Good to see it coming along

Looks a bit tight, why didnt you take the front panel off?

The only area to worry about is the speedo drive

I cleaned mine with a mix of comma hyper clean, cillit bang and a pressure washer

yep :)

I assume you mean the copper washers for the banjo joint, 10mm

Great news on the job

Bring on the shiny new bits

Very nice. Polo hubs?

Yes Polo hubs

From the drums I bought a while back

Rear brakes finally fitted

Quite pleased because its dropped the rear but kept the wheel in the centre of the arch

glad to see you got it sorted

Thanks for the info, I will check what size my springs are

OK, still could be wiring but maybe check the spoiler control box that is at the front of the dash, kinda behind the area below the light switch

Look good Dox, what you looking for posted please

Sounds like a monster. Get some pics up

No i cant move it on the button, but a couple of people ive spoke to say cluster

That sounds a bit odd, at the moment I dont have a cluster in mine at all and I can move the spoiler with the button

Could be a bit more than cluster, maybe some wiring has fried

Be good to know what you find

As the title says, I would like a pair of the spring caps that lower the front suspention

TIA

Sounds like you have the twin LDC cluster, yes?

I'd first wip the cluster out and see if it is that that smells or something else behind the dash.

If it is the cluster you will have 2 possible choices, remove the front plastic and gauges, find what has burnt and if you are lucky and the damage is limited, replace it (or have someone else replace it)

Or, buy another cluster.

It does all sound cluster related with the loss of gauges and the spoiler stuck.

Can you move the spoiler manually?

Have a look at these, the wire you want is on line 31

I use 3M scotchweld DP490

We use it at work for gluing many things from plastics to carbon fiber

It hasn't torn but the material has shrunk quite a bit making the corner part tricky to put back. I noticed today that the other side is starting to do the same. No harm in trying and perhaps a bit of heat/conditioner might help in massaging it into position.

Got to be worth a try to fix it, little bit of heat should help.

I used evo / bostick to fix my leather rear panels

How about an R32 conversion for 10K

Was wondering if it is Kev Bacons old car

How old is the car, do you have the cluster with a single LCD and analogue speedo or 2x LCD with digital speedo

If the single LCD then I would try the voltage reg that is part of the Fuel/Coolant gauge pod, easy to get to once the front plastics are removed

If its the later 2x LCD then they use a different setup with stepper motors and a single PCB for complete cluster so it would be a bigger issue for them.

I plan to be going but in the R:. not the Corrado

Nice, what kit did you use for the carbon?

Looks tricky - why are you separating them anyway?

for this

It is glued around the top and bottom edge's and they dont come off easily.

Would probably be better if some care was taken

bottom edge

top edge

There is a group on facebook for putting a 2.0 tfsi in mk1 and 2 golfs

https://www.facebook.com/groups/391855057873252/

Be interest in this as I have an eye on an engine but trying to justify if its that much better than the 1.8T I have now
