    Yep, Corrado uses the MK2 Golf (mk3 for VR6) rear beam and bushes and seems to wear suspension parts and bushes faster that it's Golf equivilent.

    The original one is shouldered - the washer on the new one should have them the same effective thread length so yes

    Some 4 studs went on eBay the other day

    They are an arse! - you need to prise the plastic hanger out and up to reveal a screw underneath
  5. Supercharged
    Thats mine!!! (not really)

    Unusual thing to break - did it get jammed in the top mount?
  7. Supercharged
    Thats's all you need Yan apart from new carrier bolts and pads if needed. If they're second hand I wouldn't bother unless they look almost brand new.

    Usually the pump is under the sender unit and the pipes go down to it.... Ring them and try and cancel it!!
  9. Supercharged
    Yeah - you use existing mk3 type carriers and handbrake cables...

    Jeez - that first link could have been a lot worse!! I'd go mk4 Jim - keep an eye on eBay for cheap new calipers - I just bought another for £20 inc postage VW parts are 2 year warranty

    Ok, go to Halfords / GSF / VW and grab a fuel filter - I'd do that regardless... I'd then get onto checking the relay - not sure if there is a way of checking it in the haynes?
  12. Supercharged
    Some mk3's have a glow plug control unit but i think yours is relay driven... I take it you've checked the battery etc? how old is the fuel filter? - the have a water filter thing at the bottom your meant to drain off from time to time...
  13. Supercharged
    Early one will fit too which is only £18

    Depends on model but it's a big job... requires some special tools as well so unless you have a very good specialist nearby, you'll find it's cheaper to go to the dealer... They usuallly have set prices but I think TDI's start at £250 - £450 inc parts. On my AJM engine they say you should replace cambelt, tensioner, relay roller, waterpump and all associated bolts. Parts on there own come to over £100

    16" Speedlines would be the obvious choice...

    Ah - yeas sorry i'd forgotten, hope he's recovered ok now! - altho you'll probably have some sort of attack when you see who's opened another duplicate thread in the engine bay section :lol:
  17. Supercharged
    Hmmm - I've just fitted the brilliance bulbs and they are noticably better than the 2 year old Osram Silverstar's that were in before - I have got new lenses tho and a 4 relay loom...
  18. Supercharged
    oh yeah - what happened to that at the RR day?
  19. Supercharged
    Jesus - you did alright there then! Halfords do a kit with jack, stands and creeper for £39.99
  20. Supercharged
    What tools did you get dude? I just ordered a couple of bits from metalnerd.com - a magnetic sump plug and a wheel locator tool - $23.75 inc postage translates to £12.10 - lol!
  21. Supercharged
    Could be a bearing but i'd see how it goes Jimbo... If it comes back then buy new belts (cheap as chips on a 16) and check the pulley's when they're off...
  22. Supercharged
    Don't use anything...
  23. Supercharged
    Ah cheers Steve - thats the sort of thing I was looking for!
  24. Supercharged
    Yep, cheers mate - they look good and i've removed the hoses... I really need a site that lists Pagid part numbers but can't find one...
  25. Supercharged
    Well, I've tried the pads in the carrier but there is a strange metal clip on one pad that doesn't want to fit in place so I reckon they are wrong - forgot to mention they also have the wear sensors attached to the other pad - do the S2's all come with these?
