it all started when my clutch started slipping so decided to go for the g60/vr6 set up.
so i ordered my sachs clutch from a well known tinterweb site, waited a week and got fed up of waiting so decided to phone.
they tell me there is none in stock and are on a another 10 day wait from germany :angry:.
so, i managed to get a refund and scraped the cash to source one locally :smiley: 25 quid cheaper too.
next was the flywheel, tried every local scrappy with no luck at all, so the internet came to the rescue (ish). found a well known vw breaker and they send me the wrong flywheel :angry:.
so, got another wait now :cry:.

I know that feeling mate, since i got my Turbo back in mid November i have not stopped spending money on it :(
Was up bodyshop last night getting the rust sorted out around the boot handle.
Its all the £20-£50 that add up on the C/C at the end of the month.....(oh and there was the £390.00 coil over kit aswell).
But i'm hopeing there is a light at the end of the tunnel....... :undecided:

anyway sorry to steal your thread Jamie :embarassed:
I had the wrong flywheel sent to me when i had my clutch fitted last year - company tried to tell me they had sent the right one whilst the mechanic fitting it was saying no way is it going to fit :angry:
-
it`s a right sh!tter and to top it off i have now snapped the head off one of the bolts which hold the dogbone to the subframe :cry:

arse :sad:
they are only a couple of quid from the dealer but whether they have them in stock or not is another matter :undecided:

har har :tongue: not as much as you think
tis a strange one in that in 4th gear it drops to 22-23PSI yet 5th gear holds 24PSI :undecided:

I'm sure rtec said why something like that happens in, the january meet thread

I'm sure Nick said he wasn't sure when i spoke to him yesterday :tongue: :grin: :grin:
I know 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears you will never load the engine enough to see that sort of PSI maintained but 4th onwards should do :undecided:
Oh well - new suspension is on the cards and it drives fine at the moment; we'll see in January if i got a problem but I know that my car will be run in 5th gear so it should be fine :grin: :grin:
-
ok maybe i wasn't sure then :grin:
thought about trying 10k boost for dervs?
or maybe a tiny tiny boost leak? but i guess it'd show in 4th as well?

10K boost? What's that?? Like an octane booster equivalent? :huh: I run Forte diesel treatment through every now and again and also only use Total Excellieum diesel which is full of a few extra additives designed to keep everything fairly clean; also means I get at least another 40 miles out of a tank :smug:
If it was a boost leak I'd expect to see it in all gears :undecided:

its like a vindaloo for engine gunk :huh:

but if it was a tiny split rather than a hole, maybe full boost forces it out?
just guessing mind

but 5th gear HOLDS the boost and the engine is under full load more in 5th than 4th gear :smiley:

hhhmmm, fresh out of ideas then really, i guess its not throwing any codes?
