Re: [Mk2] [NA] Gear box-1st & 2nd only

Hopefully just one of the cables came off at one of the ends!! Easier to check the stick end first - just pull the surrounds off and it,ll be obvious when you see it. :thumleft:

Re: how to change a rev3 NA lambda sensor???

Strange! :-k

I removed one from a rev 3 uk n/a a couple of months back and whilst I did a lot of swearing the only thing I removed was the lambda itself!! In fact the hardest thing was locating the bloomin thing.. :mrgreen:

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Worth changing thermostat with cambelt/waterpump?

The oil pump is driven off the cambelt similar fashion to the water pump - do a search but the popular choice seems to be change it at the next belt change i.e not this change the next one :thumleft:

Thermostat nowhere near matey - actually it is but its not hindered at all by the cover, which i think is what you,re after? It,s a 3 minute jobbie if ever needed and there,s really no need to change a working one! :thumleft:
