I know :tt2: I rushed it :tt2:!! I`m sat here with oil all over my hands and clothes, and starving hungry, been in my garage all day and stink, so i better have another go later

Very nice, good job dude

I dont know what you lot are on about :lol::lol:

I must say that is one nicley polished plenum!!! How the hell do they polish all the nooks a crannys? mine looks crap compaired to that!!!

Yeh nice one dude, Luckily thats how I guessed it should go, and then looked at the picture from Groover, dead lucky as the silicon was setting!!! CheerZ mate

Spot on, Thanks for the help again troops, what would I do without you?

right!!! now I am confused?

Beany baby to the rescue!! You know what, I`m a cock, I`ve just looked at my pictures again and it clearly shows them after the plenum!!, I was hoping to hide them under it, but wont bother now, its too cramped under there CheerZ bean bag

Oh... he`s gone? :blink:

Looks like Groover baby to the rescue again, I owe you some drinks at this years Jae :biggrin:

Me again :biggrin: I`m just putting the plenum back on and forgot how the wires to the injectors/coil packs go? do I plug the injector plugs on one side first the sit the plenum on or do they all plug in after the plenum is replaced?? CheerZ

:tt2:

CheerZ Dudes!!!! Just back in from doing it, I tried a bit of both methods!! 1st I sprayed engine gunk into the plenum in all directions, left it to soak all the crap up for 20 mins and then stuck the Karcher down the holes and jet washed the whole thing out!! worked a treat and looks like new inside now, taaa very mucho and the thermo is on now, I knew which way it went in but wasnt sure if it needed to be in a particular rotation, but it seems ok, all ready for the big switch on tommorrow, once the plenum is dry!!! whooooo

lol, oh yeh, I must try harder!!! I`ve been too busy with the car so at least its a good excuse, mmmmmmmm what theme should i have this year??

just 2 quickies lads; is there any special way the thermostat goes in? ie , it can spin 180 degrees? and after polishing the plenum what should i wash it out with to get rid of the metal particles? cheerz in advance

lol, no, not done them yet!

No mate, lol, that was my scrapper i used for parts, Lee rescued it from the crusher!! the shell is really good, my tt is locked away for winter

Glad your happy with it Lee and it will be great to see my old car back on the road again, nice to meet you today and glad you got home ok!! Daz.

CheerZ Alan, Yeh I get your drift :thumbup1: just as I wanted it to look, nothing added, I hate all the aftermarket add ons, less is more Thanks

Thanks again for the offer Gruntpa64, but the lad has just mailed me and will be posting them out for me (I hope) he`s been on call out at work and very slow at getting back with e-mails ect, so fingers crossed they should arrive next week CheerZ Daz.

Never seen one in the flesh, but a quick google finds this pic

Ok, thanks for the offer, I will e-mail him again and see what happens, not holding my breath though, He`s probably been busy over the festive peroid, but why do people sell stuff and then not get back? strange? I will let you know thanks Daz.

Bit more info, place name is Abbey meads CheerZ

Hi, Just favour please, I`ve won some coilovers on e-bay, I did originally ask the seller if i could use a courier to collect and he said its fine, now after several e-mails hes not getting back to me fast enough, (seems to wait 2/3 days to reply?) and I`m worried that if i do get a courier then he wont be there to hand them over! So is anyone willing to collect them for me and I will get the parcel picked up from your house/work, I think this way i have a better chance of actually getting them! of course i will pay any fuel/time costs to yourself thanks in advance Daz.

Last few, i hope these are what you wanted mate, I think its cost more in phone calls than the actual car,lol, just as long its what you want, i dont envy your rebuild task especially the wiring loom!! :thumbup1: Got the log book aswell.
