Great another part gone . A set came up about a year ago on here . They were sold within five minuets !.

May be worth checking with Heritage Rog. There are two types . One with corrado script for earlier cars and one without which I believe should be on yours . They may be able to source a set from Germany ?.

Looks like I have sorted it now . Fingers crossed . I managed to remove the screws , clean it all up , put a silicone seal underneath and put it back on the car .The captive nuts stayed put , so I was lucky . I'm going to leave it for a day before testing it for leaks . The rubber was in excellent condition Chris , so I should be ok for parts mate , thank you . Rob

Thanks for the offering of the bolts Rog , that's very kind of you . You just know they are going to break . There is no way of stopping the leak , without removing that part though .

Morning all . I've just removed my spoiler as I have water leaking into the boot . I can see the water coming in from where the plastic triangle part fits to the body on the inside. Two questions . I'm well aware of the captive nuts breaking when you remove the two screws from the top . If they do go can I glue them back when refitting ?.also if I can no longer get the seal that fits on the top shall I put some sealant under it before refitting it back in place . I can't see any other way of sorting the leak . Rob .

Have you replaced the sender to the ECU ? . The sender had gone on my car . There was no fast idle on start up . When it was tested it was reading 74 d , all the time , therefore sending the wrong signal . As above check for splits in the hoses .

Great work going on here , well done . As Mic says a dry space to work is the key . Im desperate to start mine . Keep up the good work .

Happy birthday old boy .

If you are a contortionist you can do it with the dash in . It's not easy though . The best way is to set aside a weekend . Remove the dash and old matrix , on Saturday , make a start Friday night if you want , get a head start .Then refit the dash and other parts on Sunday .

Wish I had the dough for these Rog . Would go well with my superchip and pack A head .

Any chance you have the underside heat shields to Chris ?

Under side heat shields please . Price to post . Thank you .

Edit . Yeah my bearings are Meyle .

I bought the Sterex parts for mine . From Vedubmachine . Also German parts . I've always thought as long as it's made in Germany it should be good quality . They also sell oem parts . I ordered a big batch of stuff a few months ago and most of it had VW Audi stamp on it .

It took me ages to find one too . Goldust .

Well said . Its about time these cars are recognised for what they are . Like the hampster said , when VW built this car they new what they were doing . It is true , i know its down to the seller , but these cars do sell way to cheap .

Rocking horse poo springs to mind lol . They break easily and are quite hard to find . Give Chris (lilfuzzer) a pm , or post on his breaking thread , he may well have one for you ,

Welcome along to the forum . I use photobucket for posting pics . Or use the search on here and it will tell you other ways .

Not too bad Rog . Could have been worse . Nasty 6 points though .

Thanks Chris .

Hi Chris , forgot to ask you , do you have a fuse box cover , and clips , also the tray that sits next to it ? .

I think he just liked playing , I'm a big boy manager , Rog . I'm still mad ! .

Nice one thanks .

Do you have the fuse box cover , with clips please .

I think this is what happened to me . I've either payed for someone else's meal or ts been rung in wrong . .
