Hi

Anyone one know where I can get an oil pressure relief valve spring and an oil pressure control valve spring?

Or the whole units :ok

As a last ditch attempt at my engine I will replace these along with the oil strainer :x

the oil strainer is a cleanable item..
the spring should be available from VW

OK, I might just get the gaskets then as I cant work out which one to get on JK. There seems to be two, one at 6.90 and the other at 3.80

When you say VW, is there a number to ring or is it a visit to my local vw dealership/garage

Cheers

Mate, not local to you, but try my local VW dealer (Sinclairs) here in Cardiff: -

029 2049 2100

Ask for Rhys in the parts department. He's always very helpful and has an interest in classic VWs himself. Tell him what you're after and he'll do his best to help you out, i'm sure. Not the cheapest option, but i've found his knowledge worth paying a bit extra for in the past :D
