Check the resistance with an volt meter on ohm setting

On a 95 mk3 golf. I wouldn't expect any such luxury as economy or sport mode. Pic of the switch your referring too??

Use a wideband afr reader to check fueling via your exhaust. If it's ok then not to worry.
If the ecu is not registering a signal from the lambda then it should switch to closed loop and just use the fuel map rather than use the lambda
You may find you haven't fitted the correct sensor. Lambda's aren't all the same. You'd need to find the correct matching sensor from oem.

Any way of checking your afr's on cruise??

Depends on the limits of the block. The machine shop should have all the specs for tolerances regarding minimum thickness for cylinder walls.
I don't particularly know the answer. But I would think that as they already do a 2.9. Then boring it out to accommodate larger pistons there by making it a 3.0. This wouldn't be a massive difference in piston size to accommodate 0.1-0.2 increase!!!

Speak to the machine shop doing it. They'll confirm if it's useable. The head will have a minimum thickness before its to thin and will cause the valves to hit pistons.

Simple answer yes

A properly skimmed head and decked block. With New bolts and gasket will seal correctly if fitted correctly. No need for any kind of sealant.

They may have different threads. But I've not found any car I've worked on to have this.

I'd like to think they are same length or you'd have steering problems!!!

Have tried fitting a stereo in the car today but came across a strange problem.
The std harness was connected to a radio harness to plug directly to stereo. But the ignition and power were wired directly to power. I know vw switched the power and ignition from a std setup. But unless the stereo is wired with both going to power only. Then I have nothing.
I have tried a volt meter to see what happens on the std harness. But I get nothing when I earth it and turn ignition on.
Ideas??

I can set it up but want to know std settings for a base setting to start from.
Thx

Relay or earth would mean they don't go up no matter what you do as its part of the same circuit. Your just using an alternative switch.

Is there a breather on the catch can?

Pcv valve should be inline on a hose from rocker cover. It should go back into the intake system. If you've now fitted a catch can. You need to block where the hose was going to on the intake side.
So what you've done is fit New hose from rocker to can then back to intake??

I would suggest something isn't seated properly and it's sucking in to much air. Or your new gaskets have a leak.

Sorted. Despite it being a vacuum type. It's wired as a positive system. And the green and grey wires in the car are wrong way round.
I kept locking then dead locking it. Not unlocking it lol

Ok but the other info I have for fitting a cl kit to the golf shows 2 wires for open/close. But my wiring diagram for a pump shows connecting 1 wire!!

Where is you wideband located? If it's in the tail pipe then I've seen plenty between 16-21 on idle. But it's fine when wot.
You seem to be testing half a job. Get it all plugged up and any leaks you know of sorted 1st then take it for a drive to test for correct readings.
