Cheers Steph – if you’re up Bristol-way at any point you’re welcome to stop by for a cuppa and a chat.
The pictures aren’t telling the whole story – there’s a whole lot more stuff past the Golf – a couple of Audi 5 cylinder motors, the welder, press and loads of junk/parts on various shelves. After two years I’m just settling in!
Danny’s about an hour up the road, so comes down for the occasional weekend and gives me a proverbial kick up the arse – I’m back on my own now after we got just a bucketload of stuff sorted last weekend – I’ve not even mentioned the T25 pick up with the Audi turbo motor that we took out for a first test drive and tidied a load of jobs up on!
I enjoy working as a team WAY more than on my own, hence the huge amount of stuff we got done
PAS pumps arn’t servicable, if it’s not makeing pressure or has run dry it will have chewed itself internaly. GSF do replacements for £86.50
Right, let’s check a few part numbers and see what we’ve got…..
037 906 022 FL is the Siemens
0261 200 298 is the Bosch.
Well, neither of them tally. A quick check reveals that (thankfully) the lift pump I’ve been hoarding is the right one, at least!
Not exactly sure what’s going to happen Chris. The ECU from the Passat is a Siemens one. Danny and I were a little puzzled by this, as we thought Digifant was a Bosch thing, or is it the case that it’s just a name for a ‘system’ of programming?
It’s a brave new world!
Just got a quote – £800 for a basic 6 point cage, hand-built by a well-established and high-spec cage builder, who built this one: http://www.coupehaus.co.uk/richardT_project.html .
your alternator is poorly.
14.4 is ideal charging voltage but in automotive applications it’s nearer to 15v as it ensures the cells are equlised the absolute maximun is 16.2v.the alternator should be able to hold it’s output voltage constant over it’s rated output if not it’s broken.
112*5 is Audi A6, Audi 100, Passat, Sharan and Seat Leon and Alhambra, not to mention Ford Granada and T25 and T4 Transporters….. I would have thought you’d really be looking for 100*5, which is all of the Golf4 platform cars – nice big choice of brakes there.
112 pcd is Audi ? mk3 is 5x 100, you will have to change the hubs as well, the wheel bolts simply go through the disk and bolt into the hub, front hubs may press in? if they don’t I guess it’ll be mk3 vr syncro rear hubs
I prefer keep budget to self. I need a few more details of car as well. like pre/post 90. the new rear crossmember bit is a bit worrying. don’t want to get involved with major repair work and painting stuff, I’m trying to avoid that by getting a different car
Sounds like a clogged up, elderly radiator to me, Darren – exactly what my car was doing, too.
I replaced the stat and various other bits before giving in and replacing the rad – cured it immediately!
