i meant on this forum lol .. i found some on good ole google.. i prefer the blue one in your pics though.. less drag when towing

i was thinking of turning mine into a trailer.. towing it behind my a6 wagon.. ya know, so i could see the old flame in the rear view

i know.. this plae was buzzing a few years back.. all good things and all that i guess.. nice one thanks for the heads up chap

...and thats a no here too i guess lol!!

not even a response.. buzzing!

im gonna assume thats a no then lol

this forum has become really quiet over the years eh .. ah well

wondering if this has been done before

thinking of turning my b5.5 wagon into either a trailer (with the front end chopped off).. or a pickup/flatbed?

got any pics?

thanks

im based in walsall i have a bunch of parts from steering racks to suspension to electrics and a whole bunch of doors, boot lid, bonnet etc need it all gone from the warehouse and willing to sell cheap.. like REALLY cheap, as in cheaper than anything you find on ebay so was thinking of holding a day...

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm told also by a couple of gearbox refurb places and a clutch place that the spec is 052 911 and they use 75w90 which satisfies the 052 911 spec for the 01e 6 speed. Turns out the bearings are disintegrated but luckily have a spare 6 speed box so ordered a rebuild kit ...

hi, wondering if anyone can point a few fingers i changed oil on an 01e in the past, but its been that long i cant for the life of me remember any of the numbers i need to know to do it again. ive seen references to 75/80 and 75/90 on this forum on external websites after putting in a reg number i g...

think changing the flange is overkill unless its broken or warped as mentioned an O Ring in the flange will need replacing - prob not a good idea using sealant either, the O Ring normally supplied with a thermostat is sufficient when fixing bolts are torqued correctly. loads of how to's on the net, ...

its strange that everything was noiseless until the TB was done, which is why im not straying much from that area.. or idve probably not put on the aux belt or the ac belt just to check for noises youve pretty much changed everything you did replace twice (WP, idler roller, tensioner and belt), now ...

yeah sorry didnt read the earlier posts again before i posted and couldnt remember the gates kit bit. ah i thought you had installed the febi pump and noise was after that install.. hopefully the pump sorts it, cam pully bolts defo tight after the adjustments made during TB change? just a quick one ...

yep, youre right .. def is one of those how long is a piece of string situations.. i think it largely depends on how the cars been looked after and serviced and of course driven/conditions and road types driven in/towing vs not towing etc etc. amongst all the other bits and bobs, could someone have ...

sounds like rubbing a bit doesnt it, if the pumps been replaced and the tesoner also, it might be worth checking idler roller, they usually come with some kits along with a new bolt, if thats been changed also, it might be worth checking cam bearings. you sure nothing is rubbing cam sensor or belt n...

if adjusting that doesnt work, youll probably be better off taking the front bumper off and loosening those 3/4 bolts on both longitudenal members / crumple bars and lifting the slam panel assembly and tightening the bolts up again

im sure theres a chemical reaction - bimetallic corrosion or something.. that takes place when dissimilar mating matels corrode isnt there, like the steel pinch bolt and aluminium 'pinch' wonder what it looks like at the pinch bolt on audi uprights with steel bolts when it hasnt been touched in a wh...

did they make aluminium uprights for passats ray, ive seen alu uprights for audi's on the net although i thought for passats they were all steel.. you are talking about the hub carrier right? well thats what ive always called uprights just thought id check as ive never come across anything other tha...

mines a canbus type fitting but my ballast is made of plastic and is pretty small, about the width and length of a credit card and about 10 to 15mm thick.. how big is big though? its currently fitted in non canbus car and theres no issue (now there will be when i turn my headlights on.. sods law) mi...

try disconnecting the wiring from 'ballast' to 'lights' and then turn your headlamps on and see if the wipers turn on

try it with wiring from 'car' to 'ballast' disconnected too

ah, wouldve been good if it was possible - wonder if the later tensioner would get in the way of the damper if the damper was kept in purely for the idler roller - the roller is deffo screwed into the damper and not just through a hole in the damper housing and into the block? ive got the <01 avf an...

i was thinkin,why not just do away with the damper altogether and just get the tensioner from the later model? no more messing wth 4mm gaps etc

ah ok, what belt brand did you have on?

like a dating site where they look gorgeous.. especially for their age... then they turn up at the bar you arrange to meet at.. oops, yeah i havnt updated that profile in a few years :p there are two 10mm (i think two, maybe 3) bolts you can loosen on the metal bonnet release assembly attached to th...

be honest maclee.. its your website and you want everyone going there to earn yourself some bitcoin

im just kidding.. dont worry about it, if people have the right software installed and kept updated they shouldnt have an issue with things like this for the most part

wow, didnt expect that.. if that wasnt due to over tensioning the belt its the first time ive come across a meyle part failing DOA/failed on install, might be worth ordering another oneso you can just swap them at the till and get your money back with less downtime while your cars being dealt with

check the fuse for the lift pump before anything else, theres a relay for the fuel pump too - may well save you some time too
