Lacquer Peel Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 It can't be that hard to get a clutch for a parts bin VAG car. Have you looked on OEMEPC? 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Mixed news on this today. Good - the new front springs have arrived:) Bad, "Hello, yes I have to agree, unfortunately your chassis number pre-dates the chassis number fitment criteria and therefore this clutch is not suitable for your Toledo. Thankyou for taking the time to ask the questions and to check your chassis / engine details, sorry it didn't work out. All the best, David" The hunt for a clutch continues.. I'd recommend eBay chap smurdle based on the effort that has gone in to help me track the correct clutch. Coprolalia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to add the above is the later AEE engine code, the earlier one is 1F, smaller clutch disc, but similar engine same output (later is MPI) https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Volkswagen-Golf-MKIII-1-6-1-9-95-97-Caddy-MKII-1-9-95-04-Vento-New-Clutch-Kit/180909668802?hash=item2a1f0e79c2:g:XxMAAOSwpIdW69Ux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 There are apparently 2 options for the 1f lump, my chassis number indicates the earlier one - I shall research and see what I can find:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Today was a day for success. It had been decided. I met my Brother and Split_Pin of this here parish at the Fu'Gutty shack and we set to work. First job was to apply the uggadugga to the topmount bolt. With this slackened off we could turn our attention to the bolts holding the hub to the strut. Application of a short breaker bar had them moving and free in no time. Pulling it off the car was simple and allowed inspection of the obvious issue The topmount was removed, and the spring seat split off. I had bought 2 new springs, and will likely do the drivers and possibly swap the struts for new once an MOT has been achieved Judicious use of the uggadugga saw the new spring compressed and fitted in jig time That done it was time for a pre MOT checkup. All this revealed was a need for an H1 headlamp bulb and the fact that the strike plates for the lights in the bootlid needed cleaning to give foglamps and reversing lights. It's 1 bulb away from being in for an MOT The Moog, Skizzer, Lacquer Peel and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Nice to see things moving along The uggadugga is electric or airated?The Uggadugga is a Clarke battery one. It's not the strongest (often have to crack the bolts with a bar first) but it makes short work of undoing them once cracked. The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Put this in for an MOT this morning.. Now we wait. Already on the way over I was concerned by the occasional rattle from the front right ( not there last week!), and I also remembered how fucked the clutch is.. We'll see loserone, oldcars and Dirk Diggler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 It went in. Unsurprisingly we got a fail. Bulb pattern issue was me fitting the H1 retaining spring incorrectly. Now fixed. This is up in the air to get fixed.. remonstrating fluid already applied. We'll lube up the load sensor and try to work out how to tighten up the handbrake lever - anyone any thoughts?same as MK2/3 Golf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcars Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Not a bad fail, what is a load sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Not a bad fail, what is a load sensor?A valve on the rear brake line that senses if the boot is loaded (changes angle). It controls the amount of braking force to the rear of the car. Very little force is sent if running light, more if the car is loaded. This car has drums rear, discs front and no ABS. Most modern cars use ABS to manage the braking force at each wheel. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigmund Fraud Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 try to work out how to tighten up the handbrake lever - anyone any thoughts?same as MK2/3 Golf The use of "insecure" rather than "no reserve travel" probably means that your extraordinary strength has ripped the handbrake lever bracket off the floor panel. It's a relatively common 1980s/1990s VW problem, and one that is easy to fix with a few tack welds. 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only welding fix I've yet done to a car. 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Handily* the garage has no power so cannae weld there. Additionally, I've wasted a Buchan afternin on a cunting Clio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Welding is more or less the same as a battery drill and some bolts, surely? J4mes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Repairs have been carried oot. Bulb clipped in correctly, Front driver's side spring removed and replaced. The handbrake tightening turned out to be a doddle - just two 13mm nuts to tighten. And some remonstrating fluid plus frantic waggling (fnar) saw the load sensing valve unsiezed.
