    New battery spec

    Hi again guys, Thanks for the feedback, Oldschool1 - unfortunately i cannot get these in the UK, and i found out that car batteries cannot be sent via airfreight. However, i did manage to get a 780cca Bosch batt which starts the car just fine, we had -5 deg centigrade the other morning...

    New battery spec

    Hi guys, Well the battery on my MK VII finally gave out after over 6 years, however, i live in the UK and am struggling to find a replacement with the correct exterior dimensions for sensible money. I checked the autozone website and it specifies 850cca, i can get one of these from a guy...

    Front.lower. Control Arms.

    Nothing like!! i was trying to find a pic, but had no luck. The MK VII's are like a pressed steel whishbone. I think 02LSE96LSC91SE84TC might have nailed it, prehaps you are thinking of the MK VIII's? I have never owned a MK VIII so cannot verify this.

    Front.lower. Control Arms.

    I checked these out, but they look completely different from what is on my car ('92 BB) if the MK VII arms are the same as some T Birds, i would guess the mid 80's ones, as dont they share the same platform as a MK VII? Are you sure these are the same part?

    Loss of drive after emerg braking

    Checking front shocks

    The sound is definiately coming from the front drivers side of the car and I did start to wonder if something under the hood had worked loose. The only thing i could find loose was the suspension compressor as the rubber on the mounting bolts has all but disentegrated, but wiggling it around i...

    Checking front shocks

    Hi guys, I am starting to get very concerned about the noise my front suspension is making, kind of a hard clonking noise over slight bumps etc (funnily not so bad over larger bumps!!) ..anyways, the noise is getting louder and more frequent, so im starting to get worried...the car is my...

    Front.lower. Control Arms.

    You can get the front and rear bushings as a set (Moog) from Rockauto, but i could not find the whole lower control arm as an assembly anywhere. If anyone knows where i can buy these online, please post a link as i would like to swap mine out also.

    Setting base timing

    Hey guys, My 92 MK VII BB has been running a little rough of late, with a little hesitation when accelerating from low revs under load. I pulled the codes, nothing on the KOEO but went to check the timing at idle before i did the timing advance test and it was way off..cant remember what...

    Odd looking waterpump gasket

    Hi Ricks90billblass, Thanks for the research! you've been doing some work here. Its interesting how you have turned up two other gaskets. I have the one i purchased installed on the car now, but i took the new images you posted and flipped and rotated them to compare with my gasket (see...

    Exhaust Manifold Gasket

    I never thought of this, it would seem to fit with my syptom, of blowing form that side of the motor. Ill try your method when i get home, if i do have blowing is there anyway of telling if its the manifold or a problem with the head though? i guess the a warped head would show up on a...

    Exhaust Manifold Gasket

    Hi Guys, I think i have a leaking exhaust manifoild gasket on the passenger side, the thing looks almost impossible to get at! is there any easy way to change this, or get at it even? It seems the AC lines are in the way. I seem to have lost a lot of power, and the motor seems slightly...

    Odd looking waterpump gasket

    The old gasket fell apart when i removed it, but if you look at the plate behind the water pump in the picture, you can see the outline of the old pump to plate gasket, i compared it to that. I can get the gasket locally but only as part of a lower engine set. I think the best option may...

    Odd looking waterpump gasket

    Still doesnt fit, the bolt holes dont line up. i have tried it all ways, rotated it, flipped it everything. I can only guess that it is designed to allow the coolant to fill void areas in the water pump case. Ill give it a go later and see what happens!

    Odd looking waterpump gasket

    Hi Guys, I just ordered a new waterpump to plate gasket, but it doesnt seem to fit right (see attached pic) it looks backwards and exposes the voids in the water pump. Im guessing itll be ok, as the outer edge will be all sealed up. I have tried it on every which way and this is the only...
