[External Oil Cooler]

Bump...May be a silly question but how much oil will I lose taking off the existing cooler cap to replace with my elongated bolt and sandwich plate?

[Golf Mk3 bodywork]

Personally if I was to smooth a bumper I would keep it stock and run indicators in place of fogs in the lower bumper cut out

Lights in the front bumpers are:

Indicators (outermost lights)
Fog lights (if fitted, innermost towards the number plate)

 

So the indicators would need relocating

Sounds good bud! I'm looking forward to getting to a few meets this summer

Today I fitted colour coded bumpers and side mouldings, vento front, my Miltek decat and my 2.5 inch Jetex exhaust system, and my short shifter from Besters can't wait to give the car a nice wash tomorrow and drive the beast over the weekend <3

 

Short shift was one of the best things I did to mine

Managed 6 mpg according to the computer up the hillclimb at RRG last year

I had to unblock mine and just poured boiling water into the sunroof drain channel and got a long sink unblocking spring divice from a local hardware store. Twisted it and pulled out so much crap then got burnt by the boiling water that flowed out haha

Rusted floor around one of the rubber grommets?

Spot on. Thanks mate

I also used the UM tube and fitted a Mocal thermostatically controlled sandwich plate to feed a 19 row Mocal oil cooler.I never even thought about the benefits of using the original cooler to heat the oil until matey at UM sais so.

Looks trick and no clearance issues

 

Those photos are spot on. Can't wait to get mine sorted but other issues to solve first so it's on the back burner

My girlfriend loved my Bora as it was comfortable and had heated leather seats.

She hates the VR as its noisy, uncomfortable and cold.

Never causes arguments as my money is mine for the golf and hers is hers for girl stuff.

As long as the rent is paid and we have food its fine

[External Oil Cooler]

Might have got myself confused. Does oil enter the cooler from the cap side or block side?

So oil could run through the tube to the cap then through the sandwich plate then through the top of the factory cooler then to block?or other way round??

[External Oil Cooler]

Bumping this.

I have my United Motorsport tube but I'm a bit confused how the oil gets cooled/heated by the stock cooler as the holes don't seem to line up with the stock cooler only the sandwich plate. Unless I have got confused.

Thanks

Looking online it shows the kits with large flat washers and small spacer sleeves. Mine didnt have the large washers but had the small sleeves and could only line the bolt up with lower one. 

[Wheel guru...advice needed]

I used adapters previously and didnt really notice any difference if I'm honest. These were on 16's though.

I would say 18's will be too big and the tyres will be very low profile and give bad ride quality.

[Mk3 Poly Wishbone Bushes help]

Same

 

You could only get the bottom washer in too?

I'm intrigued, what's dash command?? Any pictures I setup?

 

Dash command reads a few outputs from the ECU. It gives coolant temp, voltage etc

Have a look on app store for some screenshots

[Mk3 Poly Wishbone Bushes help]

I'm still struggling with this, just found that the powerflex bush had like an inner insert inside of the other insert. Can somebody shed some light

 

Thats what I was referring to. Could only fit the bottom one but they made the bolt snug in the bush

[Obd2 Elm327 bluetooth scan tool]

Can you clear codes etc

Many thanks for your reply?

I haven't tried as I have a code reader. But I believe there is the option to

[Obd2 Elm327 bluetooth scan tool]

You can use Bluetooth with android but not iphone.

For iphone you need a wifi one. I have it working with dash command in my mk3.

[Aftermarket coolant temp gauge/sender]

They werent working haha

All seems sorted now just would be easier to keep an eye on. Didnt know if there was a blank on the block or anything to run a sender from.

[Aftermarket coolant temp gauge/sender]

I have the phone app but I figured it'd be easier to have something permanent that doesn't need connecting every time.

I like to keep an eye on the actual temp since having problems with my fans.

[Aftermarket coolant temp gauge/sender]

Has anyone fitted one?

I knowing can run an inline sensor but I don't really want to cut my samco hoses.

Cheers guys

Have a google there's a few threads on edition 38 about them

[Mk3 Poly Wishbone Bushes help]

When I fitted my polybushed wishbones they came with little spacers that say around the bolt too and bottom.

Although only the bottom ones go in otherwise the bolt doesn't line up

[Achieving the right wheel camber]

Yeah that's the ones.

They're made up off two numbered discs that spin.

To add 1 deg of camber you spin to line up 20/20 at the top.
