The saga continues.... After only 200 miles of ownership my nice shiney yellow '90 JAP TT decided to blow a big end. :cry: Baggins duly replaced it, got it running, only to discover that the head gasket has gone. :headvswal Baggins swore. :nono: Baggins has now set off on another round of rip it all out, and replace whatever's left. :( The problem is, I'm getting a bit paranoid about overheating, as i don't want to go through all this lot again. The stock gauge showed no sign of overheating even when it blew the top rad hose up like a balloon. :eek: So, zed gods, I'm after any advice on aftermarket gauges - what to look for/avoid etc. It…

Hmmm.....Cars runs sweeeettt too!! But I lost 2.5l going to the pod yesterday and another 3 going home???? (75 miles each way......) Phoned a few garages in Melton today and asked if they can do the tests, they can, but I cant watch?!?

If its come to it, I'll buy a cooling system pressure testing kit and blo…

Hi all, Maybe stupid question, but, here it is: When havin' a look into the engine bay, behind the big fan, there are a few (3?) 'open-air' belts.. ;what are they for? (battery charger thingie, steering wheel and aircond, is that right?) And very important question: is it of any problem if they brake? (nothing to do with the waterpumps?) thanks in advance :) cheers, bs

Having been told today that a radiator for a N/A is as rare as hens teeth, I have a question for all the technically minded on here. "is it possible to fit a TT radiator to a N/A, if it is then whats involved and are there any drawbacks to the conversion" any help gratefully recieved cause my rad is on borrowed time and I'm fed up already with taking things easy. Pete :cry:

Going to start to replace the O ring seal at the back of the gearbox today but not looking forward to it :cry: Advice so far :- 1 mark the prop shaft as it is balanced 2 use a special tool to remove the seal ,not got one so screw driver will have to do :rolleyes: 3 make sure you put the seal back in straight ,block of wood :smash: anymore

My air con isn't working (need it in this heat). I think it just needs regassing but not having any history on it I don't know whats been done to it. Is the replacement gas R134 a ? Is there any way to find out if it just needs regassing with some sort of diagnostic and anything else that might be wrong with it ? How much roughly would a air con check and regas cost ? Cheers Paul

After a run there is petrol around the filler cap as if it has spilled out during cornering.I've tried different petrol caps but its still there.Also when I release the cap there is a "whoosh" which tends to indicate the cap is not leaking as its holding air pressure.Any ideas?
