    In what way? The reading it takes or the running? It's too close to your throttle body and will cause conflicting readings across your maf sensor Hmm I'm unsure where to locate it then as the forge filter kit I'm running puts it in that location on a mk5. How much further away does it need to be ideally?

    Thought I would wake this thread up a little as its been a while due to work reasons and attended vw days in France so working on the mk3 took to the back burner for quite a bit. Anyway how it stands at the moment. Took delivery of my ecu back from storm developments Purchased the dubpower decat pipe to compliment the six branch Purchased the jetex stainless 2.5" system Fitted a moroso inline coolant filler and cap Coilovers fitted front and rear Bosch r32 lambda sensor purchased As I write this the car is with a local specialist having few last bits of wiring jobs doing and mot preparation so

    I believe its also the backrest aswell, the pins that lock it in place, personally i would remove as much of the mk4 fixings and side pins on backrest and transfer your mk3 ones over that way you can locate the seats in position and see where the mk3 fittings need to be located/welded
  15. cornishvr6
    I looked into this and they will fit but with minor modifications, i believe you have to cut off the mounts and reweld in place to suit the mk3 fixings,

    Im a branch manager for a nationwide clothing company in a sleepy cornish fishing village, other than that im volunteering for the rnli with the local lifeboat, I feel id be better rebuiding golf mk3's lol
  17. cornishvr6
    Sounds good, get some pics up of your progress
  18. cornishvr6
    Cant comment on us ones but as far as im aware both the front and rear are alot deeper but also fit and look pretty good
  19. cornishvr6
    Looks great pete good work, admire the time, effort and attention to detail thats gone into this, cant wait to see it at some shows
  20. cornishvr6
    Afraid I'm in France attending vw days on this date, hope it's a good turnout anyway

    Thanks for the information pete/Luke, So 1 or 2 bottles ps fluid from vw it is then. Eurocarparts are doing pagid dot4 brake fluid on offer at the moment so will pick up that. Just need confirmation on the fuel lines anyone?
  22. cornishvr6
    * how many litres of brake fluid do i need to fill and bleed the brake/clutch system again, any recommendatons on product? * Same as above but with powersteering fluid, is there a particular type i need and roughly how many litres? * Is there a correct way of fitting new fuel pipe in the bay as there is a blue and a black pipe from the bay that leads underneath, does it matter which way around the pipes from the fuel rail fit these? Thanks in advance

    More progress today, Finished fitting the front brake setup. 312mm vs 288mm Discs All fitted Tried a wheel on to make sure clearance was ok Had to get the mk5 oil filter housing and cooler mounted up which is not a simple task due to it fouling on the front engine mounting bracket, Luckily my mate Ross is also off this week and gave his help and got stuck in, Alot of trial and error and patience saw it bolted up in place perfect, Pics dont really show just how little room there is. Then time for the manifold to be fitted, all studs removed and cleaned up first prior to installing, Trie

    Ok so not a huge update but collected the paint for the inlet manifold today, Decided on BMW sparkling graphite which is as close to what i was hoping for then set to work, Very happy with the result i achieved. Last weekend i managed to get the DBW pedal secured in place and happy that its in almost the same position as the original pedal, Got all the wiring looms in place in plugged into the fusebox, Thanks to some extra help from friends to assist this job. Got hold of an engine crane for the weekend and then she was in, Hardest part was finding the correct bolts from the many bags of pa
