Was going to change my sump gasket as it looks a stright forward procedure but when when looking at the all the bolts of the sump, i cant see 2 of them, which should be there, cos there are 2 holes on the gasket which are those 2 which i cant see the two bolts which i cant see are next to the gearbox on the 16v do u have to take the gearbox out? as it doesnt say so on the haynes manual for the mk2 golf 16v cheers

good thing u changed your mind about selling the corrado dazzyvr6, theres a big difference between the 2 cars like the corrado being a smart looking corrado and a golf being an average hatchback :roll: was the golf? a mk4? if so the only reason to go for a mk4 golf would be to have a newer car jim16v your totally right about when u have just washed and waxed your car, u totally feel proud of owning it :mrgreen:
