Yeh it sheared the head off the hex screw. That gun isn't even that powerful. I drilled it out and replaced the screw but didn't show it

@@AndyMcGeever oh well at least you know for the next time! 😁

I converted the rear brakes from a 1.8 4 stud sxi. You can keep the original axle but need the brackets and caliper carriers, discs, pads and handbrake cables. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZiYmYuCd7x0rLs

Yeah, I know that I don't need the complete rear axle but I think that it is not necessary to change wheel bearings, but rear brake pipe lines and hand brake line are different, so I'll try to get them. I had seen your videos of conversion but I don't see how you connect them to the new disc brakes and how you modified them to make it possible

@@juanfranciscofernandezmart6633 I didn't have to modify anything because I had the full car to swap everything required over from. It was a few years ago now so I can't remember everything exactly but to find all these parts without a donor car could be difficult. It may be quicker cheaper and easier to buy a mk5 astra h and just convert yours to 5 stud.

@@RobertMorodan there could be a wiring fault. If the fault is not fixed the code will remain active and not clear.

Ok.. but what wiring are you refering to? The pump had new cable.

@@RobertMorodan It could be before the pump. If everything was fine the code would clear as soon as you installed the new pump. Either that or it could be a blown fuse.

Hmmm, there is very little space down there as you know very well yourself but i will try and see if everything is ok. Do you know by any chance wich the one is the fuse? Thanks a lot man

@@RobertMorodan I honestly can't remember where the fuses would be it has been over 3 years now since I did this repair. There might be a wiring diagram online somewhere for it that would be your best bet!

@@SinethembaMadikizela-h1c I bought them from ebay a few years ago. I'm not sure if they are still available.

@@keithrimmer3 if you are here to criticise don't watch my videos. They were not there originally and are not needed for this car. Make a video yourself if you don't like it I'm only trying to help people to fix their cars if you want to add some plastic and rubber bits that's fine

I've already sold it sorry

That's a very late GTi (1984) so will be a 1.8.

@@Zoli-h9c you definitely should check the wiring and plugs

@Street_Fitter I needed tó unlock it with another device... It works fine now 👌

@@lilempire4300 yeh had a front end smash. I just hammered it back in place but needs replaced. Had to change the bonnet as well (in another video) wouldn't fit right till I knocked it down a bit lol

@@romandragalev2366 yes much better handling

@@niklasmodd9789 the lobes are designed to move if there is an impact on the valves so that the valves are not damaged on this engine. I'm not sure if the belt completely snaps if the valves would be ok but on mine it was just some of the teeth came off. I just replaced the camshaft, rollers and lifters and fitted the new timing belt kit and the engine was fine afterwards.

@@Street_Fitter had today exactly same situation in my car, cam belt teeth broke. You gives me hope that I might be ok in my car, I will pass this information you have in video to the engineer. Thank you so much again for this amazing video indeed ♥️

@mohamedferas2070 yes it should be fine not bad to repair

It depends on the condition of the bolts. If they were worn I would have replaced them but they were still fairly new.

@@Street_Fitter Well, If you screw them exactly with 90nm 180° you can use them again, but i didnt see you doing that. These bolts bend, If you overbend them, they are "screwed" If you dont bend them enough they are a safety issue. In both ways it would be a safety issue, at least use locktide

@@Independentschlueder Ok I appreciate the advice on this but it has now been over 3 years and no problems.

@@Street_Fitter its a difficult topic. Different opinions. If a proshop doesnt replace these screws you can charge them in case of a brakemalfunction. But people have different experiences. i think the exact momentum is important plus copper spray them before mounting.

@@Independentschlueder Yes I agree! I always use copper slip grease when refitting bolts, you can see this on them when they are fitted although the video has been edited and I have not shown the application. I am not working in a proshop, I just make a video when I work on my cars and hopefully that will help other people to fix their own.

@@andrzejkolano8596 no you don't bleed it just replace filter and you're good to go!

@@Street_Fitter thanks buddy. That’s very helpful video. Best wishes 👍👍👍

@@rejho5 yes mate

@@Street_Fitter thank you

Remember you would need to put the seat belts in as well which may be awkward but if you have a donner car everything will be there at least. You will also lose the ability to carry a spare wheel.

@@Street_Fitter i know, 4 child is on the way so i need it

@@rejho5 congrats mate I've got 4 kids but ended up getting a bigger car now they're getting older we needed a bit more space. Still have the Touran as a backup tho

@@K2edg unplug the sensors individually and check what codes come up so you can tell

Yeh same here! Getting too old for it myself as well lol Could probably drop it within a few hours depending on how easily the bolts come out. Couldn't tell you how long because I just did a bit here and there.

@@Street_Fitter That is why it is handy to have spare wheels to get about lol. That is always the problem with bolts damn corrosion. I had a Mondeo I had to drop the subframe a bit to prevent the lower arm bushes being damaged. I was always wary of the captive nut welds breaking and the subframe bolt just spinning. Motors can be a pain at times. All the best.

@@spook_dad it could mean the caliper carrier. You would only need to replace the caliper not the carrier. Check first though make sure it is the caliper that is at fault. Would be best to replace the pads as well and possibly the discs depending on condition and clean everything up and grease the guide pins etc.

@@Street_Fitter I did it all on my mk4 about 6 years ago, I'm going to do the pads and try and remember where i put the red rubber grease. The pictures don't show the caliper carrier so i'm still not sure what the holder is, might pop down to halfords to have a look at them in person then order from am more reasonably priced outlet. Thanks for the quick reply

@@spook_dad I've just done one on an audi a3 cost £50 with vat from a local parts shop.

@@backa9221 yes the egr valve causes the carbon to deposit in the pipes. You can blank it off with a metal plate.

@@jenshoffker5702 why not?

@@farnhamclose11 usually if it hasn't run for a while but nothing to worry about it soon clears up

Yes could be the wiring although it's not uncommon to buy a faulty sensor. Is the sensor oem?
