Glad you enjoyed it bud, and thank you very much. It drives me round the bend sometimes, and I've thought about throwing the towel in on more than one occasion. But then I look back at it after a good wash and wax, it absolutely never fails to make me smile.

No, stick your head up under the N/S of the front bumper and you should see them. (There are 2).

Horn isn't situated there on the VR6 Wayne. Its down in front of the N/S wheel arch.

Just arrived! Looks great, thanks again for sorting all this out Andy, much appreciated! :thumbleft:

I got the boy his first loop the loop track at Christmas, he loves it!.........................as do I to be honest! :lol: Great collection there, its the best thing about having boys, you can relive your own childhood again!

The rubber band is like a small fan belt. It links the two fans so they should both spin together. It's between the centre of the two.

That's a great gesture, thank you for contacting the forum and donating these. It will certainly benefit the wider community and no doubt keep a few on the road in the process if this happens. :salute: :thumbleft:

Indeed. Could have a "flashback" section in the sprinter!

Your battery should be fine mate. If it spins freely, just check there are no fins missing or broken, as that'll cause vibration. They are pretty aggressive anyway, but unless you were being a tad dramatic, it shouldn't vibrate the whole cabin lots. You will definitely hear it, revs will drop slightly and you'll feel it mildly, but that's it mate.

Yes mate, have a look on the bottom of the fusebox cover to see which position it is. Ignition needs to be on for the horn to work btw.

James on the voddy again. :lol:

At a guess you don't have a torque wrench if you are asking that Wayne, which kinda makes your question irrelevant. Pretty tight mate........ Better answer? :lol:

Good spot! Pretty sure they're available from the dealer again. Think it was Chrisl or Goldie changed them all last year. The lids are separate though. Mk4 expansion will work, just need a different level sender connector from a breaker or something. I think it fits in the bracket ok though from what I remember reading. Much cheaper to replace in future too!

https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/corrado/358611301/brake-master-cylinder-reservior-corrado-hydraulic-clutch/?crumbStartPage=1&crumbStartRow=1 Expansion tank is available from VW, around £35 when I bought one last year. PAS reservoir is also available iirc but I didn't get one. To clean, I've used degreaser, then hot soapy water with a babies bottle brush, then let it soak in hot water and bleach for a few hours. Rinse them through with hot soapy and it should be ok. It'll work for the PAS reservoir but not for expansion and brake fluid res. You can get them a bit better, but nothing like new. The PAS reservoir is a bit off colour from factory so looks a bit grubby regardless.

Shame about this Dave. I'm sure you've thought long and hard about it though and as said, needs must. If you do decide to sell, fingers crossed it stays within the community as its a great car. :thumbleft:

Correct, and yes its an electrical clip. Grease will conduct perfectly well so long as you don't go massively overboard mate. A very light smear is all thats required.

In less than 7 weeks, thats immense! Waynes post count nearing 1000 in the same amount of time - dedication!

Its lazy and needs to be worked to get the power out of it. Its a characteristic of the 12v engine that there is little torque under 3.5k rpm. You can reach over 70 mph in second mate, so I'm sure you'll have lots left if shifting down. It has 190 bhp, but its not particularly quick by modern standards. Probably not much more than any modern 2.0 turbo diesel. I know, as I could barely outrun a new BMW 320D a couple of months back!

Probably your driving Wayne. Not much torque below 4k rpm. Shift down to second and floor it, then you'll see it fade away in the rear view mirror!

Not remove it Wayne, just use a credit card to push any dirt thats trapped out of it. The clip makes contact with a brass ring on the back of the steering wheel. Its why your horn works no matter what position the wheel is at.

Silicon grease has a low melting point. Good for anti corrosion and lubrication. Lithium has a high melting point and used for rotating parts that will get hot through friction. Silicon is white and as above, a little like vasaline. Lithium is dark in colour and a bitch to get off interior fabrics! The multi purpose grease you've just bought will be fine for the steering wheel.

Looks a cracker! I'd get it running and sorted before selling. It'd certainly make strong money with the spec. You'll probably be left a little disappointed with selling it as it is, and I'd say breaking would be a big no no. Its worth putting a little in to get a lot back. :thumbleft:

Oh, and make sure the wheels are dead ahead and the steering wheel is centralised before removing. :thumbleft:

Pull off horn cover, taking care not to pull too hard as its connected with a spade connector. Disconnect spade, undo bolt, pull off wheel. Simples! Silicon grease can be got from any motor factors or DIY store mate.

24mm socket needed.
