yep I can listen to music for about 10 minutes and then its flat :cry: I'd say it's fooked!

going well tom. I've got a use for the tow bar now so that'll be staying! Still wish it could be hidden. Get on fb to me sometime. 1.8 needs a service! I'll do the sump plug this time :roll:

Yeah, as fugly as towbars are, they ate really useful, ive used mine every day since fitting it so far lol.

Haha, I have to recheck the dump plugs like 5 times after each oil change now after your one! :roll:

I 'think' yours was cross threaded from the previous service though, cos it was q right bastard to get out if you remember and would explain why it didn't hold well I guess.

Btw...did any of you mechanic people have a look at the vid up there? I don't want to change them unnecessarily...but if they're dangerous I obviously don't want to keep driving on them until they completely break....?

Quick update on this....someones broken thier DMF.... :roll:

Anyway, I'm getting proper quotes for this tomorow, and thinking about an uprated clutch too dependant on price....well I say that, but if the DMF alone costs too much then I'll think about selling up.

But anyway, for now I'm liking the mpgs! Big Grin

And I finally got round to the catch tank lol....

[Image: carnans22412097.jpg]

Oh.....and the brick I'd used as a chock was really useful yesterday! lmao

[Image: carnans22412099.jpg]

As some of you know I broke the studs on the turbo, so I'm getting new studs on tuesday and will be fitting the decat then too. :8)

Thats all for now. ninja

Heh, yeah I'm keeping it going for now.....money permitting! Big Grin

I must admit, I keep thinking about selling it and going for something standard for reliabilty.....but then I think what could I get on my budget with 180bhp that does 60mpg average and costss £130 a year to tax....and can't think of anything. :?

Oh, lowering shocks and springs may be heading towards the golf while its off the road too. Wink Only 40mm or so though.

Are the shocks and springs realated to the fact that they handle like a boat?? lol

Yes. Wink

But after driving the 106.....the golf handling doesnt seem so bad. lol

Although tbh, I easily kept up with my mate a couple of weeks back on the B roads....he's got an xs with a gti beam! :o

The hoses on your oil catch tank look restrictive?

Also, oil catch tanks are for high-revving engines which occasionally let a bit of oil through. How high does the diesel rev in this thing exactly?!

Finally, those shoulder pads might well be comfortable but they are not always safe in an accident, whilst also making your car look like a pensioner-mobile...

Oil catch tanks are for any engine that dumps oil into the intake lol.....the PD chucks shit loads through, just like the TU.....you don't have to be hitting VTEC RPMs to need a catch tank.

Yes the hoses have been re-routed since that pic, the'yre only restrictive where they were kinked.

And I'm not exactly worried about having an accident in the golf lol (well not that sort anyway! :? )........the golfs probably safer than the NAD anyway.... Tongue lol

procta Wrote:anymore luck on getting a turbo for it tom?

No...they're like rocking horse shit!

I found a broken one (big non repairable crack) for £200. Confusedhock: And brand new one, with 10% discount for £700. :?

Tbh I'm thinking about selling the golf for something else now, no idea what yet, but it doesn't seem financially viable or justifyable to fix the turbo and DMF now.

Turbocharged engines are terrible for chucking out shedloads of breather gasses - understandable as you have pressure on the piston rings for 99% of the time - on an NA you have a fair amount of time where they're not under pressure during induction, not to mention the compression ratio of a Diesel... You'll usually find that on a Turbocharged diesel engines, if you adjust ANY of the stock breather system, it'll end up just spewing oil breather gas from everywhere, popping up it's dipstick rather than catching any of it in the catch tank.
