okay someone has these parts for sale http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/vw/GO/199 ... 1/1269009/ http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/vw/COR/1990/76/51/844230/ im looking for the shift selector to fit a 1991 g60 golf,2wd pg engine anyone know if either of those links are suitable for my car thanks

i know its a bit late now youve had the head refurbed...but wouldnt it have been better to source a unmachined head to rebuild?

i cant believe it need turning off when it rains...i want it set for all weather use !! thanks anyway

thats the trouble , i cant ajust mine so that im satisfied, its either set way too low and wont warn/alarm or if i kick it up a notch it falses in the rain

no lights on mine....it will chirp when in set up mode its a g4 c600

i brought a pc (porter cable) from the states , its ace you can read em about on these sites, megs call it a g100 http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/ http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/index.php http://autopia.org/forum/index.php? the general word is the battery one ok for wax on wax off, but no man enough to remove any defects like swirls etc...btw the megs one is a rebranded one, you can get for about £30

anyone have good expericance with clifford dual prox sensors? i originaly had it on the tunnel under the handbrake, then moved it under the sunroof winder panel in hopes of better coverage, thinking that the sensor must provide a cone shape "zone" and it would be better pointing down than up :? anyway..with it in the roof liner i find it too sensitive around the mirrors and no where else :x so , any suggestions for location...i was thinking behind the dash on the bulkhead facing into the car or on the tunnel right near the back seat

just make sure you turn it over by hand a good few turns and recheck the marks

if you really think theres shavings gone through the oil ways , then a strip down is the only sure to know, if you dont want to go that far id remove the sump/oil pan and clean that and the oil pick up, hopefully most of the bits will be there

http://www.dubforce.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1171&hl=charcoal the upper nipple is ecu, cap the lower one off on mine i have the mfa pipe running from a 90 deg elbow on the front of the inlet, then the boost gauge is t pieced off the mfa once inside the car should be another outlet to block on the tb as well...a slighly larger pipe

danr its the crank bolt that shears off...replace with DX bolt and washer veedubbed, the 8v g60 tensioner wheels are £20 i think from gsf....or you can prise the rubber seal out and grease em

thanks henny

mk4 calipers would sort your handbrake for good, theyre pretty cheap now

anyone know the proper idle set up procedure? thanks

http://www.dubforce.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4478 i had a 2.5 bar one...part number on that thread

if you think the starter sounds a bit flat..try getting some fatter earth and power leads for the batt/alt/starter...made a nice differance to mine probably worth adding a extra earth here n there too as what the factory is only just enough

cracked coolant flanges are common! its where the coolant pipe goes to the head..theres a black plastic flange thats held on with 2 bolts, new plastic ones are £10 ish (dont forget the o ring) or some older mk2 golfs has nice metal ones if you want to look in scrapy

£200 ish for a webber kit, the vw are unreliable

id say allow £500+ so that you can get g-werks to overhaul the charger and maybe the odd tickle here n there...it'l prob need the vac pipes checking and stuf like a blue temp sender etc then it should be just as good as any other vw

ecu relay?

heres a thread about it http://www.clubgti.com/forum/forum_post ... KW=carbon+

why dont you refill it , and run it up keeping an eye on whats what you should be able to get a better idea of whats wrong check if top and bottom hoses get hot, see i the fan comes on when it should etc...just keep an eye on the temp and shut it off before it gets really hot then report back with what you found...any luck its a fan switch/stat/rad cap

it could be...a thermostat, fan switch, water filler cap,headgasket etc# how have you checed the head gasket to see if its fine?

fit a new vag pump and stat while your in there are you sure the pump is gone? theres lots of things that can cause overheating

yeah its a 8v pump
