Quote from: "markiii"replace nuts with nylocks

nylocks on the exhaust bits would seem like a bad idea to me - the nylon will probably melt..

Oval nuts would be a good one, though (single use, they deform to grip the stud by becoming round), or use the old trick - one thick copper nut followed by a thin half-thickness copper nut wound on to the back of the first.

i really wouldn't fit the chargecooler Phil, this could create more problems than its worth for Gas, i'll fit the rad for you but do the guy a favour and dont fit it.

You: Passport, Driving License, Logbook, Holiday insurance, Camera & phrase book, card PIN numbers, GBP cash (you never know what it'll buy you!), Map/GPS European Maps, Wig and medallion s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Car (optional): Cable ties, Gaffer tape and basic tools - just in case. Euro breakdown cover - again, just in case (and you generally have to notify them in advance that you're going).

re. IGN harness - Gas doesn't map IGN as standard, but I'm guessing you've arranged to have this done?

Worth making sure you have the latest firmware upgrade for wideband too, but this is available online.

Follow-up activities: bring back Ste's sandwich plate and haggle for a MAF-TB pipe for me?

9 mm to 12 mm box wrenches and a couple of screw drivers should do it. Gloves as well if you end up having to work on any hot bits.

spit · March 15, 2006, 20:54

I'd also go with a smaller hex ratchet socket to tighten the jubilee clips if necessary (6mm I think, or is it 8?) - so much easier on your knuckles than using a screwdriver s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

philster_d · March 15, 2006, 21:04

Work on hot bits - ?

I honestly wouldnt have a clue, thats a risk I guess

Anonymous · March 15, 2006, 21:42

Phil, definately get yourself a pair of welder's mitts: They're pretty much heat-resistant, and if a bolt or clamp comes loose on the way back, you'll definately need them on to work anywhere near a hot turbo/exhaust.

Trust me on this, I had to do some emergency repairs about 30mins after leaving Mark's house the first time after my install. They're only about a fiver anyway, and will be worth their weight in gold should you need them.

philster_d · March 15, 2006, 21:46
