    Speedo/drivetrain slop

    Interesting, thanks, I'll investigate the other bushes when I can find a ramp. Not sure where to start with the speedo so any ideas welcome. It seems to read fine but under hard acceleration would read low and bounce around before returning to normal. Vehicle has had a new clutch if that could...

    Speedo/drivetrain slop

    I've just replaced the clutch, flywheel and snub mount on my 1.8tqs and there still seems to be the clonk from the rear if I'm not gentle on the clutch. This points to the front diff mount of course. Firstly, does the windscreen adhesive really work, I would imagine it wouldn't be difficult...

    B5 Nogaro Blue 1.8TQS Avant, A rare thing?

    Rallyman, out of interest, how many miles did your clutch do? Mines on 130k and needs doing asap. I'm prepped to yank the engine out for that and a timing belt/pump/mounts repair/replace unless anyone has any massive warnings for an engine out clutch change?!

    B5 Nogaro Blue 1.8TQS Avant, A rare thing?

    Thats not very decent of him?!! Yours is a lovely looking car though. I just have to sort a minor slop in th edrivetrain and a new clutch soonish and it will bee spot on. Very pleased with it though I think it revs a little too high in 5th at motorway speeds!
