thats awesome!! whats the emissions like?

love having one hate not being able to drive it

:wave: stellas on me

aint all tightened up yet, need to get some bolts

must be limited edition with the vr6 badge there!

got intake manifolds off and still got a sheared bolt on the rocker cover, thought i'd fucked the injectors when i was yanking them out but they're ok in the end... enough talk..

Definately

Awesome thanks, is the hex 14mm?

comes up as floor mats on mine but doesn't specify which model, sorry :(

I've taken my lower intake manifold off but can't suss out how to pull the fuel injectors out from their housing as i need them to go into the new manifold (unless its just brute force), i also need to remove one of the injector inserts (as the fourth on the new mani's insert has snapped) to put in the 50mm lower intake that i have waiting to go on so any help is appreciated (again).

he thinks they are newer than they are haha

mine is a mixture of early and late, early interior which consists of square'r heater vents (also taller in the centre) then has a late bonnet and late hangers (exhaust)

this is a great read... still isn't finished! http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3588222 :notworthy: :notworthy: (EDIT: engine in on page 4)

thanks, didnt even think about that... screwfix direct absolute bargin... £2.96 http://www.screwfix.com/prods/18643/Dri ... Y?ts=40516

you did the same thing??

to further my problems i sheared a bolt into the head woohoo, whats the best thing to do? i've attempted scoring a line into the metal to try and screw it out but am thinking a welder, but not sure at such a close distance to the head? if it helps its the side closest to the slam panel and the middle bolt (see pic) help is appreciated again thanks!!

I'm swapping over my inlet upper, lower if i can work out how to extract the fuel rail and the rocker cover, just wondering is there an order once the gaskets are on is there an order to tighten the bolts on rocker and upper inlet (dont think i'm gonna bother with the lower today) help appreciated! thanks ian

late, 92 is the divide and where it gets more complicated.

my 16v cost me £620 to insure!

brakes bled and clutch pedal is no longer stuck to the floor!! handbrake wasn't working before and turns out (as i thought) that it was because the fluid reservoirs were empty, so thats another problem checked off me list :D:D:D

i'd stick nice on (since your knocking on it's door) and lyon, especially lyon as my french friends say that is one of the most beautiful cities in france. I'd have been tempted to add tuscany in after lake garda but then you'd end up doing the whole of italy :)

looks real good, what was your method to remove the windscreen??

have you plotted it on google maps to share then we can give better idea of destinations :)

I've been quoted £120 for this which i think is really cheap, and thats with the guy supplying bushes (which i don't want him to do); but even though, i'm trying to learn as much as i can with this car so i'm thinking about taking on the job myself. I've looked at some posts of people replacing their bushes, taking the axle off etc and just wondered how much skill is exactly required to do this; i've only been tinkering since about september so just wondered, is it to big a job??? i think i've got the tools, no ramp, but a jack and two axle stands; the problem that phases me the most is the alignment upon taking it off and putting it back on, and putting the new bushes in. If anyone could give me a concise list of what you need that would be great! Thanks! Ian
