    That is fitted there by VW. It is there to stop the vacuum of the inlet sucking excess oil from the breather.

    If you look at the end of the cams(not the sprocket end) there are cut outs in the end. You need to line these up level with the top surface of the cylinder head. Have a look at this picture found with a google image search: In the picture they have used 2 peices of 3mm thick alloy plate to align the cams.

    If you have a MK3, fitting a MK4 pedal is a NIGHtMARE. As there is a big metal dash bar restricting access to where you need to work. and the fuse box is VERY close too. It is almost impossible to get the room to work down there. The MK2 based cars are ALOT easier. The pedal box simply needs the throttle pedal removing, and a bracket welding on the MK4 pedal.

    Both engines are DBW, a MK4 ECU requires a MK4 pedal, and a MK5 ECU requires a MK5 pedal MK4 and 5 pedals are completely different.

    A MK5 engine has electric power steering, therefore it doesnt have a PAS hydraulic pump on the engine. To fit the MK5 engine you will need to use the hydraulic pump because this is the method the older cars use. To mount a PAS hydraulic pump on the MK5 engine you will need MK4 24v PAS bracket and pump. A MK5 engine also a returnless fuel system, which means there is no return fuel line and no fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail.

    The Aux water pump on a 4motion engine is on the front of the block. It sits between the AC pump and the oil filter housing.

    Try the slave cylinder
  8. UnitedMotorsport
    Correct. We offer products to make it easier for the DIY approach.

    Kev is right about the ECU. We can offer what is needed for engine converions which involve the ME7 ECU. There is no need to go to standalone management to run these engines. Immobiliser defeat and systems defeat too. We have several MK2 based cars running ME7 ECU's, all with ZERO fault codes. These include 1.8t, 24v and R32.

    The ISV allows air to pass through it, controlling the idle. It could be this air passing through the ISV making the noise? Just like a whistle?
  11. UnitedMotorsport
    That is true, but certainly not 30hp.

    If your planning to never go above 8psi then the 9:1 spacer is for you. If you plan to go higher boost in the future the 8.5:1 is best.

    Could it be the ISV (idle stabilisation valve?) This is located to the right of the throttle body as you look at the engine bay.

    That snippet is taken from an american based text, The car is question in that snippet is a 97 car, which is OBD2, yours is OBD1. Americans have VERY different emissions standards to us, and have secondary air injection on their OBD2 engined MK3 golfs. Hope this clears things up.

    This is only on MK4 and newer. This system isnt fitted to OBD1 VR6.

    Uprated Anti-roll bars.

    My guess is the lambda probe is shot.

    over fueling

    Likewise Tony. Thanks or the loan of the screwdriver.

    It was good to meet all the guys we all met, Jim: Goldie is still muttering about you getting into the 12's Who was it with the red 5 door mk2 that tagged along with us on the way home on the A43/M40/A34?
  23. UnitedMotorsport
    And the track was getting faster and faster as the night went on, which isnt normal. Well done Jim.
  24. UnitedMotorsport
    Yes
