  1. low battery voltage will cause limp mode which makes them run rich
  2. dunk em in solvent /dgreaser and blast with a airhose does the trick
  3. how does it get mapped? replace the ecu chip with a differant one fault finding is the old fasioned way im affraid blue temp sender is right on the front of the cly head area in the coolant hose , hard to miss really, could also clean up the earths and check the battery voltage is decent when running
  4. they dont work on vag.com..car is too old tech i dont think the car uses the o2 sensor on start up , but the wires run from down near the rear engine mount up to the ecu , best use a multimeter on the continuity setting to check between the sensor and ecu plug id maybe consider a new vag blue temp sender ..that can cause starting troubles and make sure its vag not some ebay tat
  5. yep 65 without a/c , 90 with they both fit and are interchangeable
  6. or fit a loom and uprated bulbs ... loom is one of the best mods you can make to any older vw
  7. could be anything really plugs /leads/dizzy cap would be a good place to look ....been through any floods latley?
  8. just the square plate at the front and one nut , that should be tight enough to stop it sliding some batterys have provision for a clip on peice along the bottom ridge , vw's needs that bit for the clamp to grip on ...if you feel bodgey a couple of inches of rubber hose or a pencil jammed in there will work
  9. i went from a 2.5" jetex on my g60 back to a vag system , no power loss that i can tell at all , might be my thinking but i feel theres more mid range on it lovely and quiet and no booming at motorway speeds , well worth it to me to sound like a halfords chav and theyre mostly stainless anyway , should last many years
  10. might be a tamper proof cap on that box , pop it out and theres a screw head under it
  11. you ajust the co with the co pot ...its a small matchbox size black box in the boost tube
  12. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-BOSCH-1197311028-ALTERNATOR-VOLTAGE-REGULATOR-NEW-068903803-17202-101506-/270904188487?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f1325de47 gsf used to sell them ...the sites too hard to use now
  13. idealy you want splash /water proof and 4 relays so that if something fails you wont be left with no lights the ebay jobby will work but its a budget version , if you decide on those stick em in a latex glove to try to keep em dry
  14. another kr should be a direct swap theres always the choice to go to to a 9a or abf for a similar amount of work vw dealer will sell you the bolts
  15. dont pay £45 ...£10-15 is the right price
  16. its 2 screws to fit a new brush pack....a second hand one most likley needs the brushes doing anyway nearly always restores em to full charging
  17. you can unplug the o2 sensor while running to see if that cures anything multimeter the blue sensor and compare the readings to the manual , if it was a ebay one maybe consider a genuine vw one
  18. sns are popular , alot of folk use the red 30lb ford mustang injectors, you dont really need uprated inj for your spec im using a 40euro ebay.de chip ...happy with it
  19. id not upset the 3x ball joint bolts , seperate it at the pinch bolt and it wont effect the camber then if you do decided to move the 3 bolts , mark it carefully to ensure it goes back exactly right
  20. thats more like it cant we get our heads together and sort a kit out ourselves ?? anyone up for it i dont mind doing some leg work , but im not too clued up on elecs would suit mk1/2 golfs and polos as well...any ideas anyone
  21. relay x , but the ign switch sends a feed to it so might be that instead
  22. any ideas what box i feel they arent really up to being left bare , but never see any nice oem ways to make it look smart , mine are in a glove at the mo
  23. thats prob your dim dip needs unplugging how long u been running em and does the get used in all weathers
  24. for those that have headlight looms/relays do you run them bare in the engine bay , or have you made any attempt to waterproof them if you run yours bare..please say how long its been like it and if the car gets used year round
