If you dont want to remove the body completely just open the throttle and clean as far as you can.
-
Cool if you need some help / pics just give us a shout
-
Its held on by 4 6mm allen bolts. Plus you need to remove a couple of hoses and the throttle cable etc. Takes about 10mins to remove. Once the body is off simply clean the throttle out with some cleaning fluids and a rag. Really is very simple and should cost no more that 1/2 - 3/4 hour labour at most. £129 is quite frankly a massive rip off chap. I would go else where and save a load of green.

I'd say thats a bit of a bargain.

I ve heard a few reports that the new mintex etreme pads arent supposed to be that great? However the new generation green stuff pads seem to get good reviews.
-
Nice one Haydn. Don't forget to keep us updated on prices and possible gains etc.
-
Have a look on vw vortex I think Billdon motorsport have/are developing a kit for the 12v.
-
I believe 300bhp is fine for the standard box. O and with that amount of power an LSD is probably in order.
-
I believe they are there to warm the throttle. I have mine disconected and joined together. Now the throttle body never see's 90+ degrees (coolant temp) with them disconnected so it can only be a good thing.

URGENT please help manifold issue

As above all the lower sections are the same -

Yep straight swap. the corrado throttle body with make the accel pedal a fair bit stiffer due to the spring set up. As for gains hard to say depends on other mods but generally speaking should yield a few ponies top end. If your after a corrado manifold to go with it let me know as I ve got a spare one and its also a straight swap.
-
I had exactly the same problem chap. And you cant buy the cap from vw god knows I tried!! In the end I simply cut the original down and extended the tread.
-
Yeah not used mine in two years of driving it. Engine doesn't make peak power there.
-
Its got a petrol station very near, thats about it ... lol. Its on a small industrial estate nothing really within walking distance unfortunately.
-
Yeah there are a few about (h)
-
Wee tapping noise from engine
Steve @ replied to Norrisvr6's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Same thing -
Get a compression and leak down test done. Did you replace all the valve stem seals?
-
Stealth Racing are the people to speak to.
-
Yeah thats right. As for power hard to say exactly, roughly 190-200bhp on a 2.8 OBD1.
-
Try Greenlight, best around for me and great with mods.
-
Not heard of this being a problem. Mind you it is recomended that you uprate your engine mounts before fitting the manifold.
