    Hey My ABS light does not come on at all (mk3 VR6 OBD2), wondering if theres anyone with VAG-COM in surrey, dorking/leatherhead area who'd be willing to check for any codes for me?! muchos gracias!

    I'm in leatherhead, but will mostly be working on the car in westcott.

    excellent, thanks for that! I think I'd just aboput worked it out for myself but its good to confirm it! hopefully get it on and running this weekend now!

    just wondering of anyone happens to know the internal diameter of the top rad hose, the one with the T off to the expansion tank? the OD looks to be about 40mm so I'm guessing its going to be around 36mm but just wondered if anyone knew?!

    yep pin 22 is, but I'm after the switched power, which in the link says is a thick red/blue in the ecu loom, which I don't have so I'm assuming as its a corrado its OBD1 where as I'm OBD2! so just trying to find out either the colour or pin No for switched power for an OBD2 ecu. thanks

    yep pin 22 is for the green/black rpm signal. yeah I'm OBD2 so if you could check that would be awesome! cheers

    thanks I've already seen that but couldn't see a thick red/blue wire? I'm wondering if theres a difference between OBD1 and 2? any idea what the pin number is? thanks again though!

    Hey, can someone tell me which colour wire or pin No is switched power to the ecu? I've got the green/black rpm signal wire and the thick brown for earth. or is there anywhere else to run the switched power from? cheers

    Hi, I've been trying to think of, and do a search but can't really remember what I'm looking for.... the top rad hose that 'T's of to the expansion tank. I'm sure there was a ford part of some sort suggested to replace the origional vw part which often breaks, or an aftermarket peice, does any one know what I'm talking about? a part number would be very handy if you do! cheers

    ok while changing them have encountered a rather difficult problem, hopefully the picture will explain, basically the top of the strut has split so can't hold it to undo the nut! any ideas???!!!

    rubber mount: 357412331A - £12.91 + VAT bearing: 1J0412249 - £5.95 + VAT

    Not to hand mate, but I'll stick them up when I get the chance.

    well gone and got some oe ones fron vw anyway, need to do them this weekend so can't wait around for some poly ones. Came in at about £45 for both sides with bearings. I guess we'll have to see what they say about these ones, though I have remembered that a check I had done at the phirm also advised on top monts so maybe they are gone after all?

    Hi, car failed its MOT on one top mount and the other was an advisory, but searching back through some old posts it looks like mk3 top mounts often wrongly get failed/advisorys as they do have some play as normal? I'm wondering wether to go back and ask for a retest on them, and explain that its a common mistake? anyway if I do need new tops mounts I'm looking at some uprated poly ones from venom, or do I stick with standard vw? cheers for any help!
  15. dubmad
    great, thanks!
  16. dubmad
    is this the same for OBD1 and 2? cheers
  17. dubmad
    can I ask why you wouldn't shave off the hump? is it because it will change the air flow on part throttle?
  18. dubmad
    ok so mostly its what other jobs to do whilst i'm in there? I've got new plugs and leads to go on, are there any other things it'd be rude not to do, check, clean etc?! also do you need to replace the gaskets, what parts do I need, and where to get them, do GSF do them? where is best to mount the vacuum tank, and ecu, where have others got them? thanking you!
  19. dubmad
    ah ok cool thanks lads, so what are the differences between the throttle elbows?
  20. dubmad
    how can you tell if a schrick is for OBD1 or OBD2? are there any serial numbers to check or are there obvious parts differences? ta muchly!
  21. dubmad
    cool thanks guys, yeah I didn't think it was the matrix as I haven't been loosing any water. will check all the areas suggested!
  22. dubmad
    my footwell is getting damp, what, and where, are the most common causes, and places for leaks? any advice appreciated cheers!
  23. dubmad
    Thanks for the replys ! managed to get the important bit, oil change done at the weekend, just got the filter and fuchs oil from GSF, got the rest of the bits and bobs too plugs and leads so sill do them as I get time, will be interested to see if theres any noticable improvement?! oh and can anyone tell me if the fuel filter plastic bracket is the same on any other models, like the gtis? mines falling to bits. cheers
  24. dubmad
    I beleive this is for the yearly service. Just wondering what work is recommended? all filters? fuel filter also? carbon filter? plugs? what type are specified? leads? coolant change, brake fluid? also what oil is best to use, synta silver seems to have been discontinued and fuchs recommended in its place? so any advice on the work to be carried out and best products to use would be great, cheers in advance!
