Its a nice easy job mate and if yours has done it as long as mine then its ace once its fixed haha If you look underneath the dash the electrics just unclip from the motor , then the motor just twists out clock wise, then the actual motor pulls out then theres three little rubber tabs to push in just to let the motor free

Another quik fix done the other day , my heater blower was making some crazy squeeling and squeeking noises when going left or basically constantly on setting 1 So took the motor out and split it from its motor housing (just pulls out ) and gave it a blow out with the compressor and then gave it a good oil with some chain lubricant , i didnt want to use dw40 as it seems to thin to oil it properly Anyway its all back in now and its silent and smooth again wich is more than satisfying lol ---------- Post added at 8:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 7:56 PM ---------- Also ran the other new door speaker cable through to the head unit while i was faffing about under that side before the trims go back in

Welcome back any pics of the cars , love the old jetta's

Cheers glosterox , i know this sounds daft but im guessing that the mk2 mount fits and is the same as a corrado ? And not that you have a mk2 golf haha !

Ill have a look david i was more after a parts list more than anything but ill have a look and see whats what with it The engine mounts are fine there from renshaws group buy so there all new reall the only one i didnt replace is the gearbox mount , i priced one of those up from the dealers and im sure it was around the 80 pound mark for a single bush / mount

That delorian does look horrific haha the corrados very nice tho love the recaros if i had the money for seats id love a set but in cloth

Ahh well thats made life a bit easier then i was waiting for the dealear oarts or no parts answer coming in Well pages do the febi parts and my mate works at euro car parts and they do lemforder parts wich is even better , hopefully they will come with a bit of discount lol Wat things are going to need changing up to now iv asked for prices on Front ball joints Track rod ends Anti roll bar bushes Top mounts Full wish bone bush set Rear beam bushes And iv asked for wheel bearings but mine ate fine so in not really in a hurry to do those

Im hopefully going to be replacing some suspension components along with my new coilovers and remember when i got my car done at dg autotech dave who mapped my car said that anything febi was usually a good part to use I also have a friend at ECP who says lenforder are good aswell Does anyone have any prefrences or used parts before I know people are going to say use dealer parts but i just cant justify them Also what would your tipical suspension and steering overhaul consist of Cheers in advance

Haha cheers mate i always find it helps get stuff done otherwise i just got to the garage and get a wash mit and bucket and think ahh ill wash it today lol Cheers for the offer of the gasket but iv already ordered one that got delivered a few weeks ago i just have to find it lol as christmas kind of lost it Do you know much about coilovers dave im crap to say the least lol iv asked the suspension discussion thread but theres not been much of a response , im going to order the weitec hicon gt and just wanted a bit of reassurance i think lol Hows urs goin now mate everything ok seen you the other day again thought you had new wheels now ---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ---------- Haha cheers mate i always find it helps get stuff done otherwise i just got to the garage and get a wash mit and bucket and think ahh ill wash it today lol Cheers for the offer of the gasket but iv already ordered one that got delivered a few weeks ago i just have to find it lol as christmas kind of lost it Do you know much about coilovers dave im crap to say the least lol iv asked the suspension discussion thread but theres not been much of a response , im going to order the weitec hicon gt and just wanted a bit of reassurance i think lol Hows urs goin now mate everything ok seen you the other day again thought you had new wheels now ---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ---------- Haha iv also just realised this " its not perfect .... But brand new and unused " how the hell do you work that out haha

Cheers vwvw , i think so mate but iv been driving round with no interior for a couple of months so it deffo sounded alot quieter , but i would say it definatly works and its alot cheaper than heavy sound deadning and the carpets feel nice and spongy Got home from work today and had it out with the dash clocks as the panel on the left that reads the mpg and oil temp and stuff had blown a bulb so took those out and got a new bulb from halfords Also took some tracings of the filter paper stuff that makes the clocks green so i can have a play with some different colours Ill post some pics of the right bulb for anyone reading as i had to drive to halfords with no clocks and had to slow right down for a few cameras Also ran the new better quality speaker cable through the back of the dash while the clocks was out so its there for when it comes to connecting them up Hopefully ill keep plodding on with stuff now so more updated tomorrow ---------- Post added at 9:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:17 PM ---------- Also thought id better put in that the oil was changed and the car serviced at 106500 miles with synta silver And also while i was at it i was having some running issues at the time so went about sorting that , ended up being a brittle pipe running from just under the inlet manifold to the manifold its self so changed that to a bit of fresh red new pipe and while there also Raised the throttle dampner a tad Cleaned the maf with switch cleaner stuff Cleaned the throttle body Cleaned all the ht leads Sprayed the igtition caps with wd40 Took the coil pack of , dryed and then sealed a small crack on the corner of the pack Took the bmc apart and cleaned that out and the filter Checked all the pipes for any vacume leaks Wire wooled the batter terminals and copper greased them Checked all the wires for cracks and frayed wires bit was all ok Cleaned all sensors and plugs with switch cleaner And finally took off all the engine plastics and cleaned those and sprayed the engine cover so its nice and clean again Thats all for now lol

