197k just rebuilt her top to bottom and re-rung her as the bores were well within std tolerances !!!

Ok M8 sounds like you got a result anyway. Stephen

Hi Ollie Clarify where the problem is first before attempting any adjustments by disconnecting the shift cabling and jacking up the vehicle front now have some one start the vehicle and with them operating the clutch put the gearbox up and down thru its gears noting any issues on the way ie 1st 0k 2nd ok 3rd poor 4th ok etc etc when your satisfied the gearbox is ok proceed with adjustments. Stephen Ps you,ve checked and topped up the gb oil presumably ?

Cheers for the update NEX , at £2.95 for the full version plus free updates this will be a steal once the vag comms is sorted additionally this setup is completely untethered - portable - otr diagnostic !!! Stephen

Android Only M8 I have this Running on a Samsung Galaxy Note + Elm 327 Bluetooth, but Have,nt tried it with a VAG vehicle yet. Stephen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque&hl=en

Lol thats my point m8 mine does'nt have the original cooler its just piped off an adapter plate directly to the rad. Stephen

My VR came fitted with what i believe is a sharan OC and ive owned it for 18 months now and had no issues whatsoever Lukey. Stephen

unsure about the piston but wouldnt have thought they were any different. also rotate the crank and make sure theres no tight spots (possible bent rod) but you defo need to look at the chains and guides and find where the noise was from. also once youve got new valves check there run in the guides and if tight or sloppy knock em out and fit new £4 each and while your there you may as well fit new valve seals £20. stephen

Surely its the sender at fault if fan runs at both speeds ?, id pull the sensors attach longer test leads and kettle the sensors to test if they dont cut the fans in then use a MM to test for continuity if thats ok youve got a wiring/fuse issue. Stephen

id replace it with a rad cooler m8 ,any 9 row plus rad will do you and the sandwich plates about £20 of fleabay, so for a second hand rad and new plate you,d have a better OC system for circa £50 ?. Stephen Ps heres a couple i made earlier lol Adapter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310318092725?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 Rad http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-S-TYPE-OIL-COOLER-RADIATOR-/180937425049?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a20b60099

Both the upper and lower tensioners are oil fed and afraid the lowers a gearbox out jobby to check, but presumab,y your talking about the upper only pull the tensioner bolt out completely and measure its length ,my lumps in bits at the mo so ill measure mine when home from work this evening to compare with yours. Seeing your pulling the head anyway this will give you chance to view the upper guide and chain blade, if these are broken or worn to excess you may have jumped a tooth or two in witch case you may have head and piston damage, but lets take one step at a time Jack. Stephen Ps got spar

After some serious googling i came across these guys http://www.tdnparts.com/ Superfast responce to my email and at prices i just cant afford to ignore $17 shipping to the uk so heres where my monies going for mains,thrusts,rings. Stephen

Cheers Guys Stephen

Worked in the aircarft industry for a while and we used water and talc for minimal impact damage when cleaning parts prior to crack testing, the main problem we had with a small cabinet was limited vision when blasting. So post your intensions here m8 and ill see if theres any holes in your idea . Stephen
