vr6 idiling issues, any info greatly appreciated....
robrado974 replied to willyj1888's topic in Exterior
The first port of call will be to check all the vacuum hoses for splits. Then clean the isv and check the damper box . How old are the ignition leads ? Poor spark can cause problems . Check the dizzy cap for corrosion as well . Rob -
Saw this the other day , that and people trying to BASE jump (if that's what it's called ?). What a bunch of idiots , I'm surprised how little deaths there are from these people jumping over cars and stuff .

Ignition switch removal... A tale of success and failure
robrado974 replied to Roger Chatfield's topic in Interior
Your key will still fit , your only changing the ignition switch not the barrel . -
Great news Sean . Have a good read on replacing the sunroof , in the search . I would hate for you to scratch the new paint dude .
-
Congrats on your win . Beautiful car .
-
Some great pics taken . Your Rocco is something special ! Very nice Indeedy .

I'm not real a fan of cars that get altered to this degree , but I have to admit that looks nice and clean and clutter free .

A lot of the dust comes from using the airline to de dust the car before wiping . I remember Kip saying the same thing about his or his wife's car . It's a bit like dragging the Christmas tree out of the lounge ...... Two months later and your still finding needles , or prep dust in your case .
-
Good job it's coming out , the white dust gets everywhere , even though it's masked up . When I picked mine up all I had in it was the drivers seat .

Are you stripping out the interior Sean ?
-
Dont knock it ,till youve tried it James .

There will be quite a few without them , screen fitters tend to break them !, then bond the scuttle in place after . James , yes always best to ask . Sean there are two lips on them , one sits snug behind the bulkhead the other catches the lug of the scuttle . Not the best fitting VW ever came up with though . These are available from Heritage at £12.00 i think . Rob

All fitted now , thanks people . I didnt realise that the pin went through and made it a nice tight fit . I should have known this as the damp proofing plugs i fit at work, work the same way . Only had one which would not quite sit right ,no matter how i tried to get it to do so , it only sits a tiny bit higher though , i suppose i can live with that . Rob
-
No worries James . So from what i can see it does not actually clip on to the scuttle ,the lip of the clip just slids under the corresponding lip on the scuttle ?. Many thanks Leon .

Thanks for the help , here is the pic , just to check i have the right part . Rob

Hi all , I recently recieved my scuttle clips from VW Heritage . I can see where the old ones used to be as the round push fit stubs are left in the bulkhead . But when you offer the new ones up i cannot see how they are supposed to fit ?, yes they will sit in the bodywork ,but the thin pin on the other side clashes against the scuttle . There seems to be no hole for it ?. Any help is much appreciated . Rob

Just when you think , that there is nothing more worse and more ugly , than a Fiat Multipla.

Yep , will be best to source parts mate .I will be making a list of stuff I need this weekend , to fit in the winter time , so will be asking you a few questions ! Rob

Very nice . Oozing retro style . As Hasan said, this one was a childhood favourite . Bags of style a true Mercedes !
-
Ah , nice new bits . It does cost a big wack to keep the car as you want it doesn't it ! .

Dorset Volksfest 11-13th July
robrado974 replied to JEZR's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
I wonder if the set up will change for the show n shine ? . A few more sections for the water cooled would be nice . A little two much favouritism towards the golfs !! Rob -
Yes mate , I did it again and waited longer for the glue to set up a bit more . All stuck properly now .
-
Nice work done there Ian , still going strong at 224k , that's testament to the VR engine . The bay looks lovely and clean too .
