    Oil cooler leak

    Thats your oil pressure switch, the colour denotes the pressure range (it does say in tiny writing on the switch) IIRC 1.8-2.0 BAR for the white one there are two types: normally open and normally closed you have to be careful that you get the right one, by using a multi meter on it to see or else you`ll get the buzzer and light as soon as you go over 2000RPM for fitting, unclip the lead and use 19mm spanner i think
  7. mines the same size as kev`s ....ooer!!! but i fitted mine lower down, behind the bumper on the bit that goes rusty (if you know what i mean?) temps are between 94 whilst moving and 108 when stationary, my car did used torun VERY hot (>128)until i fitted this!

    8 Valver Induction

    stick the k&n in and remove the snorkle in the front of your air box, i dont think you`ll notice much of a difference apart from maybe little sharper response, an induction type noise and it`ll sound a bit faster if you get what i mean do a search for drilled airbox too that`ll turn up some reading for you HTH ben
  11. so its not on a plunger type affair like the bonnet (or am ithinking mk2 golf..)
  12. my alarm is on my boot light for the boot open sensor, is there another switch i could put the wire to and disconnect the boot light?? (dunno if it stays on but does loose charge after a couple of days)
  13. i`ve just purchased a dual microwave sensor for my toad alarm, just wondering if anyone had any ideas on fitting? i think it goes under the handbrake cover and then just wires upto the alarm??! any ideas on if i need to reset the alarm after for it to recognise it?? any input much appreciated cheers ben
  14. thanks to phaserno1 for my sensor as above!
  15. my (dubious) RR results: 157.4hp @134mph/6507rpm 135lbs/ft @5424rpm
  16. i fitted my mocal on my 16v with no bother really, did have it up on ramps to make it easier but still was ok job. (put mine behind my bumper just down and in front of the rad if anyone`s interested)
  17. low tyre pressure out of tracking or camber they`d be my first guess
  18. cool as! whats his real car like????? (metro?)
  19. mine passed today aswell!!! "gonna need a new brake line before long!" is all i got! so (sorry to steal the thread) Goodrich?? how much, who, where and how hard to fit? thanx ben
  20. VR6 i just did mine with a marker pen to see what it would be like, look fine to me
  21. theres loads of threads on this but dunno where either! :oops: iirc around 90 is norm, 70 is a bit low my 1.8 16v sits at around 80-90 water and 94-104 oil once warmed up
  22. a mate of mine in an old 8v golf got stuck on the way to france a couple of years ago, think he got the passengers to sit in the boot to get clear
