I'm Essex, were abouts are you always worth a trip if they are free, I can give you some rear coil overs if you wanted? Again for free and not my cup of tea Ha. I'm 200 + miles west of you :???: For what it would cost to collect or to post (i cant arange post as im stuck in work 7-7+hours a day)I'd...

Mk3 should fit, the rear top mounts are different but fit on the shock & the mk3 has a 10mm bolt fixing at the lower also opposed to the b4's 12mm but its workable The fronts should be a direct fit Where are you? If close enough to collect I have good standard b4tdi shocks in my scrap pile going...

Just as an add on for this as of march all cars fitted with airbags must have them fitted and working, only found out yesterday when a mate's car failed mot as the front seats had been changed and the airbags hadn't been wired up on them and the guy at the station told him about the new changes if ...

they did fit a AFN to the late b4, but in this country they are few and far between :( Yeah I had a look for an AFN but they are hard to find. Is the engine just a straight swap in mounting wise? Mk3 golf motors should be no problem, the inline (b5) type have different flywheels / sumps & pick-...

A ali copy sounds good, how much would that be?

Nooooooo. Don't break it (but if you do I'll have some bits )

I'll sort summing out for you


Hopefully

How desperate are you?
I have 2 cylinders but need 1 for assembly so will try to remove the plastic stub & copy it in alloy (should be easy )

Rich.

Righteho, the feed is a plastic stub fitted into a rubber gromit in the clutch m/cylinder

B4???
I'll have a look at the ones in my garage

Rich.

sorry for the wanted in the B3 & 4 section but I presume its got a better chance :oops: I am re-assembling my AAZ & 'box ready for use & have a few missing bits so hopefully the forum can help B-) I'm after a set of bolts that connect the engine & gearbox & front mount (starter f...

Incase it's of interest to others, http://www.christiantena.pwp.blueyonder ... i/ccs.html has details & part numbers but I'm not sure how recent the numbers are
Gonna get prices to mix hopefully so will report

Rich.

Thanks for the confirmation, I've found a web page with the golf part numbers so might try Tps (but Ill have to take a chair to sit on when asking )

Rich.

As titled really, how common are the cruise stalks for b4 (tdi) ?
Are they same as mk3 golf items

Thanks guys

Rich.

I keep seeing a few b4's around here & it seems that there are a few b3 wagons local including a nice red 2l that might be coming on the market

what engine? carb or inj as they will have diferent issues

look for airleaks & if carb the rubber 'isolator/insulator' between manifold & carb is a favourite for being poo

airbag light removal.... get a cheap fault code reader or go on ross-tec's website (think http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-lite/download/index.html will be suitable then when you have fault-codes http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page )& download vcds then buy an ebay vag-com / usb lead...

you wont get more reliable than a b4 tdi :D Had one, killed it :hyst Replaced it with a b5 (estate)....... Possibly the most boring drive of my life, smaller inside than the b4, worse on juice, more money thrown at its suspension than the bloody car cost & needs more spent to pass next mot :evi...

I've seen a few b4's on evilbay lately but mostly in the south east

Wouldn't mind a b3 estate....

Rich.

might have a

bellows for the mirror adjuster (same as B4)

, will have a dig in the shead of dread

Not sure how practical this is, but I would be inclined to disconnect both track rods at their rack ends and try it with them disconnected just to make sure that the problem is actually related to the rack, the PAS system or even the steering column and not further on. It may be that you have a def...

If they are the ones i think..... You can withdraw the terminals from the plug (I have Bosch tools for this & if you were close etc.) & see the colours on the insulation that's usually hidden :wink: If you look at the side of the plug that attaches to the sender there are holes above & b...

Check the fuel pump multi plug & engine multi plug (round thinggy at the back of the engine) for corrosion or secure connection, also there's a few earth connections for the motor wiring aswell as the main battery earth

Costs nothing but a few mins
