yeah that seems likley tbh the airbox tray is covered. is this a major problem or can this be resolved quite easiley?

Major oil leak.! just gone out to the car and there a big oil patch just under the drivers side of the engine. popped the bonnet and everythin looks ok. lookin from underneath it looks to be commin from under the airbox. car is a 1.8l 16v any ideas where this could be commin from?

No help at all mate thanks though. i need the diagram of the loom for the stereo not the car.

IVe done the search and to no avail.

RIGHT heres the long story (its needed) Bought an old Beat 700 dvd player for the car. (goes well with the grey n black int.) took out the old stereo and hey presto the guy who fit the old had done a right ol job of the loom. oh well. the old stereo worked perfect. on connecting up my new osi leads the player came on straight away and hey presto just a quick change. (oh so i thought) on disconnecting these i helped the new player into place and proceeded to ease in :gag: when the wires where catching at the back the player wouldnt go all the way. so i thought to myself ill pull it out when i did the wires were pulled out of the socket on the back of the stereo (yellow,black,red n blue n black) so i dissconned the iso from the back of the stereo and i dont know where they are situated in the little plug that connects to the stereo. ive gid it a go in a few combinations and everytime i plug it in and connect it up the fuse blows. even the fuse on the stereo. have i buggered the unit? or do i just need to find out what pins they are for on the stereo and cut them in the right places or would it be better to try and get a new iso lead? does anyone out there have a beat 700? or would know of where to get a new lead? ebay is usless!! cheers for all ye who read. and thanks again steve. :clap:

no worries matey. just got a fresh batch of glass too.

Got another little beauty under my sleave too. on the early rado theres wires running to a junction box then to the lights and indicators and so forth. these sit under the airbox and after a while the wires will become worn and torn. this causes a short everytime you set off or rev the car. so if you find fuses blowing on set off. check the wires under the airbox and everyones a winner.

Update all fixed. the earth to the lights is on the inner wing. cleaned replaced and all back to normal.

OKie dokie anyone wanting there inlet manifold doin send it me and ill do it for free.

did my isv valvue the other day looks brand spank. no shine but bare metal. :norty:

Just checked out e bay and this is what i found. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-MK2-16v-K ... 29fc9c6d1c I can do the same with glass and lets just say itll look like this for less than half the price.

just blastin at min no coatin. by all means i can spray but the paint will be at a cost. not much though but yeah if anyone wants anythin doin by all means let me have it and itll be done as soon as i get it.

No powder coating for the min, just the blasting. ill do anything metal well of a reasonable size. need to be placed in a 1m x 1m machine. basically how this came about is...... as boredom strickined me one day i decided to strip my inlet manifold and give it a clean. then fired up an old blaster at work and hey presto. inlet looks brand new. shame about the rest. ill do anything cheap. within reason. so basically im charging for time and not blasting. plus its glass and not sand. get a smooth and really clean finish. If anyones interested get intouch. if not my engine bays having the 911.

sheffield matey

just wondering if anyone would be interested in having things sand blasted on the cheap.? small engine componants only. basically anything metal.

fuse still keeps blowin. anyone know where the earth is for it?

yeah ive checked and double checked anythin higher than a 10a when i set off all the indicators come on and stay on.

just wondered if anyone would have a clue as to why my rhs sidelight fuse keeps blowing? when the cars sttod and running the fuse is fine but as soon as i set off it blows/? is this due to a bad earth>? if so where is it? noticed the earth on my battery was off the terminal so ive put it back on but its really really dodgy im changing this tonight anyway but was just wondering if this would be the problem???

Update. just got back from work. and the car drove perfect to and from with no handbrake on, im not chancing it like but guys this aint happened in nearly a year. the right hand side light fuse keeps blowing on set off though. earth??/
