doesnt pep boys sell sockets ? sears can usually order stuff from another store if that helps...just looked in the sear catalog,they have several 9mm 12 point 3/8 dr...44301 $2.99 1/2 drive 44231 $3.99

dunno if a kr is identical to corrado engine wise..i went to use my 16v golf today,it wont idle . i checked the continuity of the isv and its fine..throttle switch is working ,and i cant find any power in the the 2 wires that go onto the isv...WHAT NOW? could it be the isv control box?any way to test it anyone have a spare?
-
as far as i know 9mm 12 point...sears should sell em...or they often come in socket sets..try wall mart or target

mines outside :( so i cant trickle charge it.....ive some more finding today i tested all 3 of our cars( the other 2 sit and start in all weather) all 3 had approx 12.4 accross the batt which i guess is about right for winter ..the bently says its 75% charged? i tested the polo for drain..0.03 with an analog clock and radio memory g60 golf..0.05/6 armed so by that if i can get rid of the amplifier drain mine is about right...so it makes me think is the 16v may just be harder on starts????i.e wont start on 11v where the others will? i cant think why :? it has a good recent vag starter(which the electrician checked) big fat 4 gauge cables replacing the std ones...all i can think of is maybe an extra earth from the starter mount bolt to the front cross member??

i know they were ac delco...a few months back they started coming through badged " go" or something...black with a green sticker i'll have a closer look..id heard elsewhere that theyre good un's..need to be for a shi**y vauxhall huh
-
yeah its better than jabba,crisper and more responsive..although mine needs a little fine tuning,its a great improvement
-
ive done the wires..your right the standard ones are poor..AND seems vauhall dont do the ac delco ones now, i work at a dealer :oops: and they have differant ones now
-
i just had a look...its a66ah on there now. are higher ah batterys bigger in size? i just want to know if my drain is normal? i dont want to waste money and time trying to fix something that aint broke http://uk.transportation.exide.com/index03.asp have a look at these maxximas..the cca is huge but then im not sure if the capacity is worded differant?
-
ok guys...its not a fault batt or alt..ive tried several on it inc new uns h100vw..you say 928 hrs to flatten it...is that 0volts?? i mean im assuming it would stuggle to start at 11 volts if at all ive sinse been at the amps..one of em is pulling 0.02 and gives a good spark when i touch the power wire on/off..i might replace that?..ive also slung the power cap,it never did alot anyway
-
i havebeen having my battery go flat if left for between 5-10 days i tested again with a amp meter on 10 amp setting between the neg post and wire here are my results...what do you think int light on 0.75 no int light but everything else conected 0.07 radio fuse pulled 0.05 alarm fuse pulled 0.04 alarm armed 0.07 disconect wire to amps and power cap 0.04 alarm armed with no amps/cap 0.05 so what do the reading sound like? to me it looks like i could half my prob by looking into the amp drain is 0.07 enough to drain the batt in around a week or so
-
what you can do is...unplug each wheel sensor,the fronts are on the turrets and the rears are under the back seat...test each one with a ohm meter they should all read the same you can also try to clean the sensor tip...some people claim a good blast with a jet washer does the trick..or white spirit on a rag i take it the fuse is ok? other than that its time to start replacing stuff
-
i dont fancy doing a clutch on a g60...looks like agro
-
first check to see if the brakes lock on a damp road..it could be a duff wheel sensor
-
spose it could be that...i think i'll leave it till it gets worse or slips
-
unbolt the inj...point it in a jam jar and crank the car,with a cold engine it should spary for a few seconds ONLY while the starter is working
-
i used a easybleed with dot 4...use a turkey baster to suck out what you can form the res,you dont need to drain it...then use the kit as per the instuctions i did furthest wheel first and so on i found it cheepest to but 5ltrs from ecp/gsf run about 2 ltrs though it to be sure..wait until it comes out clean...and keep some water handy incase of a spill...it strips paint!!
-
i was thinking of loosing the middle silencer..has anyone noticed any power increase at all..if so how much
-
yeah i agree...i use the mfa pipe under the dash...any vac pipe should do apart from the ecu one...so you can t piece at the rear of the inlet if you'd prefer
-
is the car new to you? they can feel a bit flat low down in the rev range! is the water and oil ok..any mayonaise in either? does it use water
-
standing in front the car..its at the right end of the rocker cover on a 16v..small clyindrical(sp) thing
-
checked...all good ,sensors are all the same ohms...cheers anyway :D
