Re: B5 1.8t vag com readings

Still work in progress throttle body is clean and realigned with ignition on and wait til sound stops from the alignment. No vac leaks but haven't checked injectors or seals yet although it does look a touch moist where they sit so maybe that's my issue. Is it a easy job and if that is the case wher...

B5 black plastic hose

Hi all b5 1.8t there is a L shaped hose that connects on the top corner of the inlet manifold which in turn connects to a plastic hose with two outlets. It is the plastic hose that needs replacing as it is leaking. Does anyone have a part number and is there an o ring in the hose. Cheers

Re: camturbo

Not much to update,few small things to be repaired but I think the time may have come to part with the old girl and to leave the fold. Not sure whether to part exchange it or sell it privately depends what I think is easiest when I find the next motor.