Good look to your fingers haha should look great wen there done tho mate hate polishing wheels but they are worth it when there done

Iv now been in touch with venom motor sport and the guys there have said that kw , , weitec and ap are all made in the same factory with the same parts Now he said that the v1 is the same as the hicon gt and the hicon gt is the same as the ap ones , for some reason id rather not have the ap but iv never driven anything with them so cant really judge , im swaying towards the weitec now aswell but the only thing thats stopping me there is the warrenty on them the difference between the v1 / weitec and the ap is 12 months for the first two and 24 months for the ap Has anyone else had this dilemma or something similar , im gonna order these very soon and dont want to make a mistake and be gutted for ages about it as money like this for my car doesent come round all that often lol

Think there v max im sure jom are blue bud

So its been ages since i updated this and i havent done alot really so its time to get motivated The car took a turn and threw a big paddy , well actuall lots of little paddys all in one month so The heater controlls broke on directional The door seals let go and let a ton of water in soaked the sound deadning so out came the interior Headlight switch went faulty My front speakers decided not to work any more The heater blower has started squeeling like a pig The dash illumination , a bulb has gone so the clocks need to come out I fitted a wiring kit and amp but the amo blew up so thats fooked I kind of gave up on the run in to christmas but iv found the love and i wrote a to do list wich seems to be the only way i can actually concentrate on getting things done So up to now iv took all the old sound deadning out and replaced it with some fresh underlay Then fitted some thick carpet on top of that to keep some noise out and to pad it out Then gave the carpets a good clean and hoover and got them back in and fitted all but the undertrays back in as i still need to fix the heater blower Iv also fitted some hertz two way components and ran some fresh good quality cable through the doors Fitted the tweaters in the door triangles to keep the sound good Iv also removed all the wiring kit and amp now as it just wasnt me and every time i opened the boot i just thought that looks wrong Iv put a new head unit in aswell this one I also sound deadend the doors with skinz sound deadning I think thats about it for now but hopefully going to be getting things done a bit quiker with my new found motivation and ill hopefully be ordering some decent coilovers soon aswell ---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ---------- Oh i also fitted some newer better condition door seals of the dragon green break that was recently on here Fitted them with a non setting gloop kinda stuff a bit like tiger seal wich will hopefully keep the water out ---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ---------- And finally my corrado to do list wich im still adding to lol wish me and the car luck

I usually attend elsecar was rubbish weather last year tho so the big field car park was shut unlike the year before wer it was full , we all did the show then had some grub sat round the cars in the boiling sun Harewood house i usually attend aswell but its more of a walk round on a sunday for me , see the cars and go again but it is a good event with all the stands and stuff Ill be doing elsecar again this year i always find its a good turn out

I am swaying towards the v1s but im still not sure , wat the difference between the v1basic and the v1 is it just the inox finish , wats your thoughts on running them lower to get a softer ride i always thought the higher the better in terms of comfort as the spring is less stressed so must be less harsh on the rebound when its compressed

Anyone help with the above , would be a great help

I was told that fitting them higher up would give you a better sound as the tweeter sound isnt getting lost in the footwell in to your leg Either way mine fit behind the door card easily

Where are you all fitting your speakers , iv put mine behing the doorcard , no wires to hide no on show crossovers making it look messy Iv fitted mine in the small triangles in the corner of the windows

I could do with some help with coilovers if anyone can give me some advice , im currently running jom crappy coilovers , tbh there not that bad but id like something a little better so i know the cars running something a little decent So iv been looking at various different makes but cant decide whats best to go for for the following different reasons Weitek hicon gt , £416 , im not sure weather these are going to be crashy or not but the price range is good for me Avo gtz £627 these look good to me and have adjustable dampning bit im not sure if id be able to set them right and also these are at the top of my budget Apex rdx £350 , not really heard of alot of people fitting these but they look ok and the price is good , also i didnt think apex was a bad make Kw v1 basic £519 , these are looking good but im unsure whats different to the normal v1 exept the price Im open to all other suggestions but id like coilover over fixed height as i like to fanny about getting it sat right Also im not to bothered about it being a bit harsh , im only 25 and my back hasnt gone yet but obvs i dont want it to be like riding over rocks all the time Any help would be greatly apreciated as there doesent seem to be much new information on coilovers and the topic seems to have turned to fixed dampning Cheers Matt
