Hi,

Our 97 1600 golf CL is missing a few of the hoses from the vent and intake on the engine.

Have been quoted about $500 to get the parts new and can't afford that so i'm going to buy a new ventillation union and try and make the rest of the hoses and fittings in the machine shop at work.

Does anybody out there have a 1600 golf that they can send me a few pictures of the parts circled in the picture attached and what the fittings look like at the ends, especially the end which goes into the block.

Thanks very much if anybody can help us!

GTI's

They need to be under 100kbs for the site attachments, easier to use img codes off a hosting site like  photobucket.com
shouldn't cost much at all.

Next question, I've got the VR6 and the mrs has the 1.6litre and i have new spark plugs for both of them...

I have read that there is a special tool that should be clipped to my bonnet stay for getting the plug leads on and off, aside from the fact that mine is missing and i also need to know wherre i can buy one? does this tool fit the 1.6 litre too? as i can't get them undone by hand, they are very long caps.

Thanks guys,

You can also try Dubshack, Euroline, AA wreckers, VW Farm and Eurospec for parts.
The spark plug tool is usually on the bonnet stay but as they are plastic most are broken already, the plug connectors can be very tight and the fact tool won't remove them.
