    Just a quick one my leaking water pump will be replaced soon, as they will loosen the engine mounts to gain access. Would it be a good idea to uprate the front engine mount as I will be fitting supersprint exahust in the near future ? is there enough clearance to replace the engine mount?

    thanks for the advice I'll just take it to the gargage and get a quote, If its a bit pricey I'll sort it myself, just like getting involved as my uncle use to fix my car in the past and I ain't use to garage bills.

    Replaced my coolant housing last week and changed to the lower temp thermostat and found the car was running alot cooler and solved my coolant leak.

Only problem was when I returned home and noticed the Water pump has started to leak & a split CV bo

    Hi All, how is this done the best I have ever got is 27 MPG on a long run and I thought I was driving like me Gran, Short trips 5 - 10 miles struggle to get 20 MPG and thats driving in 5th gear guess its all that stop start traffic. Small price to pay for the performace (I think)

    I have the same problem on my corrado.VW told me they need to loosen the cables slightly and there is a template to re-adjust too, don't know the part number but I can find out. Back street gargage told me that somthing on the linkage has broke and needs replacing. I am skint at the mo so can't afford to take it in. Any ideas on home repair let us know.

    I found the best way was to get a cup of hot water and dip the hose in it prior to slipping it over the flange the heat gives it a bit more flex and they just slide over
