    I think writing "something" is a good contribution. It adds a pub banter feel to the threads, a little humour and the odd tangent are all part of the exchange as it would be face2face. It can't all be an encyclopedic web guff dowmload or fact farts surely?

    • Had to buy a full timing belt kit which was annoying. I couldn’t find a decently priced IP belt kit that would arrive in less than 15 weeks or something daft and I already ordered the engine timing belt kit before I decided to go Tdi so I didn’t have the right IP belt, guide and tensioner.

      The ECU, engine loom and cluster loom arrived along with the inner cv boot kits:

      • Did Reg supply this lot?
        I know it's not particularly important to you TP but did you get the ECU brackets,clips and plastic shroud to stop it rattling around or the moisture getting or in your case squirting oil?

          No he didn’t.

          No brackets, that’s what cable ties are for.

          • Hi Tommy. That's when things become unreliable when fixed by cable ties and not done properly

              You could be right, I’ve got loads of 50mm screws spare from a job so I’ll screw it to the battery in that case. Best to be safe than sorry.

                          I did consider fitting the gearbox via an extremely large V band round the bell housing.

                            I thought the gearboxes just ripped themselves out as there’s So much torque

                            • Got nothing else done as I took the golf for an MOT, they were running late, I picked up some more Tdi shite and then it was dark. Failed on:

                              Rear brake pipes
                              Emissions (2/4 lambda sensors are fucked)
                              A random rust hole in the floor pan near the seatbelt mount
                              3/4 CV boots on the front are shagged
                              Passenger interior door handle rod has fell off so it won’t open from the inside.

                              Then on the way home the crank sensor shat itself again and it started preparing me for life with the work van having an ECU and gave me a taste of limp mode misery.

                              • I’ve got the Volvo pump to go on but the it pump has an 8 pin connector (7 used) and the VW one has a 10 pin connector. Trying to dig out a VW lid to stick on it. I figure that should work.

                                There’s a couple wires that have been cut on the loom too and I’ve no clue what they’re for, the seller said they were alarm stuff but I’ve no idea: the pic doesn’t show the rest but I’ll have to find out what these do and where they should go.
