I bought a Bosch 48-700B from Pep Boys. The guy that helped me knew a lot about batteries and looked up the right one in the computer without any problem.
Bosch 72174 = BIG
Thx for the help...it turned out that it was the ignition switch that was causing all the problems.
As far as glow plugs, I would consider the following to be the better ones on the market: Bosch Beru Monark NGK
The mk4 aluminum oil pan has a better oil distribution baffling blah stuff. the steel ones dont. However, comma, if you are low and scrape a lot then I wouldnt recommend the aluminum ones. Steel is a lot sturdier. Just get whatevers available imo.
When I did my MKIII flush I ran 9 gallons of distilled water through the system first to ensure there wasn't any mixing of coolants. I was also using a professional radiator flushing machine. I then used Prestone Extended Life Coolant. I never had a cooling related issue in the 5 years I owned that car.
Just put 'em on this weekend. ASA AR2 18x8 wheels from the Tire Rack. Tires are Kumho SPT. They look great in person, especially for the money.
i finally got it. so we were checking wires and stuff and everything was checking out ok and then with the car running we would check the alt. and still no voltage putting out. i was baffeled. so then i thought ill switch voltage regulators because what i did when the new alt. came in was that i changed the voltage regulator to a new one bought previously and had put that one in and installed the alt. so i changed voltage regulators and put the one that came with the new alt. and low and behold there was the problem. i turned the ignition on. the battery light came on in the instement cluster, started the car and boom there it was, the alt. was putting out 14 volts and we were good to go.
the current batch of ICONs suck I guess... I had put a set of ICONs on my MKIII and they worked wonders, all my friends have them on all their cars and they all work great.
depo are crap, and if you care to disagree have a look at the pics below my mate bought some depo front fog lights for his mk2 golf, and before anyone says.......... no he didn't put in higher wattage lamps, their the original lamps which where supplied with the fog lamp. The whole light fitting melted and destroyed the bulb holder
