Rears appear to be a hybrid set up, OE taper bearings and disks machined to become a hub? MK4 / TT quattro 256mm disks MK4 2WD / TT Quattro etc callipers Carriers could be MK4 2WD or TT Quattro (different offsets to allow for different hub set ups) Carrier to axle adaptors? Easiest would be a swap back to OE set up? Does the 256mm set up hit on the back of the spokes or the barrels of the speediness?

Sold and gone to a good home. lovely to meet you
-
You said maybe Uttoxeter, so Costa or Macdonalds?
-
Should be fine, nothing on tomorrow

Pics would be good. The rears are 256mm vented? Fronts could be redeployed with smaller disks and calliper adaptors maybe? Purple toms sale thread, he was one of the first in the UK to master the 256mm brake upgrade, not sure if you'll find anything in his threads with speediness fitted?

I'm working tomorrow, then off for 12 days, so available to meet when convenient to us both. No need for apologies, I expected it to be in the coming week or so anyway. Hope you had a good holiday?

Mine cracked vertically, fan housing is riveted to the air box, Alloy just snapped
-
From what I’ve read the matrix is different to the no A/C type. once I removed the air box from the shell it snapped in half, might be worth bracing it if you can?

For those who’ve never done this, when you press the bearing into the knuckle you press the outer ring of the bearing only (the old outer part of the previous bearing is prefect for this, a slit cut with an angle grinder allows the outer to contract a little so it doesn’t get stuck where the circling fits once fully home). When you press the drive flange / hub into the centre of the bearing from the front you need to support the rear inner part of the bearing from the rear - if you don’t you shorten the life of the sealed bearing / destroy it. Do not allow the two threaded holes the carrier bolts to to take any load from the press as being cast iron they break off easily

They must have taken the dashboard out so why such a cobble up god only knows, unless it was a team effort, one does his bit, on to the next, then the next. YEEEHHHHHAAAAA! Diavia aka, Buffalo Bill and Wyatt Earp!
-
The Diavia "fitters" (they weren't technicians for sure!) must have been on piece work.....

I suspect you don’t have full paid membership to the classifieds? what’s wrong with yours?

I’ll be working weekends Easter onwards, so it will have to be mid week

Unsure of width and ET at this current time but wide and stretched! All tyres are scrap! Only pic of one wheel until a serious individual is found as they’re in my garage loft with poor access (they were never going to be sold!) Faces hand polished Rears original finish and covered in brake dust With them being a motorsport derived wheel there’s lots of room for big brakes (hardly any well in the wheels). No indication if ET or Width on the rear £600 Collection from Crewe Cheshire 10 mins J16 M6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Need a refurb, one has a dent at the rear of the rim, scruffy as seen Centre bore is larger than VW so needs a locating ring or spigot or bare back if you’re brave! Collection Crewe Cheshire 10 mins J16 M6 £100 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries, plan was to leave it for forum members only for a week then go public on fb for all my stuff.

Uttoxeter is half way? Mac Donald’s (yuk!) or Starbucks?
-
I seem to remember the Porsche version has an inlet manifold to filter box the opposite way to other VAGs and is a bit more corrado friendly (battery stays under the bonnet?).
-
90% of mk1 3.2 TTs were DSG 05 onwards are the higher taxation class (lots of guzzlers have this issue, not just VAG). Complicated engine that loves to throw cam / crank correlation codes (chain stretch or not sometimes) with age. 17748 / 17755 - google them, they’re nearly 20 years old now, so a long way from the new engine in an old car it once was.

2 cats and 4 lambdas on R32s, most would have had the post cats mapped out and straight piped. your best bet it to chat with your MOT tester as it’s his discretion/ interpretation of the rules etc Pre 1992 doesn’t need a cat, some late registered cars don’t either (NOS ). If your question is around ULEZ, what does a standard R32 class as?

I’m off sick atm, could meet on the a50? Pub near Burnaston
