forget the warranty junior- there isnt any such thing, is it possible to live with the thrust bearing noise? surely its not that bad, but labour wise-i can slip a clutch in one of these in an hour- but any garage is gonna charge you 3hours plus a clutch (expect £100)- so total about 250 upwards-...

i wish i could dupe people into putting an egr valve on for £150-200 labour!!!! dont bother with a second hand one laura- there a £100 quid and they are as common as dogshit, takes 5mins if that to fit. burning oil is a little more suspect, get a garage you can trust that sounds like he knows...

there is normally 2 temp senders on vw- and your first port of call would be to change them after having made a prelimanary inspection of the wiring, make sure its not melted, earthing etc, after that, there is a control unit, thats the expensive bit, its normally bolted to the chassis, nearside...

hi misszipy, you need to go back to basics and ignore manuals and ignore dads and prob ignore this site, if the fan kicks in when it should, leave outside your house on tickover and monitor. replace the thermostat, and remoniter, if still no good, get the garage to a sniffer test on your car-...

So is there any point to your reply?? any valid point wat-so-ever, as iv missed it in all the irrelevant rubbish about chavs- but i dont suppose their are many chavs wi a type r- it is a standard type r - if that helps with any1 that has a valid opinion, kind regards, tommy

hi mate-there suckers for eating bottom pulleys, the centre of the pulley is rubber and fatigues, at tickover its resembles a shaking vibration noise- but doesnt look or feel that way at revs- but only when blipping the throttle it rasps, it doesnt sound like a traditional ticking of a tappet...

running a civic type r 53 reg on pre facelift, had a missfire forever, its probably not wrong oil, ive had the luxury of being able to swap bits from identical cars, im sure its not plugs, di packs, fuel injectors or fuel rail, leaving ( i think) wiring loom or ecu- does any1 know of common...

hi rich-dont assume tracking correct, just cos youve had new track rods, or ends, it still has to be done, and few garages do it- they would simply count the turns the old part rotated to come off then rescrew on as many times with new part- it doesnt matter that threads not equal, give me a...
