dude WTF don't scrap it for that..... Get a sub frame from a scrap yard or ebay. Ive just scraped one that you could have had Changing that sub frame isn't that hard, I did it in about 5 hours including new rack and polly bushes, No need to remove the engine or anythink like that, Just support engine drop ball joint from wishbone not hub, Undo PAS pipes on back of rack (right bastard tbf) Undo engine mount bolts and remove, Then from inside the cab at your feet remove plactics, 2 13mm nuts that conect the rack to the stearing collom, Undo these, then undo 4 main subframe bolts and dr

haha your cars a track car isn't it? Bigger brakes would probably help as the standard one can't cope -
This is true, Its probably the fact your not really going to gain anything from it... Lots of money and time for no real improvement

I was thinking about that the other day after seeing an ed25 GTi engine' date=' much better solution over the coil pack [/quote'] Rob the coils from a 1.8T??? Would it work
-
The only reason people strech is for looks and to get nice wheel to arch aliment Its not as safe nor does it handle as well as it would with the proper size tryers If your into looks then you could keep them like they are but if you want to drive it hard higher it up abit and put proper fitted tyres on it
-
2nd this... Isn't a nice easy way of checking if the MAF is mullered is to disconnect it. If it runs better with it disconnected then that points towards replacing the MAF, Disconnect it and see what happens

nice rear door handles

yeah well the new pulley u have to fitt when u got stage two if u aint got ac ... doesnt quite line up and the belt hangs over the edge a bit Can't you space it out abit?
-
what he said, personally i think if you where looking at a mk4, spend the money you saved and put a charger on it, You will be able to sell the charger on hear quite easily if you deside to sell the car... i can imaging it would feel faster than a deisel and put a smile on your face
-
you've got the same car as me, The VR will feel silly fast compared, VR6 is the fastest car Ive owned and driven so i haven't got anything to compare ti with but i like it. tbf i want to go FI so it will be properly fast then

Can this wheel be repaired?
Phat VR6 replied to amazak's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering

Nope you just lift them out, Couldn't be more easy dude. Put the new ones in 10/40 oil and prime them before you put them in with plenty of oil Make sure the cam caps go back where they came from (number them) as you can't swap them around, Use torque wrench and tighten in order As long as you can do the timing your all good, If your high miles then you might aswell change the chains or atleast the guides ect while your down there run the engine up to temperature, turn off and after 10 minutes or so remove your rocker cover try putting a feeler gauge between the cam lobe and hydrolic tapp

Perhaps its broken.... Cleaning isn't going to fix it, If its coming up as hall sensor on vag.com or on a scanner then id change it for a new one personally.. Find out how much one is and if its not to pricey change it
-
Prity sure the hall sensor is the said cam sensor, Its at the top of the engine buy the cams lol, can't remember which side sorry. Ill go have a mooch inabit when i clean my car

no Even if you could noone will want to put there name to it, -
change the paint, Re trim the inside and it be nice, Have to say i think its slightly chavy atm, Im not even going to comment on the 15K lol
-
Stealth recommend not changing the front wishbone bushs, As they tend to keep failing, So much so he wouldn't sell them to me lol, Its upto you but Vince knows his stuff. Thought you might like to no
-
sounds like its the cam sencer to me, When these go down or become faulty it make it hard to start and runs ruff. Your right to check to make sure your getting spark first tho

good video but lacking my car lol

That rapid VW van off top gear.... Orr stretch VW camper van split screen with a scooby engine :-d
-
When the windows goes all the way up do you hear it go tight? Ive just changed these rubbers over on mine as old ones where rusty, haven't had any problems altho getting the seals to fit properly was a mare so it could be that there not sitting properly Could it not also be the switch? Does it happen when people use the N/S switch
-
oh if your changing the ball joints anyway then you got no choose lol.. Thought if you where just changing the wishbone and keeping the old ball joints you would have save your self some time and effort. Yep just undo that nut and give it a few taps, But tbh it normally needs a few hard whacks lol. Id do this first so you can pull down on the wishbone at the same time, You can normally get a pry bar in somwhere to give you more leavage down. If it still doesnt move then you can buy ball joint splitter than make it nice and easy (the finger thumb screw treaded type) You shouldn't have any pr
