Philmo 0 Posted July 28, 2010 De-wipered the tailgate - or at least VAG-hag did! [i just supplied the car and passed the tools.] Many thanks for the bung Fay - just the ticket. Every time I go to garage for gardening stuff, I just stand back and gawp - makes so much difference. I'm amazed it wasn't a dealer option to take t' wiper off!

I need to do this with mine, was it easy to do... Ordered some parts from TPS....found that the 50mm spoiler is on back order :( and that the o/s door lock mech cover is obsolete :( so....does anyone have a spare!

Will be good to meet you and yr new C! :D I think I'm going to VW Fest in Leeds, might have a place on the Lowdown stand. Old Postie was a regular meeting place for the Yorkshire section on my corsa forum, but when everyone from SYorks stopped coming we moved it up to XScape at Castleford as it was loads closer for all of us Is there a regular like monthly meet or anything like that, or does someone just spontaneously post a thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sprinterVR6 0 Posted July 29, 2010 Say Wompa - cool bay you got there. :shock: ` sweet looking car! Just a query - obviously looks wise, the bonnet removed is very cool, but any gain or improvment to the running of the car? Less heat in the bay = healthier engine?? Not a long term thing needless to say, what with weather etc :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWizardofOdds 0 Posted July 29, 2010 New 288 mm brakes, wheel bearing kit, brake pipes. My car is almost unrecognizable. Gone is the wooly steering and unbearable road noise. Tight. :awesome: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted July 29, 2010 Fitted new rear wheel bearings and cast a general eye over other MOT-able parts. Nothing looks too diabolical. As I've been having a bit of a problem with stuttering when cold (Runs fine when warmed up a bit, about a mile) I fitted new plugs, plug leads, dizzy cap. Did a compression test with the following results No 1-11.5, No 2-12.5, No 3- 11.5, No 4 11.5 bar. Not sure why 2 is higher, maybe the cylinder was a bit wet. I'll give them another check after a few runs and a good belt down the motorway. How are these figures generally, the engine has done 189,000 miles? Discovered a crack in the rubber elbow that connects the final bit of the air intake to the throttle body which may just explain the stuttering. Went to the local stealers only to be told they are obsolete. The part number on mine 027 133 649 D doesn't exist and should be 027 133 643 apparently. Bugger. Also ordered a set of the plastic seat runner clips while I was there. I love this car, don't know why, I just do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted July 29, 2010 put tax and new plates on, just gotta wait till sunday now for a drive :onfire: /\ have you checked the thermotime wullie and the cold start valve, both could cause of rough running when cold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
