thanks brian hopefully someone can help so I can get it ordered

help please

thanks for the help going to do the clutch over the next couple of weekends, One issue I might have is my reg shows the car to have a AFN engine but the engine that is in is a AHU are these two different clutch kits or will the same clutch kit fit both thanks

what about the gear link cables would this give these symptoms thanks ?

update i bled the clutch to day and problem is still the same had a look in the bell housing and there seems to be no obvious leakage dry as far as i could see any other ideas anyone thanks

Thanks I hope I don't have to pull it apart too will give these a try and post the results fingers crossed it will be good news

yeah goes in all gears ok when not running I replaced the clutch/brake fluid about 6 mths ago (brakes/clutch were a bit spongy) so will have a look tomorrow I haven't noticed it slipping tho

H all i have a 1996 mk1 galaxy with a AHU engine and a 5 speed manual gearbox. my gearbox seems to be playing up when im driving going down the gearbox into 1st gear it goes in but with a crunch also when i try reverse sometimes it won't engage i have tryed releasing the clutch and depressing it again it stays the same even putting in other gears then in reverse most of the time this doesnt work but when it does engage reverse there is no crunch just as its supposed to any ideas all other gears 2nd 3rd 4th 5th are ok thanks

cheers will give these a blast

Hi all my galaxy seems to be a bit rough when I start it up cold now and again it seems to misfire it also does this when the accelerator is lighltly pressed i.e when tootling along at 30mph in 5th gear this sometimes causes it to judder badly until you put your foot flat down on the pedal or take it off completely then it settles down it seems to do it more when cold but has done the same with engine at norm temp had the vag on and no codes recorded, no air in clear pipe, fuel from the same petrol station as usual/normal colour smoke out back (i.e black) could it be either the injectors if so how can I test them or the glow plugs again how do I test them thanks any ideas would be very helpful thanks

hi d.widdy I adjust my own handbrake to 3 clicks and it hasn't faild yet I would say 6 is too much and if you get a mot done you have a week I think to repair it and take it back to the same place they will check the bits that it failed on then you get the mot don't know if they have to, but most mot places you don't have to pay if its taken back to the same place within this period of time

hi all I have a 1998 gal 1.9 tdi with the AHU (found code on engine) engine fitted but all the auto parts shops say its coming up with the AFN engine I am looking to change my oil/filter, is the fram ph3569 / filtron op 525/3 the right one or is the vw audi 068 115 561 E the right filter thanks for any help

if you ever near Washington tyne and wear I've got one

I had problems with my mk1 heater and as said it is clipped to wiper linkages next to pollen/cabin filter just place a paper clip between the two terminals in the clip and this worked spot on I had a few problems with fuel getting to the heater but managed to draw the fuel through with a syringe this seemed to free up the fuel and all is ok now just sounds like a jet engine spinning up

cheers all will order a 20 pk and see how far I get
