well i think so as the top hose into the header tank flows when the engines running which makes me think its obviously curculating, all hoses reach the same temp, just fans dont seem to be kicking in and the fusebox looks ok!

Steve from Alloy Polishing Services. The guy who is polishing my inlet manifold.

I'm sure Jonzy will back me up on the quality of his work.

Anyone got this months Performance VW? Seen the silver mk2 golf with the 1.8t? I want the 'All Smiles" power steering bottle hes got. Looks awesome.

You on about the power stering tank? I'm tempted to get one, then change my catch tank and mount then in a row so they match. Either that, or i keep my ctach tank and get a power steering tank fabricated to match the catch tank. Or.... i just leave it as i just bought a Neuspeed cap for it. lol.


Taking the manifold down to him on saturday. Not sure what to do with the TB side of it, whether to get that polished as well or spray it black or blue.

Should have my polished rocker back next week as well. :D
