i believe its alloy but it does look like plastic i will double check tomorrow. its not the tensioner bearing its def head related checked this morn. how hard is it to remove cams on these engines first time i have worked on a vr6 engine. rather than hit them with a hammer i will just buy new ones.

I have started my golf up the other day after i had done my clutch and thermostat. i have noticed a tapping noise coming from the engine but normally on everyother vw i have had they do it when cold ie tappets. But mine is not that noticable when cold, its when it gets warm it gets worse and its coming from the drivers side of the engine not the passenger side. Anybody got the same issue or had the same issue ? its just had a service a month ago so cant see it being the oil as its still golden.

i had this problem with my friends lupo gti was charging at 18.5v. so fitted a new altonator.and no charge. so i got another new altonator after checking all connections. then i traced the wired that plugged into the altonator that works your battery light battery on dash as that didnt come on. but turned out to be broken wire down near the front inner wing.i soldered the wire back together now charging sweet 14.4v. so just follow the blue wire and make sure that is not broken.

i have finally got the driver door open hooray!!! it was something in the lock that had jammed. took the bloke a hour to get it open. and the main thing is there is no damage to door or door card!! plus done some electrical work on his range rover so didnt cost me nothing either !! smiles all round now to get ready for the billing meet!!

may pop along this tues if weathers fine ! As its 15 mins from me.

sorry folks i dont know if i will be able to attend now as i was made redundant on fri. So depends if i can find another job in time. so mine is a maybe at the min. sorry for the trouble caused.

do you mean to apply? i hear it was a pain specailly to get a very high finish for the standard of boats. But they were spraying wood and grp!

we use it at my old work to spray the dashes in our boat. it feels really weird but finish was good.

i have 17's on mine too no problem and it is quite low.

one of my cables is broke that goes to the lever that you lift up so you can tilt the seat forward. does anyone =know where i can get the cables from ? also is it hard to change ?

i would go with craggsy on this genuine all the way i have had cheap ones and they dont last long. i didnt seem to have much with magnacore ones as there made at a factory in kettering. after they had been on and off a few times and you would get a misfire on tickover. brought genuine ones and ticksover sweet as a nut and i use iridium plugs as there better than standard bosh super 4s by far.

looks like engine management light to me.

I was told to try genuine vw discs and pagid fast road pads and they did work very well even after a hard session no fade or juddering after. but the discs were quite expensive from what i can rememeber. brembo,pagid are good

the bumpers have been done over a year ago by him. as someone else was going to spray it.but he used a two pack glue to fill teh line around the bumper. i also smoothed the front indicators,rear wiper,vw badge. i must admit i do love the job he has done!! everytime i get it out the garage it brings a smile to my face. i was recommended by a friend who used to work for him its called fx paint in kettering.

another unlucky thing that happened to me in my last corrado was i got caught speeding by a unmarked police car on the way to my mates in spalding. it was a red skoda oktavia he got me doing averageing 111mph in a 60 then follewed me and got me doing 125mph in a 50 only thought i was doing about 80mph so got ban for 6 months lol. but yes the golf is a more pactical and the corrados are nice i would still love a corrado vr6 in white.but not after my bad luck i wont own another one.
