Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Coolant bottle delete

With cap open and bleeding it won't have the full effect but for sure is the correct way to bleed. Once the system is closed, it will push out and suck back in based on vaacum only created when it's cooling back down. Gets hot, water and hoses expand, (and coolant into can), cooling down hoses go ba...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Coolant bottle delete

Ha it's cutting a fine line. But I'd never would have installed empty. But regular use maybe goes 2/3 and I'm left with literally a 1/4-1/2 pint id say. So my original 0.5ltr guess is not that faroff. When I had Hg issues in my old expansion tank that sucka would take over 5ltrs when I had an issue....

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Coolant bottle delete

I could see this working before concluding I needed sort my HG on my Gen3.

Re: Car won’t idle and just dies.

Clean out the ISCV. It's a little valve under the throttle body that opens and bypassses the throttle body itself so there's air for the engine to run at idle. Yours could be sticky and not opening hence stalling. It's happened to many including myself. It's also a source for a boost leak if it's st...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Injector leak

Not seen a cracked rail before.

Worth fitting the other seals though for piece of mind.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Injector leak

if its not obvious, definitely worth removing rail from head, keep everything connected, and do the bridge fuel pump trick. i think B+ and FP (dont crank or turn car on) youll soon see where the leak is coming from with the rail in your hand. theres 2 that seal the fuel in. then 1 upper (like a dust...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Coolant bottle delete

the car expels like a 0.5-1ltr of fluid once up to temp and has had a little boost in it.

you should not be removing it at all! you are asking for a massive blow out or major rupture of a hose somewhere.

some cars expansion tanks work different to others, but you shouldnt be removing it.

Re: JLW's ( REV 3 GT spec Turbo, smg Tbar ) YVS Performance Built

what carbon wrap are you using? removable? decent quality?

i thought about doing little bits, do you need to heat it to nicely go around tighter edges/corners?
