  1. When running the low side is about 1.75 to 2 bar
  2. Not off the top of my head, I have wiring diagrams but am off to work now, I will add it to my list of things to do!
  3. If it is a MK2 then there won't be.

  5. And with the engine off it is the same pressure through out
  6. Personally I think common sense says not to spend thousands fitting a new engine to a 9 year old 230000+ miles car. Incidentally when my turbo went in my truck at 650,000Km they fitted a new turbo, not a new turbo and engine.
  7. Was I thinking about the one piece rear mat then?
  8. Well actually I am considering buying a Stacker 6 as my first foil, just how easy are they to fly? I normally fly a Flexyfoil Delta.
  9. Some models have a connector, yours is a changeover model so it might or might not! Is yours a MK1 or a MK2?
  10. That would give him more keys, but he would still have to have them programed at the dealers or by a specialist auto locksmith.
  11. 1. Possibly an Aluminium welder could run a weld over the crack. 2. Any moisture in the system is bad, even the moisture in the air on a normal UK dry day. In addition to this any air in the system will mean less expansion and compression of the refrigerant gas, so less efficient air con. In any case a vacuum out and fill should cost about
  12. Well done chap, but don't forget that if you do change the pipe yourself you will need to have the system vacuumed out, you won't be able to fill it your self. It will need to be done as soon as possible after the work too!
  13. I must confess. I used to work in a factory that made environmental control units for computer rooms. They heated, cooled, de-humidified, humidified and atomised any dust, all in one unit. The evaporators were made in the factory and all pipework was brazed on the line. My job was filling and sniffing, but it was done with a charging station. We had very few units fail in the factory and they all worked perfectly when they arrived in the USA. We lost the contract to a Chinese plant.
  14. I thought the Ford ones were about
  15. I have to agree that with standard induction, changing the filter for a "performance" one will give no gains.
  16. I changed my outer CV joint (at last) today and it was a fairly straight forward job. I took a few photos so may write up on it later. I changed it because the ABS ring was knackered. The joint was in really good nick otherwise, with little wear and still with a VW boot on it, although it had gone a bit hard. The minute I went over about 20mph the ABS light went out and no fault code is stored. It was 45 minutes from start to finish and involved removing the wheel and 3 bolts!
  17. That is why the crooks love WU. No ID needed, just the transfer number and you can get the cash anywhere in the world! OK it is great for sending money quickly for legit reasons, but that leaves the system wide open to using it for fraud and WU don't bother as they are making from it.
  18. Bloody hell, you would think Aircon is a black art or something! There are only 4 main components, the Compressor, the drier, the condenser and the evaporator! All joined up with gas tight pipes! How hard can it be?
  19. That 3 point belt solution is function over form though, it works, but is awful!
  20. Can I add that I doubt very much that it will be the pump that is faulty. They are lifetime items really and if it is fine when the car is moving then it is most likely the belt slipping. My car gets taken to an MOT station where they DON'T do repairs, only MOTs.........
  21. In my opinion, the reason for failure is most likely under inspection 1(a) above. Check your fluid level and the condition of the drive belt.
  22. They are on to you already.... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/23/conmen_alert/
