We still dont know your location mate.

I have some window regulators for you? Or Peter Jones.

Fuel flap should just open. If it is staying locked, could be a vacuum leak in the vacuum operated central locking system.

Fuel gate.
Ok heres where the thing gets tricky on the inside panel of the drivers door there is a vacuum pot, but there is no air line coming from the pot or resevoir, i have spoken to the previous owner and he reckons there is no need for the airline as once the 1or2 little thingys are hooked up on the drivers door lock the central locking will work. So i am thinking the fuel flap/gate is not opening because of this.
I will add pics of what i am talking about soon.
I have just found out that i need a new drivers side door lock as part of the hook up between the above mentioned little thingies is snapped again pics soon. Alloy cast has broken and i gatehr this is where i need to hook up the little thingies. Following?

Couple more pics of parts and jobs.
Check the badgey job on the carb intake mainifold, havent looked underneath there yet so it could be nothing more than a gasket or the whole manifold could be up ****.

The drivers door lock central locking obviously wont work.
New module may fix that.

The manifold thing is the baseplate for the singlepoint injection unit.
I have them in stock at about $80 brand new.

The trouble with SEATs is they get neglected as most mechanics at the servo dont know where to get parts for em.

They are fun cheap motoring if you keep up basic maintance, but the proper parts make it easier.

Call me at work if you want any help 0423 051737

Most engine parts are same as 96 Golf CL.
Parts places groan when you say SEAT Cordoba, so tell em CL Golf

The metal part of the handle is a lock eccentric. I can sell you a brand new one for $30

I will be commencing works when she has payed off the transport costs for getting it here kinda trying to teach some lessons at the same time as help her out. She's like every other teenager wants it all but cant afford so the lesson is wait and u will be able to afford it.
Keep me in mind before u go and get rid of the rear door mechanism's.
A bloke up my way has offered me some really nice 18" rims chrome polished 18x7 **** hot looking. Correct stud and all that offset.
Was wodering if they will fit without scrubbing out the internals?

[InDeepVAG]

Oh yeh i know these things are made in spain?
But why would the tappett cover have made in mexico stamped into it? Is it that same old parts are made cheaper there so VW etc?

[Golf Loon]

18s will be huuuuuge on that car. I reckon they`ll scrub everywhere.

VW make parts in Mexico and anywhere else with a cheap labourforce, like all big multinationals.

[InDeepVAG]

Probably better as putting some **** rims on a learners car would become a nightmare with a new gutter mark everyday. Dont think i could handle the annoyance factor.
Yeh as suspected cheap labour.
So Loon do you know the car?????
