hi all have type in variuos wordings to try and find out how to do the job on the mk1 diesel nowt comes up, any ideas thanks

hi mm yes the smaller bore pipe from the dryer was off the car i just cut it with hacksaw and cleaned out the ends b4 putting into the rubber pipe, the fat pipe from the comp was cut in situ dont know if anything got in im just going day by day hoping the comp clicks in on day 7 now

YES INDEED MM thats the website i used. good bloke but ask about postage he uses carrier at

evning all i have just come home now with cool air how lovely it was. i was even in a good mood. so if you have a rotton pipe from the dryer that runs around the bulkhead or even the fat one from the compressor to the bulkhead never fear. both mine had holes. i got some aircon pipe from autokool he has a website but i lost it i cut out the rot and siliconed and put on 6 clamps each side overkill a bit, then got the man in the van to check it, it was vaccuumed out and tested for whatever else he does shove the gas in and non working for 4 years aircon is up and giving it to me cold. oh joy what joy. maybe all will go pop soon but i shall revell in the cool air for now. so all not lost for

evening all one would be gratefull about any pitfalls to watch for when buying a 2.8 model gal mk1. about R reg. am fully wise on most diesel faults but oppertunity arises for a 2.8 ultima automatic model. any engine or gearbox things to watch for on test drive etc thanks in advance

hi it seems different air con men have different ideas, mine said not to use fuel type pipe as the clips wont hold thegas and the gas willl eat the pipe also i found on the web someone selling proper air con tubing that has a special lining to resist the gas, he also said it needs to be ferulled and clamped on, i spoke to mend a hose

spoke to pitek siad they dont have any hose that is resistant to the gas .if i get some copper will that weld ok to the ali pipe ?

hi all, i know this is clutching at straws, but you have to try ,, the small diameter airconpipe that runs from the dryer round the inner wing and into the bulkheadfixing with the fatter pipe, of course its rotted under the car near the dryer. new pipe

hi all asked this b4 when seatkid was unknown whereabouts, but now if hes back ,can you shed some light. 97 9ohp galaxy from looking at your vacuum pipes diagram, i have a bit different. on the early model the turbo boost solenoid is a square metal box fitted next to the egr solenoid. it seems to be piped differently to the wifes 98 110tdi that has a turbo solenoid vwey similar to the egr one. i think my piping is wrong as i dont feel any boost. the bi intercooler pipe that runs up the front of the engine , on it is a take off a small vac pipe this on my engine dissapears to somewhere down past the brake servo, cant see where, the other pipes on the solenoid are, one to the air cleaner box and 2 down to the turbo. i have no movement of the actuater rod on start up and it seems very stiff, he car revs well up to the red line in all gears but just dont have any oooomph or are all the 90hp like this, have swopped maf had code reads no faults found. top speed is about 90mph downhill on the mway. any ideas on early 90hp vacuum piping or can anyone with a similar model have a look on theres for me. to check the pipe it comes from the intercooler pipe comes out from the side in line with the battery on the right to where it goes or should it be connected to the turbo boost on all models/ thanks

had the wifes fitted here in leeds at

hi all the lovely wifes gal 98 110tdi has just done 3000 miles this year not a lot but it runs on 10/40 semi synthectic would one oil and filter change a year be enough for this piddling amount of miles or because of lack of use it gets 6 runs of 100 miles the rest is shops and school should i do 2 times a year. thanks all and dont forget you get discount in my shop My Webshop

hi all, the wifes 110 tdi 98 year 130,000 seems to have quite a heavy clutch compared to my 90 on a 97 year with similar miles. ive notived with some cable clutches the higher the miles the heavier they get but the hydrulic one on the gal i wouldnt have thought that would get heavy with age. any one any ideas , clutch dont slip or do any noises either just feels like a sports car or racing clutch. its the original one as well.
