I'm after repalcing the VW logo centre caps with BBS ones.

Thanks a lot for that Sean.

Got it here. http://engineersmate.com/products/DEEP-GROOVE-BALL-BEARINGS/6203-2RS-SKF/P192261?p=192261

You should be able to get bearings from your local bearing factors... Most big towns have one on their industrial estate. Different application but I bought one for a rotary Bosch sander last week for a few quid.

 

So this is widely available then.

John i did my oil change opted for VW's Synta 10/40, £22 for 5litres and don't forget you need approx 6.2 litres if i'm correct, also got the filter as well.

Yeah I replaced my bearing and belt not long after getting the car John. The bearing was less than a fiver and only a few quid for an auxilliary belt from GSF/ECP, so did that too. A little more effort than replacing the entire tensioner, but I like doing things the hard way! lol.

Cheers Guys..

Sean, where did you get your bearing from?

The last couple of outings the tensioner sounds like its on it's way noisy when engine has been run for a couple of minutes.

Does anyone know the best place to get the correct part from?

Looks to be not a complicated job. M8, 80mm bolt needed for the tensioner.

Might as well change the belt as well while i'm at it.

My car has no AC so need to use one sided v groove belt.

Mine never had a slot thing.. So no idea what that's about..

This a pic of the back view same as mine, slots into a female socket located under the glove box in my car.

Yes John thats it pretty much. I'm having to use the slot to get it to work. I"M no electrician so know nothing about wiring.

I have one of these fitted to my C , and it's playing up works ok for a few presses and then stops, also a new battery was fitted 2 days ago. Can i "switch" it off without having to rip it out?

My battery is starting to feel the strain as the car hasn't been driven too much this winter, i have a Varta fitted, been in the car for 4 years plus. Been quoted £45 for the same one, not too bad tbh.

Up date, I have bought a set of montys, they were in reasonable nick, until i got them delivered the courier who delivered them must have been playing curling down a gravel path, no paint left on one of the wheels. Will have to do a refurb thanks to him. They were wrapped in bubble wrap but had no obvious damage to the plastic bags they were also wrapped in.

I was in two minds anyway to refurb them back to new finiish, i guess this forced my hand for me.

As for moister soaker upper, i'm using two socks filled with cheapo cat litter had them in a week now and there is now minimal steaming when the car is stood. Just put them on a radiator in the house after a while to dry out, can be used over and over again.

As per title after some Montys 5x100 for Corrado. Possibly with tyres and in good condition.

Nice car you have there, you wont go wrong on here for all your questions etc.

In in Barnsley mate, can organise a meet in new year if you like?

Cheers, they do look ok tbh thanks for your help guys

Cheers for that ^ 5 stud btw

I have been offered a set of good 16 inch Montreal alloys, came off a Bora, has anyone had these fitted to a rado? Would they even be any good to go on a Corrado. Anyone got any photo's.

Nice work Rado. Roll on the better weather ive got my thermo housing leaking now. I'm going to pull the whole front end and do all the crack pipe, and oil cooler whilst its off. What id give for a nice dry unit / garage.

As easypops said, What is the condition / miles done? I'm in the running for some new shocks and top mounts. I'm based in Rotherham not far from you by looks of it. Are you a member of Sheffield dubs btw?
