  1. Clean the throttle body and check for air leaks would be my first port of call.
  2. Whats the problem with the engine? was it scanned with the engine running?
  3. Hi,PM'd you several days ago with my address and asked for your paypal address, I've yet to receive it. Its no biggee, your health comes first, I just don't want you to think I'm a time waster.
  4. Yes thats fine, paypal gift? These wouldn't happen to be the same as VDO gauge illumination bulbs would they?
  5. I've only just seen this thread and I know it was started with good intentions, but it seems a rather good way for the unscrupulous to locate a Corrado and steal it or parts from it? I logged out and I can still see the link to the map, I wonder what an insurance company would say if someone were to have a theft claim and they were to find the car listed on an open to view database? IMO it needs some sort of security setings to prevent missuse, these cars aren't the most secure and there parts worth a great seal in some cases.
  6. How much for 2 bulbs posted please ;o)
  7. Stunning, inspirational even
  8. I'm with peter best on a classic policy
  9. You can rewire it to a switch on the dash until you can investigate further. A fused wire direct from the battery + to the horn, a wire from the - of the horn to a labelled switch on the dash, and the other side of the switch to a good earth point behind the dash. I had a volvo 740 that had the horn disconnected because the column had partly collapsed (like its supposed to do in a head on crash), there was a measurement in the haynes manual for the correct length but I only found this after replacing the column with a second hand one.
  10. If the wire was earthing after the horn the horn would sound, IMO you're looking for a short between the fuse box and horn for it to blow - to check this out connect a fused wire direct from the battery pos terminal to the horn pos terminal and press the horn button on the wheel. HTH Sorry. I didn't read this properly, ignore my post
  11. Has the hose collapsed internally holding the brake on? I have a pair of 280mm carriers
  12. Strip and clean the brakes, make sure the caliper slides aren't seized or the pads seized in the carriers.
  13. I've had similar probs with an audi cab that been sorn for a few years - the pedal went to the floor, new master and bled by the garage made no improvement, I bled them several times using the 2 man method, I then bought one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEALEY-Brake-Clutch-Bleeder-Bleeding-System-Kit-VS820-/140531959466?pt=UK_Air_Tools_and_Compressors&hash=item20b85b86aa A cracking bit of kit, I was also advised to wedge the pedal down over night - this pressurises any air bubbles in the system and they split into smaller bubbles and are easier to get out. I bled all 4 corners ( make sure the rear brake compensation valve on the rear axle is fully open if fitted), then opened various pipe connections to see if any air is trapped. I used the car yesterday and the pedal is improving all the time
  14. We've got a 2001 Golf GT TDi pd 115 (remapped to 140ish) at 80 MPH its doing 2200RPM - impractical for a N/A petrol engine I would say
  15. Smooth front bumper DBP VR6? driving towards Nantwich at around 2.30PM today
  16. Toledo V5 170 BHP 20V have vented rears and 312mm fronts.
  17. I've got the sealey 24V and its yet to undo a tight wheel bolt, very handy to have once you've cracked the bolt initially and great on nylocks, damper shafts and balljoint tapers that spin. If someone copied and pasted the guns above in black and white they'd look exactly the same............................. They aren't snap on, neither are they snap on money.

    Golf IV ABS Sensor

    What floppyman said, these bolts are made of cheese (
  19. VR6 Auxillary water pump - P/N - 251 965 561 B - have an invoice for this, again nearly £200 fitted in 2004! Doesn't leak, and works properly - £30 First dibs on this please, does the price include postage?
  20. I'm breaking a MK4 Golf V5 10V, the climate is complete less the rads, fans and slam panel
  21. Plastic clips are less likely to break if they are inclipped in warm weather or heated gently with a hairdryer, paint stripper type heat gun - easy does it though or a kettle of boiling water. Cold plastic is brittle. HTH someone )
