Dave its three holes actually, if they are rare that means that my bus is now worth more, ha, so last night I got the head off, I was worried that there could be damage to the valves or seats, once off there was a couple of valves that were sitting a touch higher and once the light was on them I could see the aluminium shining out from under one of the valves, there were lots of little bits of aluminium on the pistons but no marks anywhere,

So I don't own or know anyone down here with a valve spring compressor so today I done a google to see what they look like and then made one out of leftover bits I had in the shed, worked a treat and the valves are now out and cleaned up along with the seats and they all look good, so hopefully tomorrow night I will put them back in and then fill the inlet with some fuel and see how they go, pretty happy that there is no real damage inside, cheers Greg

That’s the top dead centre sensor for the VW diagnostics. They’re nearly all cut off these days.

Thanks Chris, do they read off the flywheel somehow, cheers Greg
