Oil is alright, crank vent, where is it? Going to install new intake boot and PCV eventually.
Will see what they say today.

Just a small baffle coming off the side of the intake boot, always break and don't really work that well. Just delete it with a straight piece of hose

That's awesome. That means it's been owned by at least 4 forum members including myself. She really does deserve to be rebuilt. Currently has 5 studs and vr6 brakes, no interior but filled with lots of parts.

The motor also had a bunch of rooted valves. Hope it's a different one in there

Anyone done any gauge installs? What would be the most useful and what would be easiest ones? Cheers

want to get a set of smoked front indicator and reflectors, any recommendations on which to get?

Have my eye on a set of these but they are from Latvia and seller says that they will require modification for US models.
Any idea about australian ones?

They are probably EURO ones, which is the same as our models.
I think there is only US spec and EURO spec for the MK3s.

Can a tablet be hooked up to the ecu for guages?

Can a tablet be hooked up to the ecu for guages?

Android tablet + bluetooth ECU reader, easy.
Only works on the late models though as the electronics support the current standard.

And how do you know this when the motor was bought separately and only went in the car last Saturday?

[stefcio007]

Turns out last time they replaced the wrong switch. I guess that's what happens when the crack pipe cracks and thermostat housing crumbles at the same time. (happened last year)
Now both switches are new so not expecting any problems from there anymore.

The first vr motor did. I ended up selling the head to hayden and the block ended up being scrapped along with the donor shell. The engine that is in there currently is different

Thanks mate. Did Hayden drive his beastie down to you or you end up freighting?

Have posted this in the wanted section but I know that not everyone goes looking in there, so thought I would try here as well.

I badly need a pair of rear caliper sliding pins and boots, I f#@&*d a pair of mine trying to free them from the carrier (seized), bought a decent set of used calipers thinking that the carriers and pins would be included, but they weren't. Seller sent me a carrier and pins but thy aren't correct, so still in need.

HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPP


here's the pics of what I need

they are about 70mm long and about 8.4 mm in diameter, one looks like it has 3 small flat sections on the pin and the other steps down in diameter 3 times












Boot has Girling 32320498 on it














This is my caliper in case you need to see that as well, I don't need a caliper, but will take one if I have to so I can get what I need

Will send you a pm
