Seen at blyth coast chippy a couple times

found it its behind the heater dials! bit weird

done research and can't find the socket? in my lupo its under the ash tray but this one isnt? :S

I have my brothers cold air feed setup from his gti and this was in the way, What does it actually do? :S and with removing it do you just block of the two pipes? thanks

anyone inform me of what it is and how necessary it is?

Sport engines are normal direction, just hella tight. get MORE leverage Also does anyone know if the rings have a run-in procedure? PS @ Sophie if you bought your lupo from consett... FU we wanted it!

I've got a set from screw fix, M12 for head bolts and looks more like M8 for drive shaft bolts everythings all good

Does anyone know what size it is? been looking for sets local and the only ones i can find look too small (on internet pictures) Better yet if anyone has any in Newcastle Upon Tyne they will lend for a few days ? Also for driveshafts, M6 ?

7mm* and lever bar of the jack ! Leverage F*** yeahh

What software should i use with it? ********** Didn't realize it came with CD thank you

Joys of finding a spark plug socket with a 19mm hex upper

Get car lifted up at front, ramps/axle stands take lower bumper off for better access. Remove the belt... Spanner on the tensioner and move it as if to tighten the bolt (righty tighty) Be sure spanner won't slip else you might get sore fingers. Belt off remove two bolts I think 13mm holding the alternator in place and 17mm for tensioner. Knock it out with soft mallet or similar Refit in reverse

I'm doing mine to a very small budget, doing rings, big end bearing shells for the internal, then the rest is just gaskets, bolts and service parts, belts and gaskets etc. This is first time i've done this so probably not the best for info Try Lupoboz on here in the 'genuine traders' Section he does great prices. Would imagine save a fortune over halfords!

Where did you get the bits for the job? And are you only doing rings?

Any recommendnation's for the lead? Thanks:)

Is there anyway diy I can turn off my airbag light? Just to save paying to get code cleared? Also it does mean That they are deactivated? And not faulty and likely to blow of when in driving?!

Thats them in the scrap pile then I thought something similar just checking Ps thanks ! Aha

Had a set of 15 mm flat spacers my brother made for while, would they damage wheel bolts/hub as the don't have the middle for to support the wheel that proper spacers have if that makes sense aha!

I've just had old bike break cable wrapped round and self tapped to the wheel well. Done this to friends sport and noticed nines missing heat shield... Just don't bolt it to heat shield and will stay Neat for ever:)

Would it be possible to then have 5 stud rears for full set of matching wheels?

Is it going in situations when the fan would operate? Does just sound like a dodgey fan but I don't understand why the would stop engine operation unless dome failsafe to stop engine overheating??? I 'unno

Just be because it's that far down and constantly sat on the bump stops. If by wound all the way down you actually mean bottom of the threads then chances are the springs not even in contact with upper support? Will be able to wind the adjusters up a good inch and it wont make a difference to the ride height Just what I've experienced so might not be correct in your case

Some have more common sense than others but its been driven hard past 20k miles i've had it and it still makes me proud New-ish engine to come friday though whooop

Does anyone have the main bearing torques for afh? Please

Nope that was very low on oil, it's been like that for over 20k miles, have no choice to drive it but that's why I've been trying to get the other engine rebuilt
