You have a pm.

It is not so much, for me, the quality of the silicone hoses, as it is the stiffness. You really have to clamp down on them to get them to seal. If they are going on a plastic fitting, it could crack or break the fitting. The other thing is they are hard to get on over the rib in the fitting. Too ...

The throttle bodies on the ABZs, in the states, are the same for the years. I have gotten couple for parts. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the throttle bottles for the Automatics are different from the cars that came with manuals.
On automatic throttle bodies, both butterflies open at ...

OE. Using those rubber ones, you will feel you have to crank down on it, making it too tight. I would only use these if down the road, the hole for the freeze plug gets oversized or out of round.

Just my 2 cents.

Greg W.

They are designed for just that. Not casting.
I understand the reasons for only running water and water wetter on a track car, but if you are going to have the car standing for a while, flush it with a water/antifreeze. This will prevent freezing from happening again and it keeps the motor from ...

Does it have a shelf tray under the steering wheel part of the dash or a knee pad?

I was thinking of your car too. Are yours 17” ? I’m hoping these wheels will look ok on the b3. I’ve test fit and they clear front and rear . 17x8 ET32
Yours look great .

As far as the tie rod the boot was torn and thinking I would replace with new I damaged the treads a little , my stupid ...

You have the vacuum booster already. CQ MCs were the largest of the era. You could get one of those and you could also use the OEM CQ brake bias regulator. I know this works with 996 323 rotors up front and UrS6 calipers 288 rotors in the rear. Running this setup for a number of years. You can check ...

I would like to make a suggestion. Since you are not going to have a front air supply to your radiator, I would suggest a triple pass radiator. Fluid takes the path of least resistance. If you use a single pass radiator, you will not get the full cooling effect. The fluid in the radiator will always ...

For your clutch stuff, talk to Mark Swanson at EFI Express. Even though I run a D2 S8 motor in my coupe, it uses 7A clutch and pressure plate type parts. He was able to supply me with what I needed.

As far as 6th TDI gears go, I am running a .56 6th. I love it.
Before you put the FYF box in your car, I would at least do the upgraded 1/2 gear collar.

Greg W.

Big update Alex. Very nice.

Greg W.

Nice.

So the B4 only has outlets on one side of the MC?

Greg W.

Talk to Mark at EFI Express.

Greg W.

You are welcome.
I go by the dealer by me because they give me an employee discount. Maybe since I have been going to them since 1981.
They were the ones who found the update back in the early 2000s. It was actually a second update number. I kept the part number tag that came on the bottle. I ...

Nice job, Alex.

Greg W.

One of the biggest problems with rebuilding brakes is getting the piston seal back on.

What I do is put the seal part way up the piston, stretch out the seal a little and put a zip tie on the upper part of the seal around the piston. Make sure the lower part of the seal sticks out past the lower ...

The car didn't actually overheat, instead the new B4 Febi coolant tank (which took 4 months to get) swelled up and the cap stopped sealing. Ended up replacing it with an old junkyard B3 unit that (so far) seems to be working. This is the 3rd or 4th coolant tank I've put in this car. I don't get it ...

So this will improve your rod ratio?

Nice job on the Grill. Car is looking good.

Greg W.

I can't see it from my house, so it must look good.

Considering that VWs never got the Girling G60s, no. You may be thinking of the brakes that came on a Corrado G60. They were Girling G54s.

I am running V8 Vems from Mark in my coupe. I had him install it and tune the car. Can't say enough good things about it.
