  1. 6 flexis on Corrados, 2 front calipers, 2 rear calipers and 2 body to rear axle. You'll be able to recover some of the cost by selling the front calipers and carriers as suitable for 280mm G60 conversions (£40-£50 in usable condition)

    4 stud hubs

    I was told the bottom ball joint arrangement was different on 4 stud MK3s? You'd need to check for ABS equiped or non ABS equiped too
  4. I paid £365 with admiral for my modified daily MK4 tdi estate and standard VR6 limited to 3000 miles (they matched a Tesco quote - they also own Tesco insurance.....) I'm 48, no accidents or convictions
  5. If the water is getting in when the car is being driven check the rear inner arches for rot, the shell I cut had holes around the petrol filler aperture under the arch. Take the rear cards off and place a torch under the arch and look for signs of the light from indide the car

    Calliper Colour?

    Silver for me, red if you want to stand out
  8. Place a note under the windscreen wiper asking the owner to contact you when the time comes he wants to part with it
  9. With the dizzy being on the passenger side of the engine the leads go in an anticlockwise direction, is that the way you've set it up?
  10. Can you see oil getting to the cams? I'd do an oil pressure test before you tear it down again
  11. You need to use your existing rear carriers with MK4 rear calipers (MK4 carriers have the wrong offset)

  14. So why dont you modify the cam wheel to suit ther VR6 sensor?
  15. Silver 16V with a black roof A13 VWC Crewe retail park yesterday
  16. You cant really do any damage, boring and laborious done by hand but satisfying all the same
  17. There's been a couple of regular track day lads on CGTi that have fitted chinese rods and suffered failures (a 1.8T and a home brew 16VT) where they never did with standard rods, the "ARP" marked rod bolts are failing they claim. I'm not saying these are the same items but buyer beware it seems. There are people here running standard rods with turbos using ARP rod bolts from reputable sources without problems. They do look nice though
  18. I always put the wooden post in an electric drill on slow speed before finishing by hand. You can buy an oscillating valve lapper to do the job. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gunson-G4095-Eezilap-Valve-Lapper-/281125002833?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item41745b1e51
  19. I think the hall sensor is inside the dizzy, I'm not 100% sure, my cars are coilpack, others will advise you better
  20. The speed sensor is the crank sensor (not cam sensor) You will get a code for the crank sensor if if you do a scan and the engine's not running. If the engine runs its unlikely to be the crank sensor - a faulty crank sensor will give no spark or fuel injected. Crank sensors can give missfires when they start to break down.
