    It could be the air con pump or the tensioner bearing or as stated above the water pump. If its the water pump buy new if its the tensioner check a thread on here that shows how to grease the bearing and if its the AC pump send me your part number and I will do it £79 delivered with 3 months warranty.

    Smooth as a babies arse the piston end of my old bolt didnt fully extend it was jammed I fitted the new on and she is like a new car again. Just make sure and spin your crank with a 27mm socket 2 full rotations and then check your cams are lined up even on the timing lines before re fitting the rocker cover.

    OK Issue is the VR sounded a bit chainey and as there is 6 months tax left on I I though I will just do the rails up top and run her for a the course of the tax. The rail wasnt actually too bad when I got in there but I popped it back together and drove her home. Needless to say it was a bit off in the early revs and when going round one of my usual roundabouts I dropped her to 2nd and floored it as usual but got a complete loss of power and then all at once, and the car still sounded chainey on the top end. With this I am thinking arse you have skipped a tooth when slackening the chain. S

    Firstly dont get it wrong lol Check this well worth a read helped me do my first head gasket with no knowledge of it: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?1264409 Try here for parts:- www.vwspares.co.uk

    Well decided to replace the drive shaft today and the top guide rail as it was broke and I dont want to take it off the road until the tax runs out to do the chains. A bit tough even getting a low level jack under it:- Also dont forget to slacken the bolts before getting her in the air as I have a habbit of forgetting The Culprit Done, Also got rid of the "Modified Airbox" The car sounds a fair bit quieter which makes long journeys at 60 far more enjoyable when the kids are in the car:- Also have an issue I did the top guide rail today and put the engine back together. She seems to be a

    I am not sure the E is the predecessor to the C?? Once all sensors are confirmed by vag com to be good get your original pump fitted. Then clear Fault codes on your ECU. I had a customer looking one of these pumps and they were quoted over £1000 for it from VW. If that doesnt sort it a lad has done some soldering fix on his pump.

    No idea mate I just know as people have bought VR engines off me on an exchange basis and when the y show up with their Sharan engine and compare they are completely different up top!
  17. Dave_ciw
    The Sharan has a liquid cooled cylinder head with extra ports for the cooling system to flow. There is also extra breathers on the manifold of the Sharan. The blocks are the same AAA but the heads are different.

    They are a wired amplified headset mate its like being there nothing comes near them. and surround sound you can hear people re loading through walls and then fMJ them its amazing I cant stress the quality of this headset mine was £90 and I would def recommend them as they are cheaper now. Honestly cant promote them enough what model have you got i was thinking about X41 wireless jobbies I have the earforce PX21 it cost me £90 so a new wireless set isnt an option yet or the wife will go nuts lol

    I grew up in Holywood and moved to East Belfast due to work commitments. I played rugby at ravenhill for the school cups final against Gransha and we hammered them to warm the crowd for the combined provinces of Northern Ireland vs South Africa. I see Ravenhill services in one of your pictures lol
