its the same for brake-testing (don’t know if this is a procedure done en england, but they do this in norway at our bi-annual MOTs)
if they set front wheels on the brake tester, and run this, the car will only push itself of the testing wheels
no, you can’t
if you raise the front wheels and tow it, the rear wheels will try to spin the front, same the other way. its mechanically connected at all times
you can either take the prop-shaft off. or use a flatbead
if you are selling, this is probably the wrong section to post in, this section is for items you are bidding on
but, if you want to sell your rear arms, there is a WTB post from a fella in the UK who needs them (WTB section)
its held on with a few long bolts (take the braket on the block/angle drive off) then its jut a matter of prying it of slowly
and yes, oil will be spilled
and another tip, get new o-rings for the reassembly, don’t cost much, but its way better then to have a leaky transmission (i found out this the hard way)
if i had the cash, i would send a diff down to you for overhaul. the one on my golf is leaking like hell
not much fluid left in it i’m afraid, so some whining has occured. but, i’ve got two more diffs lying around
(just to clarify, the oilseals on the diff is replaced with OEM ones, but still leaks from the flanges damnit)
the e-brake wires can be obtained at a local parts pusher
you just need the correct dimensions, think i tried about 5 sets before i found the right ones
i just don’t remember the brand and partnumbers
nothing happens here? hmm.. that sucks
ohwell, i’ve got a new engine on my hand, (from vegard) just need to pick it up, not very easy, since there is a few km between us, and i don’t have a proper car to pick up an engine with
my engine is beyond tired. over 300 000km on it, with no internal work, started to develope piston slap, and ignition knock
is there a place one can buy some time? and inspiration?
there are no problem driving the car, but can’t really use the power, since it knocks like crazy when on load
if i had the money, i’d get one of my blocks bored and fitted with new pistons, but machine work is damn expensive (like eveything else in this country)
on a sidenote, still waitig for snow, its december, it should be loads of the stuff here, but noo. we’ve had warm weather, and rain, no snow, last year on this time, it was about minus 20 centigrade, now its only minus 2
try get them locally, if you can’t, then give me a shout, price is as said, 140shipped to your location in the UK (tax not included if UK wants that)
oh, with shipping it will be aronund 140ish pounds. sooo. VERY expensive..
and the sets i’ve got are from a passat, meaning no drumbrakes, but they are for disc brakes (no calipers, discs or splashguards)
how many do you need? :p
I’ve got a few sets lying around, but, since I’m located in Norway, shipping will come out to be extremely expensive
and then 5th decided to go away again?
what the ****?
1st time, okay, this could happen, but second time.. i’m not so sure anymore
all cables are good, not loose or anything. so i’m starting to suspect the transmission..
ohwell. time to take the endcap of the transmission off and have a look then
i have ****loads of play in the 5th position on the gear stick. so something is off here
all i remembver from assembling the transmission is that i didnt use loc-tite on the bolt that holds 5th…
but i havn’t had any ill sounds, so i highly doubt that this has fallen out
wierd ****
oh, and the roads have gotten iced up here now. the ground has been frozen from the cold weather last week, and now it rains. so it freezes
good fun to be honest
and then the front shocks are on
soo, car isn’t lowered anymore
all i need to do now is to get the alignment done. did it by eye for now, just so i could get home without having to fight the syncro
