headgasket??

[jaybv6]

happy days! got my golf back tonight! ive still got to get a new timing belt done & ive got a dodgy injector, but its great to driving my golf & not my wee corsa! 

Why  not have the cambelt replaced while having the head gasket done?  The belt only costs a couple of quid and it has to come off to replace the head gasket anyway.

yeah mate, he did mention that to me, hopefully getting a new belt on it this weekend, i also need to replace the first injector too, i'm constantly on the road with work & just had to get the car back running again for the next few days  So hopefully i'll get it changed!

If your going to all this bother replace the timing belt tensioner and the other 3 injectors,  the guru Rubjohnny has sourced alternative merc injectors for a few squid each,  save u hassle in the long run and maybe save a couple of MPG

Yeah, the merc injectors only fit 16v's though don't they? Thought they were for k-jet systems...

BTW, you say you're having the belt changed this weekend? Why didn't you get it done while he had the head (and more importantly, the belt) off doing your gasket?

it was repaired at night time & couldn't get a belt till the next day, but i had to be back motoring by then, a catch 22!    Its a mate doing the belt for me for cheapness & i get all my parts very cheap to as my brother in law owns a motor factors, its jut getting some time or a spare car to jump about in!
