Is this right ??

OK

1st Issue Im loosing my mind slowly - No help needed there

2nd issue - 1995 Golf GL 2L

- In this picture see the two little bolts inside the ( oil hole ? technical term ) are they suppose to have nuts on them to stop that plate from moving ?? or not like it is at the moment.
I can currently get my finger under it and flip it up and down a little ??

Car is currently off the road and im slowly working throught a list of issues

Also 3rd one for today
chasing the split 2 way pipe that went here - it had a hole in it so my mechanic used electrical tape and did it too tight and just destroyed the pipe ( it collapsed in on itself ) ive been quoted a 3-5 week wait by Austral Motors

Any help would be greatly apprectated

2nd issue. It's just a plastic splash guard and as far as I can remember it just sits there.

The splash guard just sits there on top of the studs which secure the cam bearings in. There are nuts underneath the guard which you cannot see. don't pull the cover off. No point.

That pipe that died is a common failure, a new one is a good idea and shouldn't kill your wallet.

I had the same problem with your 3rd issue - mine was split where it joins to the two valves. Got mine for much less than $170 at a parts shop in the Sydney region. Ask/look around for VW parts stockists around your area!

Please dont spend too much buying new VW parts in Brisbane...(diplomaticaly speaking)....

KMJ at Sumner Park has a few Mk3's ph. 3279 4101
Imparts at Eagle Farm for your new parts and consumables..for example..
Water pump for my mk3...Dealer=$350-$400
Imparts= $45...
I dont have Imparts number on hand, but you can look it up.

GL Golfs are great to work on, best thing is when something is slightly stuffed they still run pretty well. Pretty hard to kill. Good Luck..

Hi. Got the two tailed rubber pipe from VW (breather tube they called it) $25.25, genuine part, incl GST. I would assume that is the standard price??
