who has done the Golf brake servo mod

[Andy335Touring]

So the 23mm one is from the squarish Audi coupe like the UR Quattro Turbo shape and the 25mm one is from the rounder coupe like the S2/RS2 shape ?

140 quid new from ECP !!!!!

None on ebay either

[buster]

perserveer (sp?) andy,i got mine from ebay and it was new ,i think it was Ԛ£30 !!!!

The m/c is off the later coupes ,not the square ones.If you ask Ian Haynes ,i think he knows exactly which models are fitted with what.Again though when i tried to find one some of the cars listed didn't have a 25mm one installed.

The 25 mm one has the 25ZV on it.
I did try and put up the lists but when i host them they come out tiny.

[Andy335Touring]

Thanks mate

Andy my local breaker has a 2.2 90s coupe and i have a mate breaking a pranged 2.1 coupe quattro 80s shape (i got the drivetrain in the boot of my m535i don't ask why! )

so i think i can sort u one out, i don't really need one as my brakes work ok as they are!

got the mail about the US purchase, looks fab dude!

The shorter later one will be very handy mate if you would be kind enough to get it for me the next time you are down there ?

Well chuffed with that TB, i ended up opening a paypal account so i could pay for it straight away so i can get it quicker.

What have you decided to do with your TB, are you welding it on or bolting ?

I had a look on ebay for a spare manifold to use whilst i mount the TB to my port matched manifold but some rob dog wanted 50 quid !!!

I will have to pop over to yours some time over crimbo to check out the proggress on the turbo beasty.

[Toby_Unna]

lol

local breaker has a 3.0 manifold from a 730i too dude, that's where my zaust manis came from!

i already removed it too! but then decided better to make 100% sure it's the same as the 3.5 one (it is) then just decided to fcuk it and start cutting mine up...

will get it if u want dude won't b more than a tenner.

paypal is dangerous, can buy anything and everything now mate!

sorry for the

[Andy335Touring]

That manifold would be ok for me mate, is it the same scrappy as the master cylinder ? It would be great as i could keep my car running whilst i mess about with that TB.

I've defo got to come over to your house now !

At least with paypal i can wire you some dosh for those part as soon as you want it ?

[Toby_Unna]

i gotta go asap to get some rubber charge pipes/TB gaitor thingys to finish my induction system anyway mate, so i'll get the mani and also the MC if it looks right. prob tomorrow.

come over whenever u want, not going far till new year now dude!

your TB is ace! i just got a nice large thin fan for the 335 on ebay today, brand new for Ԛ£42, which will slip between rad and IC.

[Andy335Touring]

A kenlow or pacet type fan ?

If it is it's well cheap

Are you home either Friday or Saturday ?

Do you want me to bring that dif ?

[Toby_Unna]

um Spal i think

yeah this one

http://www.jaycorptech.com/showproduct. ... tegoryid=2

it's the blow through one i got which is perfect, 13" by less than 2.5 inches thick

should be around fri and sat, can't think of any reason why i wouldn't be

and yes tha diff would be fab

and yes i'm a lazy sod and haven't sorted the gearboxes yet

sorry dude!

[Andy335Touring]

That fan looks good, 13 inch should flow enough air and it doesn't pull many amps either.

I think i could do with a bigger fan(not that it has ever over heated but for a greater safty margin) and i need to try and refit the cowling inbetween the grill and radiator to make full use of the air rather than it just going around the sides of the radiator.

No probs with the box mate, not sure which day i'll pop over yet but i'll drop you an email wed/thur.

[Toby_Unna]

cool

[Andy335Touring]

Daft question but does your digicam take SD memory cards only i've got an 128mb SD card you can have for nothing if you want it ?

I killed my old digicam by putting your new dif on top of it accidently !

Fancy a new avatar ?

[Toby_Unna]

um... yeah i think it does!

had a good go at killing mine yesterday, dropped it onto some concrete while running

seems ok though

just realised i started this thread anyway so all apologies for going O/T withdrawn

[Andy335Touring]

The card is yours then mate.

I got my new camera today but no fcuking English intructions, so i went on the suppliers web site and you can down load it as an Adobe file but it aint working and the help line was shut !!!!

