20vtvw

the steering just got very heavy,no noise from pump or anything .. my engine is sat lower than normal to fit under bonnet this must have moved dp down.i just hope that when i bend it over the rack the problem doesnt continue as ive just had the rack reconditioned at a silly price!!

oh,its worth the wait!! Had a bit of a problem with mine today ,did about ten miles then lost power steering :( ,worked out that the down pipe is too close to(touching)the steering rack ,when its cooled down its fine so im gonna take off the manifold and bend it around the rack and arb,and also wrap it in heat wrap.. got some pics from tonight after getting the VAGAS back on :) ;) felt very good whilst out ,loving the mk4 shifter gearchange is now really slick..

my cars just passed mot and is now taxed so will be there,im only going from Harrogate tho so wont be at any of the meating points to get my pass..is it too late to post me one??or is it the same as before (green circle)? cheers Russ

get yours finnished and see for yourself :)

Thank you,,i havent been far as it wont be taxed till today but the short drive home from garage put a smile on my face ,so far im happy with the choice of v5 gearbox with 3.9 fd but will see what its like at motorway speeds ,.. my OZ vegas will be going back on this weekend then its time for vwfestival,will be on ccgb club stand this year (as long as it doesnt brake down like last year:()

Mot passed today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks ,its my second driveway conversion ,first was 20vt in my last Rado ,dont mind but all this rain really slows things down.

congratulations on getting it started ,mine was also the same on first start up (i had not plugged one of the hoses on back of inlet manifold)check for air leaks ,, 24v sounds great doesnt it ;)

thank you,, update time, ive managed to get all the exhaust on now and sorted ,i had to cut the flange on the cat and re position it to fit then weld it back up, also got all front end back on ,two slim line fans and kenlow two speed fan controller fitted and tested , At the moment im just getting everything ready for mot (on the 6th) so coilovers are all raised merc 8 holes fitted with good toyo proxes(but still spins up the wheels in 3rd!)all lights and horn working so shouldnt really fail its test unless ive missed something?? inside i managed to fix my dash lights problem by adding a live wire to E2 in the fues box,now have warning lights ,speedo,temp,revs and mfa,,so very happy about that... just got the dash bolted back in tonight and will get rest of wireing tucked out of the way and carpet re fitted over the weekend ready for MOT on monday!!!.. couple of pics from last week, hope you like ,,cos i love it!!!

if its passed we wont see him till its run out of fuel!!!!

check plug e2 is live if not it needs a jumper lead to it..(black wire at top of fusebox)hope this helps

Dance away ,,you deserve to,,good luck again for tomorrow!!

well done mate!!!! can wait for a ride in this.. good luck with the mot ,,

great news that your crackin on with this,,mines in for mot 6 august (race is still on!!!!!)

hi mate have you still got the steering cowlings? if so il take them please,,also wanting the expansion tank bracket if its still available..and il take the dash blank too please. i will be able to collect tomorrow eve if possible? cheers Russ

that tourque is great! have you had it mapped yet? bhp on these with a map is usually only 220ish so if yours isnt mapped its not too bad ,i have moved my battery to the boot and was very easy to do,do that then cold air feed ,not long now before my dbp 24v will be on the road...

dont worry its far from road worthy,,

IT STARTS!!!!!!!!!!! Had a full day on it today and got all the loom plugged in and fitted the battery into the boot ,i tried to fit the cat but my modded down pipe sits at the wrong angle so will have to fit a flexy on the front of the cat to fit the exhaust,, then since i had the battery connected i thought i would see if it would turn over,,,i did and started very easily.. i have a couple of isues that i need to sort like dials not moving and no battery light??? also my windows only work when doors open??

£20?? posted paypal gift??? cheers

Thanks mate but still have loads to do !!

small update,ive just fitted my exhaust mannifold :D its made up from audi 24v headers with vr6 flanges welded at the correct angle then vr6 downpipe bolted to that with two lambda bosses welded into that in the same possition as 24v manifold had them..its a really good fit so really happy with it..(and much much cheaper than off the shelf stuff) couple of pics now the loom is nearly all plugged in ..(still needs wrapping ) also got a new daily driver BMW 320d got some nice wheels to go on soon after ive fitted coilovers .. more updates soon as i realy want it back on the road now!!!

is it the same length as rado cat or mk3 ?if wesleyvr6 doesnt take it i will , cheers
