my vans cursed!

[gemini]

At last
Something positive about a MK6 (other than they drive a bit quieter than a MK5)

heres another for you, the front wings are a doddle to change

That's three reasons to own one (still hundred not to though )
Are the wings bolt on (looks like Ford learnt a lesson from the MK5 wings )

yes, they are bolt on

hi i changed my water pump on my mk6 2.0 tdci fwd, remove grill,rad,intercoler few pipes bit fiddly can be done took me 4 hours i could do in 2 next time as i didnt no what i was doing. hope this is some help mike.

next time i would suggest leaving the rad in place and taking out the inlet manifold and dropping the starter motor, working in the engine bay from above and only crawling under it to get the bottom mounting bolts

you'll be much quicker then

I would of done it that way if the plastic nuts on front of air manifold weren't knacked. It was a Saturday and i needed the van for Monday and i didn't want to make things worse. You did tell me this in my previous post when i needed help.

Hi, Fords wanted £350.00 to do mine,£129.00 that seems quite reasonable thats why i done mine myself.
