The caps go in number order but making sure the audi/vw logo is on the right hand side of the caps, otherwise the cams wont turn. Sean

Wow, top bloke PM sent, cheers mate. Sean

It would be the cambelt pulley which hs sheared the lug, i can time it via the dots on the cams and so on. does the lug do anything other than for timing??? Aide, may have to take the pulley and cam when i get paid at the end of the month. Sean

Depending on the price. Is it a major problem not too have that woodruff key. Regard Sean

Just putting the car back together and the locating lug on the cam pulley isnt there, is this a major problem or can i use the pully, if not does anyone have a pulley i can buy. Kindest Regards Sean

sorry didnt relise it was in every gear, then it could well be the syncro. Sorry dude Sean.

could it not be the slave cylinder???. Sean

Juts a thought, but it couldnt be that the brake material has come away from the backing plate, so when you going backwards its tugging on the loose brake. Like i said just a thought as this has happened to me before!! Sean

Goto your local motor factors for a recon one, price wise im not sure though, very easy to do, the starter is held in by two bolts, and some electrical connectors. Sean

Hello, Just got a quote of £251.00 for a skim valve re-cut and a good clean and £391.00 for the above and valve guide supply and replace. the guy on the phone said that the guides will need replacing, as all VW suffer with serious wear on exhaust guide. Is this true and is that a good quote, the reason for doubt is that i cant really afford it :( where would you take your head (lol). Sean

no probs Not really but its needs to be spot on for the bolt to go through, the bit with the cut i assume is for the bolt, if so get a mate to wiggle the column while you try pushing the bolt through. Its an idea, not sure if it helps. sean

Put your jack underneath the balljoint and jack the suspension up to put pressure on the balljoint pin(or till it start lifting car), you then should be able to do the nut up. Sean

were is the best place to get the head skimmed and cleaned, or if you know of anyone selling a head already done and flowed would be great. Cheers Sean

done gonna get the head skimmed wheres the best place im in bedfordshire. cheers

Just about to remove the head and had a quick though, will i need to get the head skimmed ??. Sean

Hi guys, first Member thread so bare with me. Right, i bought my valver about 5 (maybe more) months ago, i had to have her relayed home vai the AA. The problem was that she wouldnt rev past 2K rpm, after a couple of day playing around, it turned out to be the micro-switch on the TB. Then i drove her, amazing is all i can say, loved every minute. The car had her ups and downs- Clutch cylinder went on christmas day, p/s window fell out of the runner, annoying headlight problem, idle problem, the usaul :nuts: . Now as the MOT and tax has run out i decided to repair a few more problems .oil leak .over heating problem .fuel pump .suspension arm. .arb bushes .timing belt .and a gnereal clean and restore Below are a few pics of what ive been upto the last couple of days................... Started by removing headlights and grille EASY Then removed rad to find evil rust :mad2: Same rust :mad2: then remove bumper and started removing slam panel Slam panel removed And then started taking more apart Inlet manifolds, throttle body, starter motor, air box, and a few more things There is going to be more pictures as i go along. Need to get the head of to have a little look as ive gone this far. What do you all think :confused4:

just looked on ETKA KR Injector valve 026 133 551 Sean

the C is more inportant :grin:

No problem, i think that switch/sensor tells the fan to cut out when the air inside the engine bay cools down, could be wrong but im sure its that. i got mine from my local motor factors for about £5.00, works a treat. Sean

Does your car have the Temp sensor by the rocker cover on the left, if so could be that. I not long had the same problem, replaced this and was AO.K Sean

i was going to keep the main part there put remove the pump it self. Just a thought to lessen the strain to the main pump Sean
