in the boot

if you raise the carpet on the right hand side above spare wheel youll find a white sticker on the floor,will list engine code,paint ect

great progress

with the drop and a respray its going to look very very nice indeed

may be a good idea to have the head skimmed incase its warped

also youll need a new cambelt and i recommend changing the waterpump while the cambelts off.

if your not confident then have a garage repair it,if the cambelt dont go on correctly then you could cause serious damage the engine

had this issue for a while now,and its doing my head in

basically when im driving and come off the accelerator the engine doesnt de-accelerate properly? it kind of holds every second as its coming down,like its still briefly getting fuel or something?it does it untill i get down untill around 2k ...

numberplate light just pops out using a flat screw driver

as for the tail light you should check the wiring,also may be a bad earth

cheers noz

yes the cables being replaced

and things arnt as bad as i thought as i looked at it today for the first time before i get started and it is only the long bolt holding the pedals thats damaged,pedal box itself is fine....

spoke to vw and they are £5.80 +vat RESULT :D

seems as though ...

cheers bud

ringing vw tommorow to see if they have one in stock or if they can order me one in so i can get started

managed to get the car to a workable place,wernt easy stuck in 2nd lol

thanks again

excellent :D

sounds fiddly but going to take my time with it so dont care if it takes a week tbh lol

im going to take the old one out and then see where im at with it,did you get a replacement from vw or the scrappers?

guess the only good thing to come of this is that i can replace my drivers ...

thanks for the reply

yes ive decided im doing it myself now,taking my car to a friends workplace next week so i can get started on it,also going to change the clutch

yes some detail on this would be great,know little about it tbh lol

anyone know rough costs of a replacement?

the shaft holding the clutch pedal sheared off,thought about doing the job myself but hear there tricky??is the case?

thanks
gaz

i would say release bearing

say this as ive had the bearing whine on different cars,on the polo when the clutch pedal was down,another car as the pedal came up,both times it was the bearing.

gearbox whine usually increases with speed,from what ive had previous anyway :o

try bringing the clutch ...

good progress,keep it coming

check that the new thermostat has located correctly

also check the condition of the thermo housing,there plastic,and the section holding the pin from thermo can break

may be a silly one but have you knocked the little adjuster wheel by the headlight switch?

that was without the top cap fitted lol just wanted to show how the nut sits underneath the cap

when i fully tighten the top cap down it hits the nut underneath leaving the gap
