nope... i just purchased an early slam panel and radiator support panel. I think I'll look into getting my existing one refurbished, failing that Volks apart sell refurbished ones for £100.

I have a note explaining how to convert the language from German to English at home. I'll dig it out for you.

when it said 8v/16v i thought i had struck gold..... Oh well, I'll have to save up then... the rad on Classic parts is not cheep (£267 + VAT) ---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ---------- did i get the part number right? If i use 535121251B then i get 299euro, and with 535121251C i get 370euro....

http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_act_shop.product_pID_16380296_lang_EN_country_GB.htm Will this rad do the job? I got the part number from Vag Cat of 535121251B And from what Yan tells me they are obsolete from VW. Any thoughts?

OR try to get your engine running at a lower temp? Concentrating on uprated oil coolers, water coolers etc. and maybe get the air intake out of the engine bay so your not recycling the hot air (if that is your car in your avatar pic your cone filter wont be helping much)

bumpagae!

your response was rude and without thought. If it was an attempt at sarcasm then you didn't try very hard. And as for others giving you scastic responses in reply I REALLY think you should read over mine and Monkey's posts again. Nothing was said in "jest"... As for not being interested in the material spec, i can understand you not wonting to accept manufactures figures at face value, they often spin there specs to give the impression of higher performance. And there is a difference between figures on paper and practice. But I would take Monkey's suggestion seriously, before just accepting what someone tells you over a forum. For instance, i might have a turbo and carbon fibre bonnet and I drive to the shops and back... Low engine temp. My mate with the same car drives to knock hill every week and thrashes the nuts off it, high temp. I would be interested in seeing your engine bay temp after you turn off the engine, your fan will say on for a while after you turn off the engine of course, but the temp will be determined on the specific heat capacity of the engine and components and the total heat energy in the block/turbo/oil/coolant. No two cars are alike, especially with a 16 year old car. I would seriously consider getting the engine bay temp measured before you accept an off the cuff remark from a car forum. Lets hope your cold gets better soon mate... It's making you irritable! ---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ---------- that was sarcastic.... and so, by it's very nature, is this response :lol:

His answer was useful you numpty! If you can find out the material specification of the carbon fibre then you can estimate the maximum temperature range for the material before delamination occurs... which by your statement... is what you where asking for! if you have a bonnet in mind, find out what it's made from and then you'll know the max temp. turbo or not, your engine wont go above 200 degrees even after you turn it off. I'd be sure to ready others posts more carefuly before you bad mouth them on a public forum...

Ahh gotcha. Sorry, don't have any of them! By the way, your signature You can't "polish" a turd... but you can always roll it in glitter :D

i just did this again but "imagined" that all the work was finished on it and it was again a working model. £480 :nono:

Well I find it difficult to imagine them lowering the price they gave ME by much!!! :lol: [ATTACH=CONFIG]45886[/ATTACH]

Sorry to rob the thread but If the pedal feels stiff/slow to raise would this mean the cable is on the way out or do i just need to grease the pedal hinge?

Finished the car!! well... not my car! I've been helping my pal on and off for 2 months now with his oak green mk2 golf (16v gti) Went in for it's MOT today and we'll find out if it's passed tonight. I hope it is! This bumming car has monopolized my time for too long! :lol: would be nice to fix my OWN car at some point. [ATTACH=CONFIG]45883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]45884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]45885[/ATTACH] EDIT: It didn't pass... I should have expected as much with me conducting the work but hey ho!

they have to make it obvious or they'll get sued knowing the general public...

Cigaret lighter provisionally sold to ger040 :)

Jesus tap dancing Christ... adorned with a commemorative ‘Will’ emblem! Where do I sign!!!! Some one hand me my chequebook!!

you talking about the bit that's attached to the lower part of the door pin behind the door card or the actual pin on the top?

:offtopic::offtopic::offtopic::offtopic::offtopic::offtopic: :lol: You can type it in to the window eg. : ) = :) or you can use the smiles in advanced veiw. They should be on the right hand side of the box you write your txt into. Just click the one you wont to use :bonk:

I guessed a BMW mini cooper but i don't think it's right... Also, looks like I missed the dead line by an hour!!! :(

mine seem to be working! :) :D :lol:

That's a little harsh... I do my shopping in Tesco, every two or three weeks spend maybe £50-60 on food and other things. If I do then I get 5p off per litre. I don't go out of my way to spend £50 in order to get the 5p off.... It's just nice to know. Also, I'm lucky that my closest shop is tesco so it's not like i'm spending any more driving miles to do my shopping.

If it's any help.... I pay £1.30.9 for standard stuff and £1.35.9 for the tesco Momentum99 so just add 5p onto your standard supermarket fuel price an you wont be far wrong. ALSO... If you do that spend £50 and get 5p off thing... I'll get it for the same price as standard fuel. This offer at Sainsbury's and Tesco really is worth getting

If that's the case then Tesco has the cheapest and highest octane fuel in the country! even more reason to shop there... sorry I have nothing against sainsbury's... just being honest!

yeah they sure do, has a higher octane level than sainsburys too (99 RON not 98 Ron) ---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ---------- infact i think the only higher octane you can get in the uk is BP ultimate at 102 RON (http://www.petrolprices.com/about-fuel.html)
