Hi Guys
Miggy's ticking over a bit rough (and sometimes, but only rarely, conks out when quickly shifting into reverse), so I'm in the process of plenum spring clean, replace dis pack, leads and spark plugs.
Just got the plenum off and started to clean the breather bridge. Yellowy goo was oozing out of the the left hand smaller tube of the four breather tubes at the top. Plenty of mayo came out of that baby. I took piccies but can't seem to attach them.
Normal... :) or something horrible? :'(
Cheers in advance

Normal i would've thought, although quite a lot. I had some small bits of mayo when I last cleaned my breathers 3k ago. Just keep on top of it. I do mine every 3k with an oil change

Seems to be a lot of coil packs being replaced just recently, around here i know of a few that have been replaced ...unusually 3.0 elites ::)

Don't forget the quick way of cleaning out the breather pipes. Stick an air line in one end, POINT IT AWAY FROM YOU, and turn on the air. :y :y :y ;D ;D ;D

I know this is a real rookie question but has anyone got any tips for getting the windscreen wiper arms off? Mine are stuck on like a real bastard and I don't want to bust anything trying to get them off. Cheers.

You should really have started a new topic ;) ;) ;)
remove the nut, then waggle the arm slightly and they'll usually come off quite easily. Failing that, you can buy a specific puller for wiper arms although I don't particularly rate them ( & yes, I do have one ;))

The way that I've always done it is to undo the nut but not remove it, then fold the arm @ the hinge so that the blade is not resting on the screen and gently but firmly rock the arm against the spindle/splines. The reason not to take the nut off totally is to prevent you whacking yourself in the face when it suddenly frees itself.

Thanks guys - I'll go and have a wiggle and a rock. ;D
-
Wahey! The wiggle worked a treat. I love this forum. Thanks again.

I'm not bothered either way, but new questions tagged onto existing threads will often get over looked because people assume that the original thread is ongoing and if they have no further interest won't carry on reading it ..... ;) ;)
