Title: 16v 1989 possible problems
Post by: scunny-gti on 20 May 2006, 11:52

right ive just bought myself the bush repair kit off ebay and whilst looking in the engine bay at wot bushes need replacing i couldnt find how many there actually are to replace.
and whilst the engine is running i had a look and lookin at the oil filler plug(i think it is, its green bit of plastic on the top of the gearbox?) i could see something was spinning round inside i presume its the clutch but  am i missin a part to stop the oil coming out...sorry if these questions sound stupid but thanks in advance

Ahhh!  :shocked: The green bit of plastic is not an oil filler plug, its the hole for viewing the flywheel timing marks. Don't put oil in there or you'll screw your clutch. There should be a smaller plug that fits in the green bit to stop crap getting into the clutch housing, nothing will leak out 'cos theres no liquid in there.
What bushes are you trying to replace? Gear linkage maybe?
