What was that about fat greedy bastids?? [emoji23][emoji23]
-
Make sure breathers are clear and not split. A rocker cover that's breathing straight out to atmosphere and not via a diversion pipe can really stink in the car
-
A take off from the bottom rad hose would be the coolest supply
-
Yeah no problem mate, I wouldn't split the set up anyway, you'll find something, good luck [emoji106]
-
Don't stop, I want to see more!
-
And I'll have the quads [emoji106]
-
Personal preference mate that's all. I do quite like them if you use a standard badged grill actually. Just think they belong on a vento lol.

Bonnet headlights grill paint and a sanity check

Down the inner Wing to atmosphere. Nothing's connected to anything under my bonnet [emoji23] but seriously just tuck it away somewhere [emoji106]

There's a total of 3 plugs on the abs pump so maybe that's where your struggling
-
Leave it out and vent the breathers in that case. New PCV stuff is crazy money for what it is hence why mines te way it is
-
Being quite honest I haven't got a clue what the plugs for but mines always run a treat without it, no faults etc. when my fuel pump works that is
-
Unplugged and hanging in the wind lol, I was wondering where the fcuk that came from it was that long ago [emoji23]
-
Looking at the pic of your pump, furthest right (no 6 I'm calling it) goes to the front port of master. One closest to engine.
-
It does for sure yes, if your not worried about pad wear sensors, a simple bridge wire on this system will knock the light off. I once fitted black diamond pads which didn't have sensors and that's what I did. Worked back then anyhow. Most pad wear systems nowadays use the sensor as an earth onto the disc, whereas from memory these are different. I've got genuine bosch pads back in mine now with the sensors plugged in. I gotta say, it's a mammoth task fitting abs so fair play to you. ECU, looms, excited rings, pipe work, sensors and dash warning system etc. Also, number 6 port on pump is t

I should know but I don't for certain, I would think it does matter because it's relevant to the twin line safety system. If you burst a brake hose at the front driver side, you will still have limited braking, on the passenger side front and driver side rear. Opposite corners are normally piped independently. I'll see if I ca trace a bit further later on for you. Same goes with the 2 rear lines, they do need to be in the right places for the abs pump to apply and release the correct wheel when a lock up is detected.

Here's one I made earlier [emoji23]
-
2 right in the centre (3&4 in your pic) go to the back 5 in your pic is nearside front 2. Offside front 1&6. Master cylinder Sorry that's a bit vague but I can't trace mine much further than that without taking things out the bay lol

They're just the pics I took yesterday, I've got the door cards rear quarters and rear seats too. Looking for around £350 for the full set

Catch cans are effectively a means of venting to atmosphere, depending how they're piped up. It just means the oil spit that passes through the breathers is collected instead of making a mess anywhere. Just need to empty them out on service. Some people run a pipe from the rocker cover to a catch tank, then just stick one of those little mini k&n filters on the outlet, others run the outlet back to the inlet tract. The theory being, that the oil is collected in the tank, and only vapor is passed back to the throttle body. Venting to atmosphere does ensure the inlet tract stays dry and oil
-
No problems, it's only there to recirculate crank case pressure or blowby as the yanks call it. It's just what down draft the piston rings cause and any compression passing rings in a poor engine. You may find you get oily wishbone because there will always be certain amounts of oil "spit" from the breathers. Hence the oil in the ops inlet tract.

Got black leather recaro set

Pcv valve can be removed but it's advised to run your breather pipe to a catch can, or straight out to atmosphere with a piece of long pipe down to the chassis rail. That mesh in the pcv valve is intended as a flame trap to stop any unwanted hot oil firing in the inlet tract. Personally I don't really think such a problem is too likely but that's what it's for. It also does a good job of stopping too much oil splatter into the inlet. Mines long gone and at present I've got a piece of samco carrying the crankcase fumes down to the road but a catch tank or fresh clean pcv is by far the better

The central locking system on a golf is vacuum operated, I'm sure if a rado is the same but make sure there isn't any vacuum pipes disconnected withing The rear quarter panel

RUST!!! Thank you kind sir, for making me feel better about the rust I've just found [emoji106]
