He's asking the differences between the 1.8 and 2.0 valvers.

Wurth Time-Sert sparkplug kit. Don't know if anyone knows of this kit but I've just used it today on my wife's X-reg 1.2 16v corsa :pukeright: to reinstate the stripped sparkplug threads in the block. 8) 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf16092009468.jpg[/attachment:3felps6y]passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf16092009466.jpg[/attachment:3felps6y]climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf16092009467.jpg[/attachment:3felps6y]16092009471.jpg[/attachment:3felps6y] It consists of a cutter that uses what's left of the old threads as a guide to cut new ones, a seat cutter slots over this to ensure everything is square and then a copper thread insert is screwed in and expanded with a 3rd tool to give you a compression-proof seal. :clap: A Big Mega Thanks to Nick at Youngs Garage, Gasoline Alley, Wrotham, Kent, TN15 7RR who lent me the kit. He's a top bloke and although he was way too busy with VWs and Audis...(..and it's a vauxhall!!) he was still able to save us an expensive head off bill (prob £400??) that could have otherwise resulted had it gone to a garage, :salute: :salute: :salute: Just need the coil to turn up in the post, bang in the new plugs and I can see if it's totally fixed. :lol: :lol:

Parked next to a red K plate G60 at Larkfield Tesco (Kent, near M20 junc5) carpark yesterday lowered & wearing what looked like Borbet As with Kerscher centres :shrug: (I'm not a wheel whore!!) :lol:

My '90 1.8 valver has 187,000 on it and it's fine 8) :lol:

Search is your friend! Try HERE the legalities or not are disgussed and there is a legal linky.

Worn bore? Piston rings? Valve guides? spark plugs.jpg[/attachment:3b7cseud]

It can't be that important then :lol: :lol: :lol: :ignore:

155k is cock all!

Just lever them out with a small flat screwdriver. If they break you should be able to get them from the stealers fairly cheaply.

Try it and see. The online blurb sounds like potential BS though IMHO.

The door step grey plastic trim should have about five white clips that pop into holes in the metal 'step'. If your cables are along the top of this step you'll not fit the trim! By ..it sounds like the plastic clips have popped out of the middle of the grey trim leaving just the square heads showing. If you pull these heads out you'll find all the white clips are the same. They just need sliding back onto the grey trim, lining up with the holes in the floor and clipping home. Pics would help explain your problems if this hasn't helped!!!!!

Do you mean you can't clip it in? Try running it through the OEM loom clips or tight under the loom to avoid fouling the trim, also check the trim clips aren't bent/damaged. Not sure how to fix this unless you cut the console trim. Personally I ran the remote and RCA over the the passenger side roof line by popping off the A, B and C pillars to the boot. It's not as bad a job as you might think!! Hope this helps :wave:
-
Unless it's 'big bore' (2.5" or more) it'll be 2.25" as standard surely??

A new switch or barrel shouldn't be toooooo much..... :(

short changed there, really should be a bearing in there somewhere :scratch: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

My wife has had more use of our RAC membership than me in the last 9 years and all the cars she's had were newer than my 19 year old C 8) , especially the '00/'01 Corsa :pukeright: she has right now. I have needed two tows though, one off the motorway (left the oil cap on the rocker cover, D'oh!) and one to Stealth from Oxford after losing 5th gear!! Piece of mind is a great thing to have, especially for my wife while I was abroad with the RAF on Ops and Dets 8)

Same with valvers - packet to fitted....easy! 8)

I personally HATE the great big pointless headlamp thing that's going on these days, pug fronts are hideous and as said before it's too much like a TT so it's sh1te. :pukeright:
-
Quite possible, someone-else put it on the corrado spotting thread 1 minute after ours :lol: :lol:
-
That's because they're truely horrible sh1te. It was only Scene-points that made them so 'cool' on modded cars once upon a time :camp:

I saw dukest at about 11pm yesterday in Gatwick baggage reclaim but he wasn't in his VR!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
