Post by: scarr89 on 18 July 2012, 14:14
I assume you got the 130PD diesel correct?

http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/413937.aspx?PageIndex=1

That is a cracking set up and at a very reasonable price, no need for those SFS pipes now  :wink: SFS pipes are very expensive, maybe a better but do what the guy in the above thread did (I also did it, :afro:) and you will notice the difference. Sack off the FMIC...Not needed unless you are going big  :wink:

No catch needed for a diesel (I didn't even know you can put one in :undecided:).

http://www.eurocarparts.com/search/610780015/p/car-parts - They are the uprated bushes for the rear beam which I have just ordered, at a very good price also  :smiley: Far cheaper than the polybushed one  :smiley:

What do you need a new wiring loom for? Just make sure you get the bora vents with the looms already there  :wink:
Title: Re: New boy :D!!!!
Post by: taffythomas22 on 19 July 2012, 08:02
I aint sure what all this 110 130 pd stuff is about i know it signifys the bhp thats about it!!!! It pulls amazing its on par with my old 145bhp vts track car and that was an animal for a french heap!!!

But would it fit a 110 130 or a 150 (its not a 150 lol)

and for some reason the loom wires are missing some of the protective plastic coating and been taped for some reason like some has tried to splice into it????

Check your cam belt cover, or in the spare wheel bay, there will be a little 3 letter code. ARZ is the 130 I believe, not sure what the 115/110 is. How many gears you got? 6 speed will mean it is one of the PD (Pumpe duse) engines, the best kind of engine  :wink:
Title: Re: New boy :D!!!!
Post by: taffythomas22 on 19 July 2012, 14:38
awww iv a 5 speed :( what does that mean??

I think that means you have a common rail injection, instead of a PD engine. Check your engine code, then go to the mk4 section and start posting  :wink:
