Supercharged

Yep, take off the plastic trim (takes seconds) and have a good look at the connections.... I assume evrything else is working fine? - ie no blown fuses...

Front sensors are about £30 from GSF... If the ABS light is on all the time then most likely the sensor is dead - unplug both fronts at the top of the suspension turrets and measure resistance across the plug this should confirm the one you suspect is duff... If your not sure or it doesn't fix it, you'll need to hook the car up to VAGCOM to locate the fault.

duckeh, give C&R a call - they can supply the Goodridge MK2 to MK4 (banjo) adapter hoses

Nope - the 4 cyl models are M12 where the VR6/Mk3 GTi etc (plus axle setup) are M14

Kick the living sh1t out of them... it's the only way they'll learn.

If you can stretch to it go for a mk4 based car, Golf, A3, A4, Bora etc as the PD engines are in a different league to the rest... just make sure they've been run on the correct oil...

Are you painting the calipers or is powder coating a better way to go?

Yep, those orange hoses are great....

Yeah, thats what we found on Kevcheesewires car earlier... luckily the 3 bits of green had been caught by the socket and not gone into the rail itself...

RW1, ever seen the O ring on a VR FPR starting to disentegrate?

two black pipes running along the left hand side of the top of the engine - they are the main ones!

NOT normal... carefully inspect the pipes especially the ends around the clips....

Who changed the Cambelt last?? if it was an independant garage they probably didn't change the roller - get it done again asap!

They were OSRAM silverstars selling for £7.99 - only because ALDI we're selling them for £3.99!!

Schoolboy...

Yo! Quite funny this as I was ay Audioscape today when this guy turns up in a mk4 115 (same engine as you and me jim) complaining how slow it is... I drive it and he's right, it's completly flat, no torque and feels like the turbo is not there... I had the old valve in the car that I know works so decided to try that but it didn't seem to help (altho I'm now thinking I should have reset the ECU as I did when I changed mine but this may only be because I used the 130PD valve..) This is what the article above is about Jim and the part number ends in B instead of A and seemed to make a difference on mine and might explain why your torque figure on the rollers was higher? Yep, the boost control valve (N75) is £25 altho Neil charged me 85p by accident and then took 10% off that, lol - top bloke! Easy enough to swap, 2 10mm bolts near the windscreen and 3 vac hoses and a plug... vac hoses are hard to get off but just pull em and make sure you put them on the new one correctly, also disconnect the bat or ECU for while you swap them for a reset then drive it straigh away. Anyway, me and Kev went to pick up the VAGCOM laptop, came back and scanned in but nothing engine related, just a climotronic fault and another for the imob... I'm sure his fault is sensor related as it drives fine just very sluggish - maybe in limp mode (see the doc I printed for you Jim), I'm thinking it's something operating out of range that VAGCOM doesn't thro a fault for maybe TPS or MAF, I really need to learn more about the software!

No worries - download firefox for now as the forum's not working in IE consistently - we are looking into it!

Ah ok, for that one you need... 06A 906 461LX - same price as one above...

I think Haywire had some machined down to fit but I reckon if you go into Halfords and pick a set of VR ones, M14 I think and take one of the adapter ones with you, you may be able to find a match from a set for another car...

Yep, tried my 16's on Kevs car today and they fit fine... ET35 Rondells Only applies to the back dude, for the fronts you can just use standard MK3 Highline....lines...

No, It does help, I took my pants off when fitting my pods and the bass response is amazing...

Cool...

Check the blue temp sender and the CO pot...

Yeah, rear ones connect uner the rear seats... they are about 50% more than the front ones which I assume is just because of the loom...

Yep, fan switch is working at stage 2 only... The nuespeed one should sort it but a new VW one would be fine also...
