I have a TT engine here that hasn't been run for a while, the reason the car died was suspected headgasket failure. But amongst my boxes of bit I have a snapped camshaft! Is this something that can happen and what would the symptoms be, or is it likely that some rough mechanic has broken it taking it out? :detective: or maybe madmax tried to fit it. lol :tt2:

Hi guys, can anyone give me a fairly close idea of redline speed in 2nd for an auto n/a ?? Trying to fight a speeding summons.

Engine off and when restarted has been fine ever since. Thanks guys.

Hi Guys, i've seen a lot of threads on re-trimming the interior panels with materials from e-bay/zcentre/own hide, well i'm looking at doing mine. All the panels i need to do are covered in cloth, they're not bare plastic (like my old MR2), so do i remove the cloth or bond the hide straight onto the cloth, if i do remove the cloth, how easy is it and would a layer of foam underneath be advisable. Cheers Rich

Hi, When extending the injector wires is there any polarity to observe? I mean - does it matter if they are possibly reversed? :euro: And same question regarding the coil connections please? Cheers in advance.

following my new full stainless japspeed system incl decats, the original pipe work that used to connect to the exhausts ie flexi pipes that enter the system behind cats is still connected to the AIV. when starting the car you get exhaust fumes, discharging at these points. do i need to fully remove the aiv system with solenoids, or can i just undo one of the hoses in the engine bay? and cap off as a quick fix. I will be removing the whole system when i get more time. stu

Im getting some strong petrol smells from the front when engine is running. no visable leaks however. Any common areas I should check. Is there any hose kits available. maybe I should just renew as much as possible.
