Yes it was me on the ccgb page . Thought I’d put it up here too. Great info thank you.

Morning everyone. I will be reading up on this at the weekend. Has anyone on here had this treatment to their car . You thoughts and any input would be appreciated. Rob

Interesting about the battery. Mine is a 550 cca . I hope you get the miss fire sorted Jim . Once I’ve sorted my thermostat housing out , I will be trying to source my poor idle problems. I tried the Maf, but the engine started to stutter, so it’s not that.
-
Yes please . Side piece and the two bolts Chris . Will sort out tonight . Thanks.

Bump for The Fuzzer.

How could I forget Chris lol . You have the bits I need then . How much with pnp mate ?.
-
Thanks Si . Much appreciated , if there’s not a decent second hand set I will order it .
-
Yes that’s the one Si .

The one above the dizzy if anyone has one please. I have never removed this part, I tried at the weekend as it would have been easier to snap the metal clasp on the dizzy cap back on . But not only did I not have a star bit big enough the bolts look knackered, I don’t think they will come out. So the plan is to cut the plastic so I can get to the head of the bolts. Hence I will need both the two bolts and the plastic please . Great condition please. Kind regards Rob

What size are the heads ?. Surely there must be something that’s not held in place ?.
-
Welcome along .Another 10 year owner here too . As said the MK4 golf upgrade is worth doing .
-
On page 6 .
-
Just checked, no it’s not .
-
Someone said yesterday they used it ?, maybe it’s up and running now .
-
Nice spot .
-
As said , it is a very desirable extra. They finish off the interior nicely. But they are a lot of dough . I will stick with my cassette holder, that does hold cassettes as I have a cassette player in my car .

I’ve never seen a corrado rust on this part of the body personally. I’m not saying it’s not a weak point , but having had to sort out my car and from what I’ve seen on others , it’s usually inside the fuel cap , rear window, front screen. Post a pic up of the area .
-
Yes it is . Obviously the screen is bonded so no water can get in the boot , but it does sit under the seal.

Thanks Delfinis . I didn’t want to remove a good set , although faded and have to play around fitting another set . If I do purchase another set I will be treating them from day one . I realise it’s a lot to ask of a piece of plastic that sits outside in all weathers but the new rear caps I bought are looking poor too .
-
Apologies if it’s been asked already. But are the karmanski parts a good fit?. I haven’t been following the two different types of manafacture as I purchased what I believe to be the last set from heritage a few years back . Unfortunately being purchased around 4/5 years ago they have faded though the rubber underside looks ok . Even Gtechniq won’t bring them up black now . I was lucky to be able to do karmanski a favour last year and he sent me a set of trims for helping him out .
-
I guess I was lucky with mine then . Mine are on 155k . I suppose the inside bore can get worn ?. It’s a lot of dough for a new pair .
-
Yep . Definitely replace both . I can’t remember where I got mine, without going through the receipts. Either Heritage or on Ebay , but they were more expensive than the ones in your pic .
-
Can you not get a second hand pair and refurb them ?.
-
It’s a shame TPS are trade only now . My local centre used to ignore it and still serve non trade to regulars . Not anymore.
-
Sorry bud , the only one I have is broken too, must have been chucked in my box by mistake. Do you not have a mechanic that uses TPS ?, or order from VW .
