    cheers

    im still kinda lost though

    ive fitted bumpers to other cars but most came with built in bolts

     

    i didnt get any fitting kit with it just the shell and some mastik glue thing

    forgot to mention mine is rs4 not rs2

    hello

    i got a rs bumper what a havent fitted yet

    its just the shell with no bolts and NO mouldings fitted inside IS THIS NORMAL?? am i going to have to stick the fitting bits on??

    also is it a good idea to fit other bumper on like the rs one as ive been told the bumper holds the front together and shouldnt be driven without?

    hi

    about a month ago my ecu last its memory n the car couldnt idle (as some already know!! cheers)

    got the car tuned by a muppet who told me engine was mash up?? turned out he left ht lead 5 off....

    anyway i took all the spark plugs off n they all seemed matt black... so i cleaned them all while waiting for my new plugs to come..

    just changed all the plugs today and

    PLUG 1,2,3,4,5 ALL are what i think in good condition dry light black/grey with a bit of rusty brown colour...

    but spark plug number 6 is dry matt black all over n smells strong of fuel

    whats this mean??

    o maybe im wrong

    i thought vat can be charged from the eu, i know they dont charge the customs of 8% and then ontop the vat as they do from outside the eu but i thought they did charge VAT..

    if that is the case then i think i would be able to get them for less then the 160

    my cousin is bringing me 2 sets of corrado clear lights, n he can send me more if anyone wonted...

    ok cant find the damn leak

    the oil is very clear clean ends up on the gearbox end

    most of the engine is clean n oil free excect the lower gearbox end n it ends up dripping from that metal vw badge below.....

    from above its still all dry n clean except there is alot of oil sitting on the right side of the top of da gearbox.... there is a slight leak coming from the thick pipe on da right hand side.. is this da oil cooler?? it feels like there is also oil coming from that pipe?? is that possible on a vr6??? HELP

    still aint managed to work it out..

    put summin under it to catch the oil its yellowy white dont smell much abit fishy..

    if i look under the car most of the oil appears to end up on the block that got the vw logo on it n just above it

    ok im confused

    brake oil seems full n it dont hold alot so if it was that im sure it would ave gone down by now?

    engine oil is still very full n it looks too thin to be that?

    oil looks like water its so thin n clean doea this say its gotta be da gearbox?

    i aint got the tool to check the gear box, is that funny socket summin i can get from halfords or do i have to get stuck in traffic going to VW ?? europarts n gsf are near me will they sell da bit to check da gearbox oil???

    ok ive looked at it know, well the book...

    i dont think there is any brake fluid missing though it seems full?? is this the same oil as the slave cyl??

  17. Posted

    i dont even know what the slave cylinder IS?? or where?

    all the oils look full except gearbox oil wht i aint got da tool to look at
