The Jetex pollen filter is #413 and is excellent. Granted these things do work better on recirculatory systems but having had it for a week i can already see what would have been either in the car or on my lungs.....just one thing tho (and dont laugh!) it was a two man job to fit the thing!!! It clips onto the top of the grille no problem but then you have to lever it onto the studs....dont say i didnt warn you....

2 weeks on......this is beginning to bug me now especially as the rest of the car is tops! Is there any kind of remedy before i head to VW in (ahem) Benidorm, open my wallet & say help yourself amigos................copper grease any help on back of the pads...?? :( :(

Join the club!! I ordered through jetex, i think its part number 413, they could not have been more helpful..... :lol:

As per the above..... when you slide away the plastic grille from underneath the black plastic shroud you basically look down a tube to the fan motor but oppo this is a strange black flap angled at about 45 degrees. It has a V.A.G. part number on it but i cant read mine since its 14 years old....what the hell is it for?? Help :shock: :shock:

Good question!! Its a 94 Corrado LHD with rotary controls. I took the dial off and saw the sliding contact and managed to move it so that the fan now works on 2 & 3. If its possible to buy solely the brass slider then i may well go for this but if it costs and i have to start hacking away at the dashboard i may just leave it.....

Hi there, my fan works fine on 2,3 & 4 but oddly not on number one so its asphxiation or gale force....can anyone shed any light on this? :?

Hi there, sorry to hear about your misfortune, keep thinking of the end result mate it will be worth it. Inlet manifold looks tops, i started mine yesterday using wire wheel and WD 40, what do you recommend? Also the cam cover is a horrid yellowish colour, how did you get yours in such top condition? Best of luck, the Diesel Junior :lol:

Thanks Cheesewire thats much appreciated. Happy motoring!

Hi there! Well my VR6 has safely arrived here in sunny Spain. L reg but only 80k km, its just bliss. Maybe an automatic but its just superb. OK, something we all love, the dreaded intermittent fault. Since yesterday about 60% of the time (although its getting worse...) when i stop the car and put it into reverse i get a noise from (i think) the passenger side (LHD) back wheel which i can only describe as the sort of noise that Chewbacca used to make in Star Wars (!!). If i accelerate through the noise disappears, but its really is quite loud and is puzzling me! Any advice much appreciated, maybe wheel bearing, maybe grabbing caliper....off for a drive in the hills in the best car VW have ever made. Regards, The Diesel junior

Thanks for that Fla - you speak sense! How do you find it as an auto? My preference would have been a manual but a low mileage one with LHD screames 'buy me' and the rest is history! :D Any advice on HT leads and spark plugs?
