    Steering

    kilokilla replied to JasonBourne's topic in The MK2

    All you need is the knuckle that goes from the rack to the bottom of steering column for a power steered mk 2 or rado mate not the whole column

    If you have bolt on calliper carriers on your mk2 you can get the early 280mm vr6callipers and carriers and use g60 280mm discs aswell mate .

    Did you check the oil cooler on front of engine next to oil filter mate because there are 2 small hoses to that.Carl.
  5. kilokilla
    also take the little air hose off of the fuel pressure regulator and make sure there is no fuel coming thru it as they sometimes go down and check all the wiring is ok to the maf sensor plug as these can sometimes break aswell.Carl.
  6. kilokilla
    I take it you have started car and had a good look at the fuel pipes aswell to make sure its not leaking anywhere as a drop in fuel pressure could cause your problems.

    The second fan is connected to the first 1 with a rubber band there is no motor on it and it runs with the first 1 and that does seem to be a bit bizarre it might be a faulty temp sender which is the 4 pin yellow one.for fans oh and personally i cant see it being a prob with thermostat.carl.

    Well it is possible as far as im aware check out your local autotrader and generally there is some1 in them advertising mileage correction they should be able to sort you out.Carl.

    Its in the bulkhead mate where the wiper motor is under them black plastic bits.Carl.

    have you plugged the thin red wire from engine loom into fuse box mate as this can cause this problem and to be honest without seeing your setup its a bit hard to say there is a few reasons why it may not be working if you can get it up to me somehow and everything is in place im sure i could have you driving it away same day.Carl.

    It does sound like head gasket but most garages should be able to test it for you for a small fee mate just to be sure and it only takes 10 mins to check if engine hasnt got to warm.and yes vr6s do condensate up a bit and get mayo in cap specially if only used on short journeys but generally only a thin creamy layer if its quite thick then it would again suggest head gasket and you should get done sooner rather than later because it will be seriously messing with the viscosity of your oil and can cause some bad damage.Carl.

    cool thats the relay i figured it would be i just thought it ws called the ignition relay ive had a few probs with them on the vr6s never had to actually buy 1 cos ive always had spare 1s round the yard so thats why i wasnt sure what it was called and bad connections on relays is quite common did you just bend your prongs a bit on relay or did you get a new 1 and sorry you had to buy that new hose mate but as you noticed it does cause some wierd running issues mate oh and will be good to see you when you do need some more work doing mate .

    Mmmm thats not good mate they are not done up tight eneough if you can turn by hand and you risk them dropping on ther own and i agree its easy to mangle them if you are not careful you are better off trying to get proper key for the job.Carl.
  14. kilokilla
    Its easy to tell the difference by looking at callipers. Where brake hose joins them 280 mm has a flexi hose which screws straight into calliper whereas 288mm has a rectangle headed flexi hose with a seperate bolt to attach it to calliper just put steering on a full lock and get your head down in there and have a look allthough if your car is quite low you may have to take wheel off to check.

    Mmmmm dont know how good il be but il have a go at the how to guide ive done eneough of them now and i really hope i can do it a litte quicker than that clare allthough i dare say if you consolidated your time into days and worked it out its probably not taken you very long to do especially for novices and i bet you are well buzzing now that its up and running and thinking about a couple of months at 2 days a week is 16-18 days and im sure you havnt been on it every single weekend so you are looking at about 14 days i reckon which isnt bad for first go at all .Carl
  16. kilokilla
    So if im getting that all right basically they are saying its the ignition relay that is messing about and causing the problem allthough they dont actually stipulate which relay it is as far as i can tell or am i not reading that right mate .Its just its handy to know these things .

  18. kilokilla
    no mate only obd2 ecus are coded it will simply plug straight in and your off but make sure it has the same part numbers on it.Carl.
  19. kilokilla

  20. kilokilla
    Any joy yet mate or is it still the same.
  21. kilokilla
    looks alright mate but do you think your gonna be able to keep up with me on the way back in your punto lol.
  22. kilokilla
    The raceland ones come in 3 different lengths i always get the longer ones and then trim down accordingly but that doesnt look like raceland 1 and looks pretty short to me in the pic best bet is to pm them and ask what length they are then measure your cat to compare as long as length is ok they should just bolt on.
  23. kilokilla
    rIght mate on the back of keylock is a little alloy rod/paddle which snaps and stops you unlocking door easily obtainable from vw for not a lot of money just a few quid the window winder if you look at back looks like it has a plastic washer at back of handle this washer piece which is approx 5cm wide will slide halfway out of position and then the winder will slide off but you dont need to remove that to fix the doorlock in the door opening area right at the end of door handle is a screw torque drive on most mk3s undo this and slide handle towards front of car and wiggle abit (can be fiddly)
  24. kilokilla
    lol no worries mate i dont see why people have to interfere when they obviously aint trying to help they are just trying to be obnoxious and aggravate people personally i think they should wind there neck in and only add there 2 pennies worth when they have something helpful to say.
  25. kilokilla
    mate try that hose first you wouldnt believe the issues it causes to the ecu and id be surprised if the abs affects it its on a different loom.Carl.
