is that the 1 that goes throught the waterpump and holds lower cambelt cover on
-
check there is earth on the brown wire
-
I always let mine run for a few mins before i drive it. The manual states no spirited driving until the oil temp hits 50
-
yep i defo used a mk2 1
-
on the 9A isnt it underneath?
-
Just sourced these seats but are on mk2 subframes and are too high so need to make some new subframes, hopefully will get matching rear seat from corradofan
-
That noise would be release bearing? Theres another rod with plastic ends, was it that 1 you replaced or the 1 thats all plastic?
-
have you checked the white plastic linkage that is mounted on little balls? weve picked up many golfs claiming gearbox has gone cos 5th has gone and its always these white linkage bits and best bit they are about £4
-
theres normally 2 or 3 on the right hand side of the head, the temp gauge sender normally has a yellow/red wire, doesnt matter which wire goes on which sender, they are all the same
-
I used a tsr stainless mk2 golf 1, should be fine if not runing a cat although abf is 16mm taller block
-
TSR?
-
yeah you prob blown off a boost pipe, you could try putting your dash clocks in boost mode and see if your egttin boost?

I guess so, VW put a bigger pulley on the 1.8 16v alternator for this reason (7200rpm red line), the 2.0 16v and 8v cars which redline lower, have smaller pulleys. Perhaps it's better to put slightly larger pulleys on the ancilliaries than smaller ones on the crank??? - I wouldn't want to underdrive my waterpump for instance. They use smaller crank pulleys on flat 4 beetle engines so it doesnt use as much engine power turning the cooling fan.
-
Isnt another point that most of these alloy pulleys are slightly smaller than standard to underdrive the ancillaries? Im using a mk3 1.4 crank pulley and that had no damper
-
i ran 1 on my old 16v engine with no worries and i dont have the damper on my 16vg60 engine
-
Looks like it would just need a decat
-
You will obviously need a remap straight after its fitted. Surely you would be better off making sure the engine flows better before fitting 1 of these?
-
Most people run wideband for a means of monitoring rather than for the ecu
-
Yep mine used to do that, although 16vs need to be floored at about 4k when they come on cam
-
Yes but bigger rad may only be single core, Look at the mk2 8v gti, has big rad, 16v has rad half the size, reason being the 16v is twin core so cools as effecient without being as big.
-
just twice as many pipes inside it i think
-
My mate used a 1.3 rad on his 20vt so i guess so. The 16v rad should be twin core aswell

dash backlights - more tales of woe in the corrado story
