Title: Help! Need a VW Specialist / Good Garage in the Norwich area
Post by: drivebycar on 19 September 2008, 10:20

Hey,

Need a few bits done on my car and was wondering if anyone knew of any good garages to go to? Either that or anyone with a bit of technical knowledge fancy giving me a hand? Will supply tea/beer, food, etc.

Thanks  :smiley:

Hi mate,

Just a bit of help and that really from someon in the know. Looks like im doing an engine swap now though so the problems are a bit irrelevant!

I also have a 91 8v digi, fun trying to get it running properly isn't it? :)  What are you planning to do with the pb engine if/when you remote it?

Yeah its hard work, was gonna try and use rubjonns tune up guide, but I need to steal a timing light and a CO2 meter off a mate first! Probably selling the engine, why are you looking for one? Its got a small coolant leak, but looks like its coming from the front of the block and we just done the HG, cambelt, waterpump, oil filter, and a few other bits a month or 2 ago.

got a ported+polished, big valve head, with newman cam + 2.0 bottom end to go in next week  :cool: Should be good for 140bhp and 140ft/lb! So looking forward to that one  :laugh:

Might well be interested in the head if you would contemplate splitting.

By far the best garage around Norwich area has to be Dunkirk Garage in Aylsham 01263 732900 & ask for Pete.. Super friendly guy & confirmed Dub lovin' petrolhead!
He knows how to set up Mk2 8v & 16v a treat & is pretty cheap compared to most.. I take mine to him every year for a tune & I'm amazed at how she runs afterwards.. Top bloke is Pete, though very busy most times so it's best to ring & book it in.. He also offers a FREE courtesy car but ask if you need one..
Hope that helps if you can't get your 8v quite right mate?
