A couple have put it in the boot

[Azman]

@ Rotorboy. Now there is a thought. Where is it on the AAN and ABY engines????

[Azman]

@ PASTURES - Handed?????

[rotoryboy]

under the back seat. You would have to cut a hole and weld a box in I think to replicate it.

034efi.com sell a kit to relocate your battery to the rear cubby hole in the boot.
Here.

I'm sure some of the eS2 USA chaps will tell you what you need if you don't fancy getting it from the US.

I went to pick up the adjusters today and lo and behold I walked in the shop and everyone scarpered (I know I'm big but I'm not scary). After tracking down the guy I spoke to on Sunday to get the part number and see if he could order them and GET them. On sunday he said YES!!!!!! Today he said NO. To say I'm a little annoyed would be the biggest understatement in the world.

SO

I am going to try everything possible to track one or two down and see if I can get some made. Gonna have to be quick as until then I am going to have to keep the car off the road (I don't want to have to by a new tyre every few weeks).

HAs anyone tried to get these manufactured before??????????
If yes how come you didn't do it????????

Cheers

Very Annoyed infact seething with Rage

if we are moving your battery to the boot it means i wont be quite as gooda friends with mr knuckle rash!

[Azman]

@ WAB ????????

Only a thought for me in the future.
Not just yet.
Got to sort all the other bits out first.
Anyone got any info about manufacturing these adjusters?????

[S2central.net]

It would be good to see if we can get a decent engineering firm to make these up. I totally agree. There are some industrial & automotive engineers on the forum... Doubtless they can suggest some companies who can make these at a good price in high quality material.

Unless another part from the family parts bin just happens to fit, but I don't know of it yet.

I will have a hunt today, has anyone checked if the Golf parts fit???????

[Ski]

I will have to check mine too i think. I replaced both steering arms last year and tramlining is a problem at the moment too and I havent been able to track down why yet. So its worth checking

Same here! Mine are only 2 months old ish and im hearing funny noises (apart from the voices in my head).

also when full locked and reversing its juddering :/ could be the faulty suspension mind..

[Greg_S]

I took a look at mine over the weekend & look fine. No play in them at all either, well minimal

[Azman]

Greg where did you get the arms from and how much did you pay??????
