You can buy cartridges of various colours. The printer was £8 from costco, the cartridges are quite expensive but you can buy copies too

Have you cranked the engine over using a spanner on the crank pulley?

The other is wrapped alloy sheathing, this one is an A/C car

Heater matrix hose? Mine has a plastic cylinder sandwiched by rubber pipes

If you pop the gold coloured linkage off the motor you should be able to move the wiper rack with your hands, if its tight its probably the spindles seized. If its tight pop the long silver linkage off and you will be able to see if its O/S or N/S spindle that's seized. If you run the motor without the rack connected it should be almost silent - mind your fingers messing with the rack

Check to see if the motor is turning and the wipers are parked, the short linkage wears and drops off the motor, mine did this earlier this year

Post a pic, what makes you think it wont come out?

Looks nice. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/corrado/volkswagen-corrado-vr6-------------------1995/4840771

54 is the size of the piston in mm, MK2 / Corrado 16Vs have a similar calliper but the section that contains the pads and disks may not be wide enough for the G60 set up. Purple Tom / lillfuzzer will have these if you you can wait, or a recon exchange calliper would be £50 - 60 from a motor factor. Most used calliper will have the chrome peeling off the pistons by now Brake engineering is in Wrexham http://www.brake-eng.com/

MK3 Golf / Vento GTi / 16V / VR6 - early models with rectangular side repeaters generally speaking. Some will have been upgraded, some will be mix and match around the change over point.

Have you compared old and new tappets for physical size?

VR6, you only live once

I don't think so, try a wanted ad on CGTi?

I sold a pair of centre caps for these earlier this year for £20, I have no more left but the buyer bought them for spares so you may get lucky

Yes, but what about the other 5 pistons and there respective valves?

You could also temporarily refit the old tappets and torque down to prove its a tappet issue at maybe at the expense of another broken (inlet) cam though on refitting the new ones. Once the engine is back together I'd use a spanner on the crank pulley to rotate the engine gently several rotation to ensure there's going to be no valve / piston contact on start up.

Are you 100% sure the bottom of the engine didn't move between removal and refitting? If the car was in gear and moved slightly the engine would have rotated also. Before fitting the next set of cams I'd move the tappets front to back and vise versa as at least you have a few spare inlet cams now (not meant as a joke) Really bad luck

So you had the engine set to number 1 TDC and the cam with the off centre slot horizontal and uppermost? Did you progressively nip the cam cap bolts or just torque up the first nut you put on the cam caps? Cams are made of cast iron and cast doesn't like to bend, the best way to nip down the caps it to see which lobes are touching the tappets and tighten those progressively a turn at a time. If you tighten one with the base of the cam nearest the tappet (so its hollow or gapped) first you're trying to bend the cam. If you can secure the upper chain from jamming you can use a spanner on the crank pulley bolt and put your thumb over each sparkplug hole in turn to see if there's compression.

Has someone cut it out for a multichanger in the past

Nightmare :( If a valve has gone solid against a piston as you suggest then there's a possibility the valve itself is also bent, after you install the next set of cams you might want to compression test the engine before you rebuild it completely. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm not really sure how you'd use that under the sump and be able to position it easily? Driving onto a couple of pieces of timber to give an initial lift would probably be easier then lift one corner at a time as the jack would clear both the spoiler and subframes from the front. I have the Arcan jack still in its box and a yellow Halfords one in use but on its last legs.

Wow!

Hi, any pics of your current fleet? It may be worth mentioning your location in case members know of cars available in your area

The pedal sensor is also fitted to MK3 Golf gtis etc the early type with square side repeaters (M plate and older). The ABS should scan, but some scanners can't connect with 20 year old technology. Look on ebay for someone local to you who scans with VCDS for a tenner or so http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=vcds+scan&_sop=7 http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=vcds+scan&_sop=7&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xvagcom+scan.TRS0&_nkw=vagcom+scan&_sacat=0
