    Hi Rog, i think this tensioner is the later one thats needed, i believe that its the early MK4 one. http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=615 good luck with the build. s

    Thanks, i have been checking up and it seems they only work if the remote mirror switch is in the middle, can anyone confirm as i will be checking when i get in it to go home? cheers s

    Hi All, i have electric mirrors how can i tell if they are heated? they dont work currently (if they are!) do they run on their own separate fuse, where on the board is it? cheers steve

    Hi All, the headling (behind\under drivers side visor) has come away from the foam backing, i have some glue spray but to do it properly it looks like i need to remove the lining and do it outside of the car. as its coming out anyway where can i get a replacement if the patch job goes horribly wrong? also any suggestions on the easiest way to remove? cheers steve

    i have a set of standard cams if you dont want to send yours, dont know what they are worth though? s

    Hi Mate, new they should be £450 odd, sure that your not looking at the reprofiling of your originals? that works out about 225? Kent "Sports" cams are for Fast Road applications - no other mods are required. "Sports R" cams will produce more power but Kent recommend that you also fit a performance exhaust, air filter and a chip. The "Sports" cams will idle better than the "Sports R" cams and will be 'better behaved around town'. The "Sports R" cams need to be 'worked harder', having a higher rev range. After each cam or cam kit are the letters Ex, O/R or BL. Their mean

    Hi, Kent Cams have been around for years, back in the day of mk2 escorts and xr2's more fordy than VW but a good make. I don't know anyone running them on a VR let us know how they go.

    Hi I think it was engine number aaa217001 and up was single chain. It's best to use the later guide which I believe is compatible with earlier chains. S

    OBX LSD's

    ssaunders replied to 90LF's topic in Transmission

    Hi, from what i have read the OBX stuff needs shimming and some modification to fit correctly. the 3.68 drops the gearing across the range eg before 35 in 1st after 30 i have had mine done but also had a diesel 5th gear installed to bring back the 5th gear cruising. costs are gear box out, new bearings and seals (for rebuild) buying the LSD (upto 800~) you will also need the ARP diff bolts (75) and about 60 quid for the 3.68 as the box is coming out why not do chains and clutch (more money!) there was someone selling a whole 02a box on the classifieds with all apart from the 5th gear for 950,

    Vince@stealth (http://www.stealthracing.co.uk/products.php) has done mine twice now and no complaints. It's a good half day and not for the faint hearted as your 16+ year old car has its nuts revved off, and your not at the wheel! Good luck S
