    50mm inlet will bolt on...gives a little more top end at the expense of some end grunt the ebay manifolds only fit lhd cars properly

    cant see any point in getting anyone to map it with this fault , it doesnt sound like its the chip (s) youve tried and you dont want a new chip to mask up other faults with the car be daft to have it mapped with a ropey exh too...although im sure a leaky zaust aint causing those problems

    see if someone local has a timing light with advance control you can dial in 6 degs (or whatever you fancy) and use the tdc marks to time it
  9. steveo29
    yah undo that red black and set the timing & idle up

    nah mine has the u bend ..its on a golf the block is damp under the dizzy and up to the gearbox, no biggie at the minute but if i can nip up a jubille or something i will
  11. steveo29
    front of the engine block seems to getting damp with oil...i recon its coming from the charger oil return how does this fit to the block?
  12. steveo29
    think id have the belt off and start again if you cant find the fltwheel marks use the bottom pulley and get that lined up then check to see if you can see the flywheel mark
  13. steveo29
    grab the track rod end and wrestle it back n forth /up n down ..see if you can detect and play in it or clicking knocking sounds not sure if they did anything else...might be worth doing a spanner check in that area make sure everthing that matters is still tight

    heard a few newman quality issues latley...various things such as the keyway in the wrong place , chunks missing off the lobes and some snapping id go shrick or keep the oem

    ive tried doing a few motor bike springs...nothing seems to last or look right, its a right bugger to paint a spring lol then i had some powder coated...good as new and last forever
  16. steveo29
    didnt know that ...good point
  17. steveo29
    what ends did you use? did you get a nice seal to the orig plastic lines?
  18. steveo29
    noticed the fuel hoses at either end of the fuel rail are a tad ropey im thinking about getting some braided injection hose and some rubber finisher ends to do a tidy job...any reasons why i shouldnt use braided i dont recall seeing much about at shows etc and am i likley to struggle to a get a proper seal on the orig plastic lines :hitler:

    not sure how many miles...was at least 5 yrs ago and it still runs lol maybe 20 k odd?
  20. steveo29
    ive re used my bolts..and know several people that have as well no probs, lots of talk on vwvortex about it they should tap out with the engine in, and i guess its not a bad idea to replace them anyway
  21. steveo29
    right well heres some pics from me it seems to match up well to what yan says, small screwdriver between 2 dots...touches the rocker cover pointer exactly rocker off...straight edge on the gasket lines up very nicley bare head...doesnt line up at all and moving it one tooth still wouldnt line up??? i cant really understand how darren is suggesting it should be ..any chance of a pic darren?
  22. steveo29
    no need to take the crank out....can do the big ends with the sump and oil pump off the big end bolts can be re used once
  23. steveo29
    ive read if you fit the arp bolt set you need to get the rods checked/machined as the increased torque makes em not round i bought vag ones...didnt wana risk dodgy unknown parts
  24. steveo29
    too many varibles to say set it to xx degs....just beacuse mine runs fine at xx degs yours might not try it anywhere between 5 -8 degs and see how things are

    Gear shifter

    steveo29 replied to stevw1's topic in Drivetrain

    give the shear bolts a sharp tap with a chisel and hammer so that the hammer blow bashes it anticlockwise...they come undone easy enough after a few taps replace with normal bolts
