I still have the loom so I could snip the plug off with cable to solder it into your loom. Can't you reseal your pump? Undo the screws and epoxy it back together for a kill or cure fix?

Both of mine have the same number, 10V and 20V V5 engines ---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ---------- Not the best pic

Part number 0 392 020 073

I once found an electric pump similar for racing motorbikes when I was looking for one for my V5 (it came complete with loom plug) - it turned out the wire was broken in the loom near the plug, have you checked for 12V at the plug?

They have them on V5 MK4s, passats and toledos (10Vs and 20Vs), I'm not sure about the electrical connector though, I've got a couple in the garage, I'll check tomorrow.

He's not a member here, he's asked me to pass on his number, check your PMs

I've PMd him a link to this thread

I've no idea TBH, there's a lad on CGTi that wants the 20V box for his car, I've provisionally accepted his offer tonight, he's removing his VR gearbox and selling it to fund the V5 box which he says its close ratio

I've got a couple of VAG V5 gearboxes, one a 10V, the other a 20V. MK4 derived cars have DMF which offer some protection to the gearboxes. Both from my own cars that I've personally driven, no issues at all, both have done 140Kish miles. I have starters and lever and cable assys too if needed. £100 for the 10V (head gasket failure), £150 for the 20V (stretched chains)

What do you need?

calipers and carriers both front and rear off a 2001 FWD Seat. £120 collected for the fronts £150 collected for the rears Usable disks if you want them. Collection from near Crewe (J16, 17, 18 M6)

Corrado Storm OEM - thats what I presumed it meant?

Just arrived this very morning, all good, thanks again. Free bump ;o)

I'll take the mirrors, I'll need them posted though please. PM a paypal email address / posted price and I'll pay in the morning. Thanks

Mine are intact but have some tarnishing around the edges, I wondered if yours were better than mine?

What condition are the mirror glasses in?

No sparks when misted with water is good with the engine running and all plugs connected, you're checking the leads aren't breaking down and one lead cross-firing to another or direct to earth - you're replicating what happens on a damp morning start. I'd expect the shortest of leads to be around 20K ohms, the longest 30-35K ohms and the others to step up between dependant upon length.

Can you borrow a crank sensor? For the cam sensor fault code it compares crank and cam timing, if either is out it throws a cam sensor fault. With the engine running in the dark, use a garden hand sprayer to mist water over the plug leads and watch for sparks, you can also measure the leads resistance with a multimeter, the longer the lead the higher the resistance. Most plug lead problems are caused by owners pulling on the leads themselves rather than using the removal tool clipped to the bonnet stay

You could use a MK4 Golf battery box for a neat boot mounted battery set up, diesels have larger boxes than petrols

With the tensioner on the car its difficult to get a pic, a nice and easy job

Forget all I've written above, thats for later VWs, the VR6 is even easier, you need an M8 bolt with a decent length of thread and you simply wind the bolt in to take the tension off the belt

I've got a couple of tensioners hanging around, I'll peg one and post a pic

They're not bad to do, make a sketch of the orientation the belt runs around the pulleys. Usually theres a hole in the tensioners spring loaded arm and one in the back plate, using a spanner release the tension on the arm and put a 5mm masonary bit through the arm and lock it into the backplate. Remove the original belt and slide the new one over the pulleys, tension the arm again and remove the masonary drill bit and then allow the tensioner to take up slack in the belt. Its best to keep the keys in your pocket so now one can start the car while your fingers are involved in the belt. The masonary bit will most likely bend and be scrap afterwards, a HSS drill bit will shear and should not be used. New tensioners come with a 5mm steel rod already pegging the tensioner.

If its a PD engine it needs PD oil to prevent wear to the cam shaft, a small amount of mayo on the filler car on these colder damper days is nothing to worry about, just keep an eye on the oil in the sump for mixing. 115BHP will be an AJM engine.
