[mocal set-up]

OKAY...

im keeping the stock HE

what way around does the extension tube go? as ive read this is critical and if wrong can cause terminal problems

[mocal set-up]

aahh that i did not know! thanks

[mocal set-up]

bump

anyone got the part number for the early VR ally end cap?

everywhere i look it brings up the later plastic type

[shop4volkswagen.co.uk]

website i found through my local dealer network

supply genuine parts

website easy to use just type in part number and it finds it

counter prices plus post. BUT i ordered a temp sender yesterday afternoon and it arrived this morning

good for people like me who cant get to a dealers in the week for parts needed for the weekend

[removing oil cooler]

sweet saves me a few quid

cheers

[removing oil cooler]

pro'lly a stupid Q but do i need to drain the oil before removing the OE oil cooler?

just thinking it will save me an oil change when im doing another when i R32 sump it

[Manifold wrap]

i got some stuff off ebay came with some metal cable ties too

there's a few threads on here about doing it

dont think you can avoid taking it off though

[mocal set-up]

has anyone got a part number for the ali end cap? cant find one on thinkauto

also with the new cooler fitted what will the oil capacity go up to?

[mocal set-up]

bit of this and that. got loads of bits waiting to go on at the moment

you run a garage then or just got a well equipped workshop?

[mocal set-up]

im getting the bits for my oil cooler together

gonna be keeping the OE heat exchanger to help warm the oil on start-up

as im keeping it will i need the alloy end cap or can i keep the stock one?

only ask cos ive heard if youre binning the OE HE you have to use the alloy end cap but as im keeping it can i use the stock one?

thanks

[can anyone show me an eaton m90 supercharger]

see a few builds where they have been mounted in place of the a/c compressor

think there's a company in germany or austria that makes the bracket and intake adapter

[So who's runnin the widest rims???]

yeah i had to get my rear discs redrilled to 5x112 otherwise they wouldnt work. its all in the offsets though! you can get them under just folded arches with a little work

used 215/35 but shouldve gone 205/40 really

[So who's runnin the widest rims???]

yeah fine, took a little persuading!

they were BBS RF's. like RS's but with a different centre design

[So who's runnin the widest rims???]

briefly had 9.5x16 on the rear but then i sold the wheels
