's best to buy the brake hoses needed to do a Mk4 rear brake conversion? Many thanks :salute:

I cant help on the gearbox question but i do have a brand new bosch thermotime switch that i bought in error that you could buy of me.

Same as any other corrado aint they?...£30 maybe....
