    OBD 1&2 Inlet Manifolds are different.

     

    Exhaust manifolds are the same.

    So your Lambda should fit fine! It's OBD1 right?

     

    If not you will have problems as the lambda sensors have different electrical plugs between OBD 1&2.

    OBD 1 plug has squarish corners.

    OBD 2 plug has rounded connector.

    I've used OBD2 lambda on my OBD1 car and just swapped the connector over.

    Ignore that, I miss read your first post!

    I thought the second hole was for another lamdba sensor for an afr gauge.

    From memory my plug blank was 15mm long on the the treads.

     

    How bout;

    Hi Jim, just in the process of rebuilding the head on mine.

    To take the head off took 5 hours including plenty of tea breaks.

    For the head bolts you will need a 12mm 12 point spline (triple square bit).

    You will need 2 people for undoing the cam sprocket bolts (if you need to remove the cams).

    The head can be removed with the exhaust manifold in place, you may want to separate the downpipe?

     

    If you decide to rebuild the head, here's a list of parts I've sourced that may be useful (including postage);

    by "will not fit...". Do you mean it won't go on pointing the right way? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how much for each cap?

    Hi Dave, the oil cap will fit, the coolant cap will fit a mk4 expansion tank but upside down in my fitted orientation. I don't think it will fit a corrado vr6 expansion tank at all.

    I've got both on my corrado VR6, but mine are off an Audi R8.

     

    Show us your caps!

    Needed a new coolant cap for the mk4 golf expansion tank.

    Seemed like a good time to inject some bling into the engine bay.

    Just need to make the coolant cap fit upside down now (will not fit the corrado expansion tank).
