managed to get it open in the end. Read some previous articles by hardhitter and found out how to do it. It was a nightmare though because that pin at the end of the distributor is a bugger to get out. That's only the case if you haven't got a clamp and I haven't so I had to get a mate to grip it ...

does any1 know how to take a distributor apart?

need to change internal electronics of 1 of them

finally got that bugger to come off, had to use both hands on the rachet to manage to make it move. damn hard work. my cams off now. going to spend the night cleaning it i think

which way does the crankshalf bolt turn to lossen it? anti-clockwise or clockwise. I can't seem to bung it, its bein a bugger

Any mk3 owners living in bath or surrounding areas? and like to meet up and compare cars?

Seen a red 1 at bath spa uni today. Had funny seat covers or trims. They were covered by 1 flower. Must be a girl I think. Who r u?

cool I was thinking about head skimming, but weren't too sure what it was all about. Just got a quote for head skimming around £25-35, so I think I'm going to do that as well, when I do my head gasket later this week when all my parts arrive. thanks for the advice matt

Yeah I'll probably will get some new headbolts thanks hardhitter.

When changing your head gasket is it really necessary to get replace the head bolts? and do you need to put lock grease on the head bolts as well?

In your opinion which are the better looking alloys p-slots or bbs cross spoke ones, there both 14" ?????

just phoned up the vw spares parts department and they said that if u remove the tube running through the middle, it makes the thermostat not work properly.

I didn't realise that a faulty thermostat makes the car overfuel, if the car is overcooling around the 70 degrees mark it makes the car ...

is it possible to put audi alloys on vw cars..? the alloys i'm looking at have a PCD of 108 mm?

I just bought a new thermostat housing and was wondering whether i needed to remove the removeable tube that runs through it?

the tube that runs through the middle of the housing unit?

thanks Yong

Hi guys again

on the gearbox where do u read the code, which tells u what sort of gearbox u have?

hi guys

do u need to use any special grease when putting a lambda sensor back into the exhust?

and is it hard to screw out to begin with? thinking I've got a problem with my sensor because it only goes around 45miles when I fill it up with £10
