I feel Shame... :( I thought that it would be K-jet... but wasn't sure. I'm no expert of 16v's!

take a picture and post it on here so we know what your on about... is it at the gear stick end or the shifter tower end?

first off what car you got? VR6, 16v, g60, 8v? also, what kind of fuelling system do you have? I assume with your talk of allan keys and other idle control bits that it's a K-jet system you have? It could be anything from your automatic choke to your lambda probe, feed us some more info :)

i helped too! in spirit! :D

MOT Cough cough... [ATTACH=CONFIG]48319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]48320[/ATTACH]

MOT today...

clever... but I think I'll just get a garage to do it now, It's not an essential thing to be done.

there's a VR5 engine?

Just rub it in why don't ya!

yeah, i found that out after I looked over the part i took off. The O - rings where still there, if a little worn down. I gt some new o-rings from halfords, they're all fitted nice and snug now! ---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ---------- Hi guys! The weekend was a nice lazy day doing bits and bobs (I don't have any pictures unfortunately), I managed to do the following: Re-fitted the temp sensors with o-rings. They now sit nice and snug. Wrapped some more wiring with my new OEM wiring tape. fitted my window rollers, no more rattly windows! :cheers: Tested for coolant leaks... it all looks good now. No more visible leaks. However, the fan is still not coming on! I've still to check the fuses but tbh.. I think every other sensor I could change has been changed. Fitted my alloys only to find i'm missing a wheel bolt! Whooops! other than a few things I think I'm ready for an MOT... My brake bias valve didn't come in time to fit this weekend (ordered last week from Eurocar parts) so i still have the rear brake lines to make up. I still have a gearbox leak and I don't have an allan-key big enough to remove the plugs to replenish the oil and pop in some gear box leak fix stuff. I'm getting there though. I'm going to have to spend some time soon getting the bonnet re-sprayed so it looks less like a shed and more like a car! Keep your ears peeled....

Tonight is fitting new door speakers (although I'm not sure the wiring to the speakers is live I'll fit them anyway just to get them out the road), re-fit the passenger door card and FINALLY after months of having them, fitting these new Window rollers! I hope they fit! :lol: I may have some more exciting news to relay in the next week or too but until then stay tuned! :thumbleft:

Thats insane! Its A great film, the missing reel during the sex scene, the amazingly gory violence, the mad acting and obsession with BBQ sauce! It's hilarious! I think the only better way to improve the film would be to have killed Fergie from the Black eye peas MORE times than just once... watching her legs being ripped off was great fun :lol: You have to take that film with a pinch of salt, it's not a horror and it's not a comedy... It's a purposely crap gore fest, attempting to mock all the old, tired, B-rate horror flicks of the 70's. Ever seen trolls 2? try searching for it on youtube and you'll see what I mean! Having said all that, it's sister film "Death Proof" by Tarantino is better, less stupid and slightly more sinister. And the best thing about both grind house films was the trailer for "Machete". "They messed with the wrong mexican!" Classic!

keep an eye on ebay... I got my ASD box for £50! I'd also get new slave cylinder for the clutch but otherwise it's a straight swap! Good hunting!

stage 4 and 68mm pully means a service every 20k-30k. If it's been done before then then yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.

as above, your main worry will be the condition of the charger. Take a screwdriver with you and check the boost pipe from the charger for oil. Just attached via a jubilee clip. Also check the boost levels using this guide http://wiki.the-corrado.net/the_corrado_buying_guide_checklist.html near the bottom of the page. That guide also gives other things to check for :)

OOOOh! thanks dude! I did look but £70 was a little much. £50 is much better :)

btw, i think this is the same on all models except the VR6

part number 357612151, found near the passenger side rear beam under the car. In good condition please and known to work [ATTACH=CONFIG]48243[/ATTACH]

Whey!

After a quick look on VW Spares it would seem that all replacement sensors get a washer with them... The ones fitted to the car didn't have these! I've ordered both temp sensors including seals to see if that should help make them a tighter fit.

the g60 came in both flash and tornado i think... but only the face lift 92 g60's got flash I think.... You can tell the difference between the two though just by looking, flash is slightly lighter and less intense red than Tornado (i think!) Tornado Red -----------------------------LY3D --------------------88 - 91 Flash Red ---------------------------------LP3G --------------------92 - 95 ---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ---------- chances are it's tornado...

has anyone noticed that Fanjita seems to live in the North Sea? about 100miles of the coast of Sutherland... Must get very lonely :(

Few Bits and Bobs: Tried fitting a new coolant jobby to the front of the engine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]48222[/ATTACH] The existing. looks ok from this angle... [ATTACH=CONFIG]48223[/ATTACH] But not so good from this angle.... Rubber seal had totaly gone. I hope this will stop my coolant leak. However.. there is a small problem [ATTACH=CONFIG]48224[/ATTACH] i cleaned up the engine so the rubber could get a nice seal and the fitted the new Febi part (not OEM) [ATTACH=CONFIG]48225[/ATTACH] This is the new one fitted. Trouble is that the blue and black temp sensors are VERY loose... I can move them up and down just with my fingers, the steel clips stop them popping out but they still slide around! Is this normal? will this not leak? Thoughts Please! Also, as an aside, I did this... [ATTACH=CONFIG]48226[/ATTACH] to replace this [ATTACH=CONFIG]48227[/ATTACH] Not the best bit of coach-building I grant you but better than what was there!

just go and get a second hand 99 relay from the scrappy and then you'll have intermittent wiper control :) ---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ---------- ahh too slow

well your certainly in hot hatch territory... But there are a few REALLY good cars for about 6k ish... Need only look at top gear a few weeks ago to see what's on offer. Otherwise have you considered skoda Octavia http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-SKODA-OCTAVIA-AMBIENTE-TDI-BLUE-/180696862925?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a125f50cd Seat Cupra http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-SEAT-LEON-CUPRA-1-8-20V-TURBO-BLACK-/330590845873?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4cf8bffbb1 Id wait maybe a FEW more days before you crawl back into a C! :lol:
