Re: [Mk2] [NA] cambelt spring tensioner on import
OK I admit I haven't pushed on with this too fast but currently putting things back together after doing the HG. Following the 5S-FE guide pg EM40 is says 'pry puller as far to left as it will go then tighten bolt' .... my question is that after timing belt alignment is the bolt meant to be loosened...

[Mk2] [NA] cambelt spring tensioner on import
Hi Guys, I haven't see a guide for removing and fitting the spring type tensioner for a NA import. Anyone got a link to a relevant BGB? By using a mobile to take pictures all I've seen is a spring to the right of the tensioner. Being out of sight I'm guessing its a fun game releasing and installing ...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] power to radio but no sound
Doh, that wasn't a good start #-o OK, retested feeds at the end of the Kenwood adapter and power confirmed at both red and yellow terminals. So happy with that. Reset up original Kenwwod unit and the plugs from the PC9-411 adapter appeared to connect up OK. http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p581/r...

[Mk2] [NA] power to radio but no sound
Hi Guys, have been looking to sort out lack of sound from the radio. At hand a new Kenwood radio, new adaptor, and then new ISO adapter to audio loom. There's power to the unit and I've head some thumps from the amps. I've checked the radio and dome fuses and they look fine. I've checked the power f...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Small plug near throttle body... where it go?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Small plug near throttle body... where it go?
That plug has beaten me! Normally the wiring is idiot proof but I've tried to look all over and even use camera to access awkward bits and nothing is obvious. Would I be looking at a hard mounted socket or one hanging on a wire? Couldn't find or feel anything useful on the coolant manifold. As the e...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Lift rating for equipment for mk2 engine swap
Thanks Madbass for that scary photo
and hey thanks for sorting out the replacement Rev2 winglets earlier this year as apparently the damage repair was
£15 short of being a write-off and the bodyshop did a great job on the rear quarter.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Lift rating for equipment for mk2 engine swap
That's all good as currently just stock springs and bumper.
Might consider having the fronts on ramps just to provide that extra height.
Height over rear to lift no problem.
Just trying to tick off various things ahead of transplant
