  1. why do would like to take the bottom end out again???
  2. Can't wait to see what you guys achieved. I wish I could of stayed but I wanted to fit the cam etc before today so I can MOT it. Without the cat and the 4 branch it does sound better than before. :) I'm happy so far with the cam too. Yeah Mic we didn't hang around,the car seemed to like the punishment though. :) Well Tom at least it was the vicars daughter and not his wife or son. :) Hopefully we can all catch up in the not too distant future,for more project update chat etc
  3. Sorry I couldn't stay longer but I really enjoyed seeing the car and the rest of the guys. My first drive in a VR6 too. Mic's VR is great fun to drive. The noise was fantastic and it was very punchy. Good luck tomorrow. :) and thanks again Stu for the bits n bobs.
  4. if you use the audi s2 pistons in your engine you will have a much more suitable compression ratio of about 9.0:1 Just putting a 16v head on a pg block will not work. Compression ratio will be too low as you have hinted above.
  5. ah.. oh dear. as Mr Charged said soak it and then get a very good fitting spanner/socket and re-try.
  6. I did it by putting some mole grips around the long neck of the distributor to get better purchase on it when mine was seized t get some leverage. You have obviously undid the 13mm bolt holding the bracket in place right? Not taking the pi$$ just checking.
  7. bleeding the master brake cylinder helped mine a great deal.
  8. yeah the car is cool,but I'm loving that garage., :D
  9. great effort mate. i'll look out 4 u on line this week.
  10. the injectors are earthed through the ecu electronically to fire the injectors. You can check that you have 12 volts to the rail with a multimeter obviously
  11. Removing the inlet manifold is not the most fun you will ever have working on your car tbh. I have removed the head with it on and with it off. Both methods have their draw backs. Are you a slight person? It will help if you are. Not alot of hand arm room back there. :)
  12. ..man your going some now. Your officially out of hibernation. thanks for the engine porn. :)
  13. Did you do this yourself?......is this possible to do at home or am i best to bite the bullet and book it in somewhere? That sounds like a parts and labour price. You will need to take the gearbox off.Not everyones cup of tea to be done at home on the driveway.
  14. check the idle screw hasn't come out at the back of the throttle.
  15. eurosports wrc program... I know kimi is heading the other way but I didn't know that sebastian was eying up F1. That would be cool.
  16. any truth that Sebastian Loeb may be switching to F1 ? Maybe as soon as the last race of this seasons.!?!?!??
  17. do u mean o-rings?? U can get repair kits from vw... I bought one yesterday...
  18. James May. Quality. I love topgear.
  19. anyway... why no pics? slacking. :)
  20. oww.. well the money is spent now. That's what i tell myself. So you may as well get on and fit them and worry about it later. :)
  21. Not so sure on that one matey. I'd want to see that with a timing gun before I believed it. :) Knock sensors are just passive devices,unless the ecu's are looking for the background noise they produce under normal running?!?
