Need some How-to's & Advice please folks!
« on: 09 June 2011, 18:35 »
Hi Guys,

Well, i bought my first VW last week, being a 2001 Golf 1.8T (AUM)

Already done a few things already, like had coilpacks replaced by VW under the recall, simplified the PCV and installed a catch can, changed oil and filter, and had a lovley remap done by the guys @ R-Tech. Anyway, i've a few more jobs lined up, but could do with some help.

Advised on the day of the remap by R-Tech:

I need to change the Fuel filter (where is it, any tips, etc)

I need to change the O-ring on the Pancake pipe (again, where is it and whats the best way to tackle it)

I need to change the Spark Plugs, as not sure when the last change was (what do you recommend and where from? IK22's?)

Any guides or how-to's would be a great help for a n00b like me - i've been a ford man for 10 years... unfortunatley!

Thanks all,
Deano
