Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Another week another problem......
Ouch. They need to get less brute force and more heat. I've NEVER snapped a turbine outlet bolt. They're not going to be easy to drill and retap. Hope they're not charging you![/quote] No they said i wouldn't be charged luckily. I'm not sure what the plan is, wouldn't it be possible/viable to just d...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Another week another problem......

Edit, re-read......3 snapped studs :( Just an update spoke to garage today and I miss heard them, they haven't removed manifold so slightly better news, the bolts that have sheared are the ones joining turbo ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Another week another problem......
Is it a common failure that hose from hell or is it caused by something specific? I wouldn't of thought the manifold needed to be removed but it's too late now unfortunately, that's the trouble with garages that aren't to familiar with mr2s I suppose.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Another week another problem......
So after getting my leaky t-bar fixed last week this weeks problem was rather dramatic, was driving home from work and as soon as I stopped in the car I noticed plumes of smoke pouring from the engine bay so much that I thought it was on fire, luckily it was steam, turns out a small 3inch long rubbe...

Re: Poxy leaking t-bar
touch wood I fixed the drivers side leak using the silicon trick. I have a bead running across the tbar glass parallel to the roof seal and now it only drips slightly and only when driving in the rain, proof I suppose that tbars do indeed flex on the road. Not heard/thought of that idea before, mak...

Poxy leaking t-bar
As you have probably gathered I'm close to breaking point now with my damn t-bar seals leaking. Didn't start off to bad when I first bought the car only let a few drips in during heavy rain now it just pours in during a light drizzle. Have tried the silicone trick with not much joy. Before u all say...

Just thought it would have said 3S-GTE to match the engi...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Headlight bulb query
I take it they're aligned properly? And not pointing at the floor? I've got OSRAM Night Breaker Plus which are A LOT brighter than standard. I think any thing brighter than them and you'd be looking at possibly HID's which aren't legal in standard headlights. Yes there aligned as they should be, ju...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Headlight bulb query
Just wondering what's the brightest headlight bulbs I can get for my rev1. Iv already put a set from halfords in which claim to be 30% brighter than normal but in the dark the headlights are still less than useless. Cheers in advance for suggestions
