£106 inc vat which I thought was pretty impressive for the work they've done. They turned it round in less than 24 hours for me as well.

Ok so got the head back today, looks the part. Amazing turn round a great service from a little firm called stanwood engineering, if anyone in the south yorks region ever need machining etc, there guys are great and very reasonably priced.

As you can see from the photos, the water channels have ...

Was leaning that way. So I took it to my local engine rebuild and maching specialist, they seamed fairly confident they could reweld and machine back to improve the contact area for the gasket. Quoted a reasonable rate and should have it turned round by close of play tomorrow.

So fingers crossed ...

Right, so I've been chasing an overheating problem for some time, it's never boiled over, just temperature gauge all the way to the right and flashing red light. Anyway, changed all sorts and still same. I had a feeling the coolant system was over pressurising as I seamed to be chasing leaks, as ...

Ive had a look today and there is no metal flange on the side of the block, mine is plastic with no sensor in it. I did however bridge the one I though was the temp gauge (the bottom black one) and got full scale reading on the dash, so that that one. Also I got part numbers off all three sensors as ...

Cheers, I'll try this first.

I'll give a bit of background to the question, I'm having an issue with overheating, or so the gauge reads. I've changed the expansion cap, top pipe to the expansion bottle and thermostat. Can't see any leaks anywhere, did a compression check, all fine. Checked returns ...

So where dose the signal for the temp gauge on the dash come from?

Just a quick one, there are three sensors on the front of the engine block, in the cooling pipe, one black, red and gray, I think the black one in the bottom is the temp gauge, I assume one of the two on the top is the fan switch (not shore which) but no idea on the third one. Dose anyone know which ...

Small problem yesterday, happily driving allong and the accelerator peddle disappeared from under my foot, luckily not far from home so rode it slowely back on the manual choke, on removal of the underside of the dash small perished bits of what looks like rubber fell out and it could be seen that ...

Thanks for the response, fallowed it through to vw classic parts and found part number c161 837 219 which is the HV profile, this looks to be the same for all mkII sciroccos. Going to get one orded now, love the original keys.

Hi, new on here, just been looking for a while, got me a mk 2 gt2 but have no original keys, found some on blanks on eBay HV profile but unshore on profile? Anyone know what it is? I think its stamped on the originals but I haven't got one.
