supRo Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 If you have an induction kit, a good garage would blow it out with an airline to get rid of some muck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 So how much roughly for the full service including the suspension? Mines banging, presumably the bolts are lose but would rather getting checked properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I have Denso IK24's in my NA, runs like a dream! about 8.50 each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Lilley Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 hmm think ill check them out jody...wana stay with denso/ngk respectively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 A service for an NA, is usually longer than a TT, you have to remove the intake system from above the engine to get to the plugs! PITA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 hmm think ill check them out jody...wana stay with denso/ngk respectively IMO Denso are better than NGK.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A waste of money IMO... Youde be better to spend the extra on a new fuel pump, Walbro etc.... so that everything is working to its optimum...

Al_Lilley Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 good point bout PE belts but was thinkin to future with a single install in mind??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fordyce Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 So how much roughly for the full service including the suspension? Mines banging, presumably the bolts are lose but would rather getting checked properly. I'd also like to know how much i should be paying for a full service. I've been quoted around £430 by Toyota for a 'C' service and i'm considering just using them. I would probably rather go elsewhere but there aren't any specialist garages in the area that i would trust with my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 So what power you want to run? I mean a BPU TT can run 400hp and these can run easily on the standard cambelt... If you NA-T it, to run bigger hp you willhave to chage the head gasket, so the new belt will have to come off anyway... Once off Ide want to replace it with new... Go PE when if you go NA-T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I paid £1034 for a full service on my J-spec TT if that's any help. That included new disks and pads though all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Thats seems a lot! I guess the discs were expensive though? Yes, they were around £400 for disks and pads all round. Plus, the guy I use is probably the most reputable and technically proficient on the forum, and his rates are very, very reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markie Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 How hard is it to change the clutch fluid and where is the drain plug for it? Is it also an easy job like diff oil change or a bit more involved like brake fluid change and watch for air bubbles etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
