Title: How come Cam Followers are like.....
Post by: johnhol78 on October 29, 2011, 10:02:44 am
.....rocking horse poo.

Tried 2 TPS centres, 3 VW, 1 Audi and 1 Seat and 1 Skoda.


Not one has them in stock and takes 2 days to order in. Sort of puts pay to putting my autotech internals in today.  :sad1:

I hope your good at modifying and making spanners and have very small hands?

Alex can fit your RS4 valve as he is good at making and modifying spanners and has small hands.

I know, he fitted mine!

I could have done it, just couldn't be bothered.

I had to butcher a FACOM spanner to fit a G247 sensor what a nightmare! But not as much as that RS4 valve!
