update: just cut the bump stops in half, we now have some travel and a more comfortable ride!! however, I'm still hitting the bump stops! lol
-
I put some of this http://www.directcarparts.co.uk/product/70/xpf500/carlube-power-steering-fluid-500ml-bottle.html (similar, may not be exact) in my car, said it was suitable for all cars, it completely ****ED my power steering pump and had to replace it, it was too thick compared to the VW green stuff. just a heads up.
-
Wouldn't the later one have three slots in the bottom for the grille rather than the two that the older one had?
-
Ah, well I suppose I will have to deal with the terrible ride then!
And cheers mate =]
-
Those coilovers I expect, and this isnt a 100mm drop is it?
-
well I have just gone out and lowered them some more, figured I may as well as they're hard as nails anyway.they haven't gone much lower, and I just looked at an old set of the same kind, and they have no bump stops!! and were working fine on my old golf before I took them off. Should I remove them? They're about 3 inches long...
-
My C has some of the bargain coilovers on it, (saving for some decent ones)
however for the time being, I have to deal with the sh*tty ones.
my problem is that no matter how high or low I have the coilovers wound it has no suspension, the car raises and lowers but feels like its resting on the bump stops =/.
What is the problem?
Cheers in advance for the advise.
-
that's the one I have in my G60. shame it never gets above 1bar though!
-
you need to open the injectors to clean them properly, also replacing the tiny filters in them is helpful!
-
My girlfriends dad does them, got all the kit, did my G60 ones for me.
he has VR injectors and the can be cleaned and serviced. cant really remember prices as i got them done for free, but its worth a call!
-
It makes me sad reading your thread all the time. I wish I had the skills and time to make my G60 half as good as yours!
Keep up the good work mate!
-
Sorry for the thread resurrection! But did you/anyne ever find out the source of the problem? I wasn't worried till I stumbled across this, just assumed it was air traveling over the throttle body whistling
Cheers

iirc the valeo ones are the ones they have as standard, so I would assume same product, just not ridiculous mark up?
cheers guys

cut to the chase, gave it the taste test, its coolant :bonk:
where can I get a decent heater matrix from?
also, in the meantime can I put the two hoses, that go into the matrix, together?
-
haha ok,
thanks but id rather find a tornado original one, to save the hassle of respraying!
cheers though!
-
well its done the whole windscreen a few times now, and its clean. what sort of residue? sticky or just a light film?
-
Woah, had to read that a few times, I thought you said he got hit by a shotgun?! haha!
need drivers door pass wing and front slam panel, all in pretty nice condition, if you could get some info would be great cheers!
-
hmm, i'll have a look! I really don't want it to be the matrix as that was a pain in the ass!
cheers
-
pah, cant find any tornado red ones!
cheers anyway mate, might be back when I remember what bits are falling apart!
-
colour?
-
When my heaters turned on and the cars up to temp I get steam coming out of the vents,
I immediately thought heater matrix, but, it doesn't smell sweet, or like coolant at all, just musky, I changed my heater matrix about 4 months ago.
I washed it the other day and got a fair bit of water down the windscreen and into the ducts around the bottom.
Is there anything else it could be?
cheers
-
your just down the road from me! I'll pm you.

Looking for a drivers door, slam panel and passenger wing.

Interested in the airbox, is it still available and does it come with the bands that hold it in place?
cheers

That kinda does make me feel better! haha! Also tells me to save for KW's not Weitecs.
Its not so much the uncomfortable ride that bothers me, my 21 year old spine is still good for a few years, its the rattles and squeaks that come with it!
Driving me crazy trying to find them!
