    look on the bonnet prop, you'll see a plastic plug removal tool on there. They are awkward bastards to use though, you can buy a metal one from vw if you have trouble with the plastic one. dave

    There is a geezer in my village with a VW caddy and i swear he has the same wheels, next time is see him i'll check and ask him for you, they may even be original caddy wheels. Dave

    Gav sorry to shout mate, i felt like this required 'caps lock'.lol. Clarkie obviously if you have a 2.9 engine you would have a 2.9 manifold, this would obviously work better because the manifold is designed for that engine with that cylinder displacement. My point is that putting a larger manifold on will hinder low down torque you might gain top end bhp but it will take you longer to get there. This is different if you have forced inducion. I was just trying to be friendly and stop people wasting time and money. Dave

    PUTTING A LARGER INTAKE MANIFOLD ON YOUR CAR WILL LOOSE YOU BOTTOM END AND POLISHED SURFACES WILL REDUCE AIRFLOW!!!, I CAN SEE WHY YOU WOULD THINK THESE THINGS WILL HELP BUT THEY DON'T, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY. AS FAR AS THE WHOLE MIRROR POLISHED INLETS TOPIC GOES, THINK ABOUT A GOLF BALL, WONDER WHY IT HAS DIMPLES ON IT??? ITS BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR BETTER...SAME GOES FOR SURFACE AERODYNAMICS THE AIR WILL TRAVEL OVER A ROUGH SURFACE BETTER THAN A SMOOTH BECAUSE AIR GETS TRAPPED IN THE ROUGH CREATING A SURFACE OF AIR WHICH OFFERS LESS RESISTANCE. DON'T BELIEVE

    Its something to do with your internet browser it means that you are able to recieve RSS feeds on your phone, maybe you have MSN messenger on your phone?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format) Check out the definition. I hope this helps Dave

    if you 've just had you chains done mate all that wiring would have been disrupted, i would take it back to the garage that you had the chains done at and tell them to check the wiring as its only been wrong since they pulled it apart.

    People are entitled to there opinions, even if there opinions are a load of shit.lol:)

    I used to have loads of these types of plans until i spoke to my friend thats a motorsport engineer(very clever guy, the type that designs F1 cars) and he made me realise that there is alot more to it and also i'm afraid to say that alot of the things that are on the market for tuning are basically cr*p, and alot of the things that are supposed to work actually dont. Basically the 2.9 manifold works with a 2.9 engine because its tuned to, someone has calculated the optimum intake manifold size that'll maintain a good air delivery pressure throughout the rev range based on the cylinder displace

    i'm actually excited for you!! Even if you can't put up picks straight away let us know what the wear was like, what reg is your VR ???
  12. dstyrrell
    its normal mate mine does exactly the same, especially after i've been nailing the sh1t out of it.
  13. dstyrrell
    waiting with anticipation. i'd be very interested to see the wear differences.

    Sorry i just look up and see you have 160K If you look after it i rekon it'll do those miles again, there was a geezer on vortex that had 250K on the clock and his was still fine, i'm a firm believer that regular oil changes are the key especially when higher milage. Dave
  15. dstyrrell
    How many miles have you got on the clock now ?
  16. dstyrrell
    i was thinking guys, rather than pissign about isn't it easier and more cost effective to just get a exchange engine for £1400(i'm sure thats what i was quoted). Better result in the end i think. Knowing my luck i'd get the chains done and have it all put back together and then the rings will go, or the little ends will need doing or some sh1t like that. God i'm negative need more prozac.

    hi

    Get a golf vr6, a passat=more car=more weight=less speed=less fun. Golf has a nice image and is still a cool looking car even though they are old now, a old passat is just an old passat if you catch my drift. Thats my opinion anyway mate, no doubt other people will love old passats and tell you to buy it, basically i think that you will have to decide yourself mate. Good Luck Dave

    92k still not done and everything sounds good, i won't bother until she rattles, if she rattles. i was speaking to a mate that works for VW and he's only ever known 1 VR thats had the chains snap and apparently it was a poorly maintained VR.

    Snow

    Unfortunately there is snow in Norwich, i hate it.

    i'd say its worth £1500, khan wheels aren't exactly cheap and its got highline leather, if it does go bang you could break it and make alot of your money back. I think that it looks a nice car, buy it, have it detailed and it will look worth twice what you paid for it. Dave
  23. dstyrrell
    gutted mate.
  24. dstyrrell
