golf harris

just replaced mine bought it from gsf too,i think its the same one as vw sells as its a bosch unit so same as oe. i get the same noises ,buzz.s after engine is switched off it to gurgles a bit and makes flushing sounds my friend used to work at vw says this is normal as its "just doing its job" so im not to worryed about it. also my coolant system is correctly bled and i have no air locks trapped .hope this is some help to you.

do it from the top mate its simple! no need for the angled "adaptor" all you need is a extension piece, think i used a 10" extension. ,crack the top bolt off the gb mount ,jack engine of the sump use a good bit of timber a foot long piece 4x2 is good to brace the sump ,jack up engine undo the 2 bolts which hold the gb mount in its cup ,undo the dog leg enough to wiggle out the mount pop new one in (i used a vibra technics mount 100% better than the oe mount) then put it back together as you pulled it apart .i did it in a hour but could half that now once you have done it after the first time i

no worrys dude, i knew i had one of the part no.s correct

beginning to think there was not many of these cars around here ! looks like i was wrong (or not looking hard enough

think i may well be going up to the show,will ask the wife to see if she wants to go too(as its her car!! will keep you posted mate.

got the aux pump from gsf a bosch unit the same as vw wanted to sell me for more than gsf sold it to me, £90.00, 15min fit ,pumps like crazy after engine is turned off ,job done ! thanks for your replys.

if your talking about the clip in side strips that push in the side skirt then part no. is 1H0853986B41 for drivers side (no this as i just bought one from vw) and 1H0853941 pass side (not 100% on this one but im sure if you give them the drivers side part no. they will offer you either one as they both come up on there parts computer) price £30.01 all in......... for one side!!

cheers chaps so i need to get that aux pump replaced asap as i defo cant recall that ever being on after engine is switched off since my girlfriend has owned the car! is it damaging the engine if it has not been running? so to replace it its just a case of unclipping the old part and popping in the new one? biliner we will have to hook up one afternoon as im just outside ipswich and i cant find anyone around here with the golf vr6 to chat too!!

want to change the water pump on the golf vr6 done loads of searching on the site but cant really find what i(way to many posts not enough time) need...here goes , i think i need to change the pump on the serpintine belt end ,i know how to do the belt but where is the pump located amongst(is that how you spell it ,lol) all the pulleys is it up top or at the bottom?. also where is this other pump as i cant see it or hear it running after i switch car off ,fuses ok, please could some one shed the light on this please as im getting paranoid its going let go on me or the missus .oh the car is not

i thought that obd1 (body kit) obd2(colour coded) but they say you learn something new every day!!! get that misty bottle out mate and give that coilpack a quick 'mist'

cheers for the price info sounds reasonable:)...for once

the body kit is the giverway and the non colour coded door rubs, think as a rule obd1 cars has these and the newer ,n reg on i think ( obd2 cars ) deleted the body kit and had colour coded door rubs plus other parts ie,coil pack, better throttle body....but your car from what i know probably has a dizzy cap so i would check that out as that will cause missfires also if its old and all the contacts have worn away,check it out!!

quite possible that you have a crack in your coil pack and moisture getting in causing missfires,but looking at your profile photo you have the older obd 1 model with a dizzy cap,think im right anyway... unless some of the bodykitted older ones had coilpacks too???

this happend to my missus 97 vr6, running fine one minute then firing on 3/4 cylinders and that was the coil pack had a hair line crack running across it hardly even noticeable really, changed it for a ford galaxy vr6 coilpack and all sweet after that.i also agree with what ,MJ vr6, said in his post that they can just call last orders and die with no visual signs!! get a second hand ford galaxy vr6 one to try as for some reason there a lot cheaper (but identical parts ,even has the vag stamp on it) than a second hand golf vr6 one,

cheers matey will get it ordered on sat now! what sort of £ am i looking at for these from the vw stealer?
