  1. Least it's behaving more now . Cars hey u gotta love um Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I'd be interested in a set of these Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Where bouts are you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. had a quick look on the search but how much bulls*it is it too run a s3 box? i kno its a custom prop n the rear diff hanger /frame is a custom cut n weld job ... i read a thread on someone that did a mk2 im sure
  5. well over fueling will more than likely cause bore wash .. as said contaminated oil is useless as it cannot do the job it needs too.. personally id put it back how it was hen it was working fine ... as changed the oil ASAP and run a stabilizer like the Lucas products ... hope for the best .. why did u run the recirc without it being plumed back in the other side ive gotta ask >?
  6. if you call a key specialist .. there's one i use in Birmingham .. he can plug the car in and tell you which part of the system is not communicating correctly then you know which part either needs re coding or changing .
  7. See I thought about converting the rear myself to run different hubs .. I even looked at using a mk4 rear frame .. U ever ran the polo stubs mike? Is there much of a size difference in the mk4 discs compared to the mk3? I was just gonna what you said , mk4 caliper, drilled n grooved disc n braided hose .. Wanna get something sorted soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. So bought some 17's that will be going to be repaired n then ill paint them myself because I'm tight lol .. Got some calipers n carriers for my brake setup on front just gotta buy new discs n pads .. Looking at mk4 Ali rear calipers for the back .. Sand down n paint my calipers this week N go my gearbox n engine oil change Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. If the reg is fucked and your going to replace it anyways .. Undo the 10mm bolts and remove completely .. Then force the metal brackets on the reg in towards the middle of the door.. The rubber clamps will either move and let the window come free or the window will drop so that you can access the 10mm nuts that clamp the window to the runners Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Apparently the difference is the mk4 is Ali where as the mk3 is steel and the mk4 is not prone to seizing . I have read somewhere about a conversion using bigger discs on the rear BUT as the mk3 uses a taper bearing on the rear I don't fully understand how they work it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. wondering what is the best rear brakes people are using on the VR6's n turbos ... been toying with the ide of modifiying a pair of hubs to work/ fit but wouldnt mind saving myself some time if anyone has any bright ideas... ideally i wanted to run 345mm r32 front n rear brakes .. ive just purchased a 312mm edition 30 brakes ... the discs are scrap as there 5 x 112 but obv 5x 100 will be fine as there still 312mm dia... i kno i need the 6mm plate to centralize the caliper .. so its just rears im left with to sort out ... come on lads whos running what .. whats works n what doe
  12. Take the connectors from the doors they just twist n pull out .. Pull the central locking vacum line .. You can now with the door card removed pull more of the door loom through .. Slide the rubber boot back an inspect for damaged wires .. Also be aware the reg can look fine but there is a clip on the top life that slots into the metal bar of the reg that brakes n jams the small roller wheels that guide the cables .. The lights dim because power is being transfered to the motor and it's consuming voltage so you either have a jammed mech or a weak motor .. Scrap yard jobby .. I have 2 motors an
  13. fit a spacer plate n split mk4 head gasket so u can go turbo
  14. kool cheers for the heads up
