Normal to fun drivesused to take it gentle for the last couple of mile ie coming through the town and give it 30seconds. This used to have the oil temp back down around 95. After a real hard blast a it could take a few mins for the oil temp to come back down Thats was on the old 1.8t

I use an apc i get from work. Daisy can be gotten in most tescos

5% mix apc and microfibre for me

OK cheers for the help have found the part numbers. although mines in an 09 i went back a year to 2008 and found both part numbers under there. does now show as being a 069 R part Cheers for your help Fubar much appriciated Paul

had seen yours but mines has the 3 circles trim. Colour is the same thou On the second page of that useful parts page theres a section thats in a mixture of german. I found my part number in there for climatronic radio no phone so used the one that was directly above or below it for climatronic navi no phone Cheers

55mm But i thought it was 15mm lower

Sorry 2009 and its silver part im after Cheers

Trying to gather the parts needed for the swap and have hit a wall with the surround Current part number is 1Z0 858 069 J - which searching ETKA brings up with trim for switch and 2au for the bright alum turned as colour, however when searching manually i cant find this part. it looks like it should be under item 10 on illustration 857-20 anyone one any idea what one i need for the columbus.looking at the useful part numbers page 2 within the german section i think i should be after 1Z0 858 069 R 2AU but again i cant find this manually on ETKA, shows up fine when searching for the part can someone please confirm Thanks Paul

Standard radio din size mate Good if you had a double din radio as standard then fitted a single din

See i was looking at the b6 but couldbt justify the basic double in price for how often i push it when the b4s were less than half the price Will have to have a look at both tomorrow when im back on a computer

Can i ask what ones you went for ?

I find my reception isnt always the greatest

Now on ebay Item number 110882402299 Starting at 95 delivered

Its supposed to be on varible just now but not checked

I know the vrs is 55mm but couldnt tell you about the non vrs's On the brakes side ive the 312mm setup for sale on here but its going on ebay tonight as no offers. Item number is 110882402299 Starting price off 95 delivered

I actually like it. But think the handle now looks out of place due to the chrome

Is there any way of getting the oil temp to display on the maxidot ? Couldnt see anything on vcds, other than displaying it as a measuring block, but still trying to get used to it. I have the fiscon basic plus installed for the bt but the efma shows oil temp at -59 all the time Failing this is there any guage a good match for the skoda green? i used to have the newsouth ones installed in my vw and they were a perfect match

Interested in this as well as mines are needing a refurb and thought about colour coding

Dont think they are Callipers have 57mm piston whereas the mk1 had 54mm Also think the mounting points on the carriers are different

Ive had 1.4, 1.6 vti civics and a 2.0 twin carb prelude Gotta admit the prelude was the most involving drive and turned the most heads mainly due to the pop up headlights I went for the tdi bora after the lude for a mix of the torque and economy, hated having to drop to through the box to overtake and sub 20mpg. Shame the exess for a diesel at the time was stupid due to fuel prices Garage had a 1.8t 6spd bora in quick shot in that and i was sold. Less than 19k on the clock for just under £6k When that was written off i did look at the 2.2 accord diesel along with the golf tdi and vrs All cars had their good and bad points What used to get me when i had the bora was the slagging type r hondas and appaernt owning got on the mk4 forum. On straight roads with modded cars against standard ones. Sorry but as much as i loved the bora your golfs wouldnt have stood a chance in the twisties with a ctr with same mods. Each to their own the octy suits me for size confort and alothough its no as quick as the bora im hoping a remap helps close the gap a bit as really do miss it at times. Bar the sub 30 average mpg

Mines has been run on a mix of shell normal and tescos diesel. Has also has a few tanks of vpower derv through it and couldnt tell the difference. However a mate borrowed it and but £30 of morrisons diesel and it stank like hell and didnt feel like it was running right. Now ive always stayed as far away from morrisons as possible since i tried running my civic on it. Ran like it wss fueled on spanners, stank of eggs and i could have probably pushed it faster. But mate wasnt to know she normally just give me the money as she knew i was fussy with the bora as it was mapped for. Vpower Does anyobe know if once mapped you notice a difference between normal diesel and super?

Already spoke to him. He doesnt have the facility to bench remap the cr ecu. So trip to shark hq at some point
