Of course, I stand corrected. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I did adjust mine once. It's still running so I should know what I did.

If you look on the front end of your camshaft you will see some numbers 1-5. As you rotate the cam, there's a line by each number which lines up with a little notch in the casting by the locking pin hole. As you line up each one, work on the corresponding rocker. Back off the screw from the...

The alternator could have the wrong pulley on it. Where did you get it from?

Anyone?

Yes, seems good advice, I'll keep them.

Might have one. Will check and PM this evening if you still need it?

I have been breaking a D2 and I'm wondering if it's worth removing the front & rear diffs or just scrap it. £40 each plus post? I have other parts too, body panels in Rioja Red, I think. On Suffolk coast.

Yes, your solenoids valves could be playing up as I mentioned in a previous post. They open to let air to each bag but if they don't close, or open by themselves later, the air will come out again.

Does anyone know the difference between camshafts from a 10p ERR6676 and a 15p LGC000310? I can't see any visual differences and measuring the cam lobes gives values that are near as damn it the same. The only thing I can't measure with any certainty is duration but they look close enough by...

If you find that it's your solenoid valves that are faulty, I have a pair for sale - £20.

Haha, my Mk1 is in a dire state and sometimes I wish I hadn't bought it. Then again, if it stays where it is for the next 20 years, I should make some money on it!

I hope your problem is fixed. Just be aware that it might come back over time. I had similar issues and drove 2000 miles after an HG change only to find the problem returned as the HG bedded in and combustion gasses found a route in to the coolant again. You should also to be sure to torque...

I am. I've had water cooled VWs all my life - except for a mis-guided purchase of a Citroen BX! Unfortunately, my Corrado was not built for hauling bags of cement and general crap so when I got my first Landy, I realised that it's what I should have been driving and the VW got relegated to the...

Hi Chris, Were you ever on the ClubGTi or VR6OC forums? Your moniker sounds familiar! James

I have a 16' twin axle Ifor which carried my D2 back from Wales to the East Coast. It was a little top heavy but not too bad if you can drive properly. Certainly a lower flat bed would be better for a big vehicle but I also use it for general hauling and it tows extremely well, very stable...

I also fixed my engine oil leak. I had neglected to re-fit a stud to the front of the head. Tiny drops of oil were jumping out on to the fan which transported it up, down, left & right. There was oil everywhere, all over my newly rebuilt and cleaned engine :-(

Fixed my four amigos with a new hub and ABS cable. The sensor actually had a cut in it, maybe from some grit inside the hub. I think the garage may have had the sensor out when they did my ball joints and got some crap in there. I can't prove it of course. Still, it's nice to have those...

That depends whether you do the stripdown and rebuild yourself or not. The machining doesn't have to be that expensive. Well, that depends how bad your engine is, I suppose. If you start getting in to re-cutting valve seats as well as skimming, pressure testing etc then it does add up.

I don't want to upset you but I had similar issues recently. I replaced everything before accepting that the block was the only thing it could be. I took the block to the shop and they machined a few thou off the deck, I can't remember how much exactly. It definitely had low spots because they...

I did the shuttle valve mod.
