With the aircon pump off, can you not run a std G60 belt to use the car?? I have air on my syncro but haven' got around to gassing it up yet. If the good weather stays I might have to though. Those pumps look pretty std across the VW range. You may be able to get one off a more modern VW if needed. Gavin

Defence of the country not a pressing issue between 10 and half past?? :mrgreen: Sorry I forgot lecky tea break is half nine while half ten.... :roll: VR still up north?

Where would he get some green line tape from without knowing someone in the forces? :lol: Trivia, the Skates call it Phantom tape cos that's what they used it on.. a Minefield of useless information. :roll: Gavin

Racershardware in Peterborough rebuild shocks. I had my AVOs done by them a couple of times before I saw the light and chucked them in the bin........and fitted 'ordinary' suspension. Gavin

Yes or ring Rust Electronics on 0161 929 7550. They are in Altrincham, I think they made those alarms some time ago. Gavin

Plastic bit is same as 4cyl. 053 103 663 Gavin

I am sure its the same as all the other watercooled motors. Gavin

Anything more than 5cm short starts to make a difference. If you replace it might as well do it right though. Gavin

Tom you are like Homer, if it wasn't for bad luck..........you'd have no luck at all! :mrgreen: Anyway, how was the party? Did anyone see you in the fiesta??? Gavin

Mike, is it one of my looms? PM me either way. Gavin

There is a place for Matt Black. I think I'll break out the 1200 grit and take the shine off mine. :mrgreen: It just needs a suicide sunroof to finish it off. :lol: Gavin

It'll retard the TIMING when it detects knock. The engine should slow down. I wouldn't point a finger at the knock sensor before doing all the other usual suspects. ECU pipe, Lambda probe, engine earths. Gavin EDIT Run with it disconnected see what happens

The discs won't fit. You can do it with G60 carriers and 16V calipers but the pads will be too thick. You can take some off the pads though. I don't think the lines are any longer. Gavin

MK3 16v?

It is a very tidy car, with no miles on it either.. :)

Stick the duff wheel on the back. See if the wobble goes. Doing that conversion??

Check the O ring on the cap. It will hiss and stuff as it warms up and cools down which is normal. If it spits coolant there is gonna be summat up with it. Gavin

Tom go and see the lady with the Golf and borrow her header tank. Only take you a few minutes to swap them over. Gavin

I doubt it's rounded mate, it'll be full of muck. You can't adjust it with the engine running cos the weight of the allen key affects the plate movement and you may also bend the arm the plate is on. More often than not it stalls anyway. You can probably strip the metering head if you are confident. And clean out the bolt and try again If you have a long enough allen key, giving it a calibrate shove usually gets it in far enough to do the adjusting. Just don't go mad. Gavin

I have heard lots of people hold doors open with them. :mrgreen: Kev H will tell you to buy a std VW one. Plenty of other which exhust threads to go through Neil. Here for example http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... ht=exhaust Gavin

Must nip into BA in the morning and restock that shelf. :mrgreen:

Stan when I get my Bentley back from Gibber you can borrow it for a while. Load up the ETKA and you cna see the linkages yourself. Just down by the side of your battery Gavin

3mm allen key, down between the rubber elbow and metering head. anti clockwise to weaken.

Stanley knife and cut along the length of the pipe, carefully. Jubille clips are ok for the fuel line. Gavin

Tell him to take the pipes of either side of the turbo and have shuftie inside. A boroscope might be a good idea? If it is donald though, I reckon it'll be obvious. The bearing susually go in them from what I have seen at Awesome. The turbine can't spin so you get no boost. It might have lost all the blades off the impeller or turbine. Although I am sure you would hear that floating about!!!! l It would bve worth having the ECU read with VAG-COM. Not sure if anyone near by has it? Ipswich may be the closest place, there is a thread about VAG-COM holders. IMO with modern dubs, you gotta check what the ECU says is wrong before replacing bits. Another place he might try is Vince at Scole Engineering in Diss. Dave G and I both rate him. He does some nice work and doesn't shout about it. Gavin
