  2. As above mate. I've had what sounds like both the same problems in the past. With the rear beam bushes, go aftermarket. A million times easier to fit and last forever. As far as the front top mounts are concerned, easy as anything to change and cheap as chips
  3. Doubt he'll have too many people ringing him up with an ad like that mate. lol
  4. If you are after an OBD1 lump with coil pack, I know the boys at Golf 1st had one in stock a week ago when I bought my engine.
  5. Thanks for the replies guys. The coolant has stayed at a decent level and not dropped at all while it had been running. I have checked in the cap but no moisture residue in there
  6. Smells of oil. It's white smoke. Worried it's a buggered bottom end that I have bought. Just seems weird that it was absolutely fine when we first started it after putting it in. Can't exactly go back to the guy I bough it from as I bought it 3 weeks ago and he lives 250 miles away. Not great
  7. Sorry mate, when i unplugged the maf it almost cut out so it's not that
  8. I unplugged the MAF which made it bog down so I can rule that out. I'm sure the ISV is working, it came off of my original engine with no problems. Just a really weird problem Cheers Nat
  9. Hi guys, recently done an engine change on my OBD1 VR. Started up today and runs lumpy as anything When the engine is under load it fills the whole street with smoke and on idle the revs are hunting like mad. I really can't understand it as when we started the car after the engine change it idled beautifully. I have checked all breathers, plugs, hoses, oil level, water level etc. Any ideas guys? Don't want to but if I can't solve it this week I will have to break it to get some money back Cheers in advance
  10. Hi guys, just a quick pic update as how she sits now. I'll be back tomorrow to write out the (very long) list of bits that have been done over the last couple of months. Lol All comments welcome
  11. Brilliant, cheers Rik. I'll get one ordered up. Might need to hook up with you soon and get my car on Vag Com if that's ok?
  12. Anyone? If anyone knows the rating of the fuse strip across the top then that would be even better.
  13. I'm in Tonbridge mate. Couple of big roundabouts along from here
  14. If it's any use, I got a part number off of the main unit. The main problem is the fused bar that bridges across the top. 1H0 919 506 A Cheers
  15. Who is it you work for mate? I'm a critical services engineer for an American financial investment firm. Basically looking after a Tier 4 Data centre and making sure nothing goes tits up. Perks include 12 hours of a warm, well lit underground car park to use to work on the VR, clean it and take pics. lol
