I believe type 3 detectives do some!

As Dave says. There was also a service bulletin from vw some years ago saying the part was no longer required

I managed mine with two people and a bloody good pair of mole grips. I strained to get the spring stretched while my friend moved my hands to guide the hook to the right place. Its amazing how far you can stretch it when your only aim is to make it longer. Far to hard to stretch it and locate it on ...

Ebay has now emailed me this a few times, hardly surprising it hasn't sold.

Does anyone know why it might be worth £120, personally I see it as £20 tops

Fuel pump???

Your not demanding when at idle or reving. Start driving down the road and it wont take long to empty the float bowls if the fuel pump isnt delivering at full capacity

I think they all do them, VWH. machine 7 definately do

Vwh do stock said items. I believe they're dome head countersunk self tapping screws

At the lincoln camper day on sunday. Saw this

for a split second I thought it was yours. Then I noticed the wheels and other touches

Ive got the coverzone top spec, "stormforce" I think it is, car is always bone dry underneath. The straps could do to be stronger, in the 80mph+ winds we had in feb one of the clips broke. They're the same style as the ones on a back pack. I just put a ratchet strap around the car to hold the cover ...

I would say no! If that's what yovue done then you have almost certainly damaged the brass drive grear and will have some shavings in the engine somewhere. A strip and inspection is in order to be sure that you wont be taking it apart again in a couple of months!

cheers! I had forgotten to post up the process I gave the pair a nice rich gulf orange, 3 coats with flatting of blemishes between coats https://ro6czq-ch3301.files.1drv.com/y4ma7c5-T0-eg6zl7w6NhX_NQeSsf8Erx2x5iBlTWTKxTKLrjQX0vG1w0Fy4Hrh8883DLCKPpF1cnFT_KcBuhLt68JDF0uNVJvmJXOMGzvZ33TCukbeaRyWZc1CaXl...

Little tinker with the paint this evening and its not that bad. Excuse the poor photos, camera phone and strip lighting. Ill take some with a real camera in day light at the weekend. The orange is much deeper and the silver is much less dominant that these photos have you believe https://wuxvaw-ch33...

What this man said /\ or only jack one rear wheel up and chock your other wheels to stop the other rear wheel turning and car moving. What your should see, Number 1 at TDC both valves closed 180 degrees round the crank exhaust valve opening 180 further exhaust valve closing and inlet opening 180 fur...

I suppose mine only really needs the front beam and a lick of paint

I dont think it was the fault of the paint, I think it was the operator. Might have picked up my white spirit rather than thinners (in the same style bottle) This causes the resaction. I havnt had time to sort the issue yet as I wanted to get the porsche waxoyled and on the road before it was too la...

as per mike and where are you located? if your local to me I may be able to help

Id like to have given you an update before now but the paint reacted and ive not had the time to rub down and try again yet

20w50 is fine, our engines run at a higher temp with this form of cooling, which means the thicker oil things to a suitable viscosity. Can you find out the ZDDP content? Opie will know and if they dont they will be able to find out. You want over 1000ppm and it'll be all the oil you every want

Worlds apart! hows the rebuild going? Any reason your breathing the rocker covers?

Thanks very much, the first coat of colour has gone on today so ill leave that for a couple of days before the second stage.

3 light coats and 1 heavy coat of primer later https://32irca-ch3301.files.1drv.com/y4mb30yCaPR7NScBgIZyROLr6YR5SdCZc-d9eBrRjWmkfNPCYaK2-0uNkY6h4zE-8pBKwTHVc7TIQYegx2PMhDAPfPMHqMQ6Ym8hiQofZJLBYO5l7W_3tA6qFKwWOO0dLAfJ4RBjyCP3-5BPovhdD1-Vk-USQMvTn21fggi1OxVOwd01LIbFIPLDmWvftjnMaWqKnBwEFoUtiN3p5eKzuiGs...

Still worth checking the gaps. The firing order is 1432 in a clockwise direction on your cap. Have you determined which is number 1? Worst case is you put all 4 leads on in that order. The move each one round 1 place clockwise until the engine runs (assuming that is your problem) If your dissy insta...

If your getting a good fire work sound out the exhaust it points to bad compression. Rather than the valve sealing the explosion in the cylinder it is leaking out and exploding in the exhaust. So instead of driving your piston back down its blowing your ear drums out. Ill admit that is a bit of a fi...

Dont want to open a can of worms here but use a fully mineral oil with a high ZDDP. The synth stuff doesn't transfer heat as well which is critical to these engines and the ZDDP will coat all your bearings can cam to keep them protected at high temps. 20w50 is more suites than a 10-40. Millers class...

oh yeah im with you now. Yes I was lifting the car but only very slightly which is what makes me think im not quite high enough
