Rocker gasket and bolts part numbers?
geo7087 replied to geo7087's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Brilliant Thanks! -
Basically im changing my plastic rocker cover to a metal rocker cover i bought, realised i need the correct rocker gasket and rocker bolts, has anyone got part numbers or links as to where i can get these bits? thanks
-
Recently ive finally got my vento front on, to cut a long story short at the last minute before a small car show that was local my early de-badged grille still hadn't arrived.... grrr, so sourced a later style debadged grille, im happy with it as a temp measure, but desperate to get an early grille Also colour coded the fog ducts, and as you can see in the below picture now have colour coded my show plates with my forum name on them also thanks to Ben Seabrook i have a Metal rocker cover coming so the engine bay will be taking up a black and Polished theme following the Black and red previou

Awesome
-
Cheers buddy, debating keeping the comps and just spacing em out with thinner tyres all round, maybe a 185/35 all round. either that or look into White Borbet A's
-
Jusy inacse anyone gets this problem too ive just found a VW vortex link after discovering a part number on the plug http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?670838 This has part numbers for all the bits as it seems all the parts are listed seperately
-
Ideal, thanks for your help
-
perfect! You dont by any chance know of a part number or a description? or could there be a part number on the plug itself?
-
on my OBD2 VR6 theres a broken wire on the plug, that goes into the MAF i've soldered it but it keeps breaking as its broken right on the plug and theres sod all wire to work with Does anyone know what that plug and cableing is classed as and a part no or links etc? really need to get one sorted as im sick of soldering in my engine bay every other week haha, thanks

might be worth getting a spare to get painted me thinks, do you know if base model ones are the same as the VR or not?
-
This is true The black Plastic at the front of the engine bay that the grille clips into.... does anyone know how thats removed? ideally i wanna colour code it but ive got a bad feeling the rad, fans etc are attached to it
-
some pictures of recent on-goings Smacked sump... need to replace this Vento bonnet and headlights (smoked by me with black vinyl) Broken headlight held together with selotape.... lol Engine bay so far, have to get the black leads back on, a few stainless bits to come, need a smaller filter and metal rocker cover to have polished up Foglight air intake duct things are being painted same colour as the car and tow strap more than likely being removed

heaters are hot-ish lol, water was like 2 foot? but cars epic low
-
really? hope so its not down on power or massively dribking coolant, the coolant is leaking but i know my expansion tank is faulty planning to do a coolant flush anyway as my expansion tank is rank and currently only have water... lol
-
do short trips to work yeah, literally like 1 and a half miles, occasionally do trips for a few hours also though
-
this is a bit of a strange one but i really feel my Headgasket is now fooked... Symptoms are as follows Very small amount of Mayo on underside of oil cap Water in expansion tank frothy and bubbling when revved Water in expansion tank pressurised, goes to blow every time you take the cap off Now the reason why its strange is because of 2 things Firstly i have a minor oil leak, possibly from the sump, had to drive through deep water with the cornwall floods the other day to get to work, have only noticed the mayo since then, could water have forced itself into the sump? Secondly a fair while ago

Thanks Ben ill look into both B19 DRG, still not certain, ive had an odder of 3k cash, so its that or sell the TT comps for 300 quid which ive been offered too and go for a wheel change in the new year
-
ok so heres the current issue doing my head in on the VR the temp gauge in the car does not read, at all, does not go up stays at the very bottom the fan will cut in once the ignition is off, even if the car has only been turned on then immediately off when cold, it will then stay on for a good 5 to 10 minutes at leats before dyeing out, it does this everytime the ignition has been switched off after ignition has been on. I havent noticed the fans kicking in whilst the cars bee driving either but dont seem to have any obvious overheating issues that im aware of? ...help! lol
-
if you end up getting rid of the jacket mark any chance i can get first refusal on it? been trying to source one for far too long thought about doing the VW badge on the rocker blue?
-
to answer the above strap is for looks only, but im still really undecided.. lol performance wise it does seem much more responsive with a panel filter over open cone and so much smoother! i had the manifold fitted by a garage... took them about 3 hours... lol, fucking insane, but there we go, its done now!
-
Looks great Mark
-
a few small updates, Manifold Its fitted, finally, sounds bloody immense, not yet heatwrapped, goinjg to do that at a later date whilst its fitted to the car, will be more tricky but just wanted to get it on badly K and N Panel Panel filter fitted, bought it brand new, sounds a little different, and combined with the mani and a recent oil change the car drives smoothly and sounds like a bloody animal TRS Strap Marmite modification beware, im not 100% on it yet, i can guarantee everyone else probably hates it... but here it is and finally i need opinions, do i or do i not paint the engine
-
Thats looking bloody lovely mate! Really liking the blue in the bay, nice stuff
-
Lowered it more to try and match up the arch gap, really sits nicely now, althought i still need to roll my arches! scrubs a tad... lol Got some half decent updated photos got a few bits coming for it now paydays come around again and hopefully stainless 6 branch will be fitted v shortly too. Comments welcomed
