Give us a ring if you want more info colin

Hi Ally I will have to stick my nose in that breakers the next time we are going to Hullbridge. For the temp gauge I connected the original VW wiring to the standard scooby sender, as is it will read a bit high but perfectly readable, you can put a resistor in series with the sender feed to make the...

OK chaps latest dumb question having trawled thro' my scooby cd's and finding zilch info. the air bypass valve/idle valve, anyway the nice big grey one strapped to the side of the induction manifold. Whereabouts is it fed air from,I am assuming from the induction pipeing, before or after the MAF sen...
