    overrun cut off valve i think

    when you undo the 15mm nut on the tensioner it will lose tension the charger drive belt will go slack when you remove the mini shock absorber thingy...theres a special tool to remove it , but i just go with a thick and lean on it ...some people make a tool from a sealant gun?

    you can wriggle the cam belt tesioner out when the belt is slack the rollers...remove the charger drive belt and theyre held on with 6mm hex key bolts iirc

    yeah good call on the cam belt tensioner to check any of those you would need to remove them and spin them to listen/feel ...they should spin smoothly and quietly none of them are particulaly hard to change *edit i guess you could spray wd40 or similar onto each one to see if changes the tone, but id sooner have em off to check by hand

    theres 2 plastic rollers with bearings in ...they might have dried out ? non genuine belts are noisey ..get a vw one has the charger been looked at latley...might be a idea to have it looked at

    theres sposed to be a mesh in the breather pipe to help seperate the vapor...that might be mising most 16v get a little oil in the airbox between services...if its a little dont worry if its loads fit a catch tank so the pipe doesnt go to the airbox any more

    blown head gasket

    steveo29 replied to slant's topic in Engine Bay

    wouldnt it be a wise upgrade to a metal gasket even if it is a early one?

    steveo29 replied to uktarget's topic in Engine Bay

    big end number 1 &2 were worn on mine at about 95k...put new ones in and its all good
  12. steveo29
    i had some new vag bearings for mine and they had the oil hole iirc

    you want to trace those hoses right back to where they fit the inlet mani and blank them there...that way remove the chance of vac leaks on those hoses run the tank vent into the lower airbox
  14. steveo29
    its probably the down pipe heat shield....best get someone to put a tack weld on it to hold it in place
  15. steveo29
    the stat is where the lower hose goes on the water pump....you can get a haynes for a mk2 gti, its got alot in common with a 8v gti, or bently do a proper one
  16. steveo29
    if it boiled up theres a good chance of head gasket damage didnt the alterantor give any warning noises?
  17. steveo29