[ed325i]

Hi, I am doing the golf servo conversion and I couldnt see why the rod needs to be made longer eveything is the same length as the BMW one but because other people have made a longer rod I am a bit worryed it wont work and I cant try it as I have no engine in at the moment

ED

[stevetigger]

I have also done this mod!
More on the subject on my M50 Convertible thread!

I used the small Golf Mk2 1.3 servo and the rod inside the servo is about an inch to short.The one on the right in the photo below!



The servo bolts straight into the E30, all bolts and stud pattens the same!

I was going to make up some spacer rods using theses!




But then I read that Buster did the Audi master Cylinder mod and I went straight on ebay and found this!



Paid, £7 for it!

So next week, thats going in with a full write up on my M50 Convertible Thread!

[ed325i]

Hi, The Mk2 golf cant be the same as the MK1 golf as the rod on the MK1 golf is the same length as the BMW one so I should be ok.
Steve the rod in side the car the pin hole in the golf servo is to small so I unscrewed the one off the BMW servo and put it on the golf servo to save drilling out the hole, dont know if that info is any good to you.

ED

[jmc330i]

The Mk1 GTi servo (as I used) doesnt need any mods to fit - the push rod is the correct length for the BMW master cylinder.
I couldnt unscrew the 'fork' (with the pin hole) from the golf servo but if I used the E30 fork it would of been too short anyway, so I drilled out the hole on the golf one...



The Mk2 1.3 servo is the same size as the Mk1 GTi servo but needs the spacer rod as Steve said or the Audi M/C.

There is a smaller diameter Mk1 servo from the non-Gti's and although this would give more space in the E30 engine bay, it wouldnt give enough assist in the E30 - how crap are the Mk1 golf brakes!!

[ed325i]

Thanks James I am happy now I know it will work ok

ED

[jmc330i]

No problem.

How come youre fitting the Golf servo? Engine conversion??

[stevetigger]

Ive not had to mod anything inside the car with my Golf Servo! Its just the rod inside to short, so Im going with the Audi M/C

You have the Mk2 1.3 servo, so thats right.

The Mk1 Gti servo doesnt need the spacer for the M/C and bolts up exactly like the Mk2 servo - its a direct fit. Only the pin/hole on the linkage is too small and there would be a little play in the linkage, which aint good for brakes. 2 mins with the drill and the E30 pin can be used and all is good.

[buster]

steve.
That audi master cylinder you have is the 23 mm one isnt it ?
The one i have is 25 mm ,i wanted it bigger as im putting bigger disks and calipers on.
If yours is the 23 mm one then it will be the same as the normal e30 one which will be ok as long as your keeping the standard brakes or even 325i brakes.

andy

[stevetigger]

Its 23mm from an Audi 80....Im keeping my standard brakes as they are the vented type and disc rears!
Might just need fast road pads!

[buster]

Yeah,that should be ok i think

[ed325i]

No problem.

Only another M30 3.5 conversion in a convertible.


ED

[stevetigger]

Yeah,that should be ok i think

There the same as the 325i Sport brakes.

[Andy335Touring]

Thats the first 335 cab i've heard of in this country ?

Is the conversion finished ?

I've got one of those Golf Mk2 servo's to go on mine when i get around to it

[ed325i]

Hi, No I have just started it I will get some pics soon.

ED

[gareth]

mine didn't need any faffing to get the M30 in... the manifold is untouched, the E30 servo is in and there's a 5mm gap. this never knocks.

maybe it's down to tolerances on the engine mounts... i'm using E30.de mounts, drilled for P2.5 and with new bmw E30 M20 rubbers.

[stevetigger]

I recieved mine Audi M/C today!



But it has four brake pipe inserts?? Anybody have views on this?

I think its no good for the conversion, I might be able to take it apart and mate it with the BMW one!

Very upset now, because that was one part I was waiting on to get the job finished in the engine bay.

If you mean what I think you mean, then just blank one of the rears off. An appropriate size bleed nipple shoild do. There's only two chambers in the cylinder, so they're just two drillings into each.
Can't make out your pic again (too dark). You really must get a better camera, Steve!

[Brianmoooore]

What's this thread doing in tech help anyway?
