boreing blue GTi

[danny_p]

so i get a phone call that goes roughly along the lines of,   oi theres a cheep golf GTi for sale spares or repair.

so bimbels off and buys it yesterday  picks it up and drags it back this morning  haveing not really payed all the much attention to what i was buying

officaly it had,

Flat battery
knackerd starter
broken drivers door lock

so here we have some piccys






its blue and dosent start



oh dear

first look at the motor



problems  have found donkey cock resembeling crap



won't be requireing this - yoink



unbelivable levels of suprise  when it turns out the starter is actualy dead like seller claimed 



so over cup of tea parts are summed from scowels sport.  YOINK  020 starter  thanking you

[danny_p]

ummmm  tryed starter  engine didn't spin much....   

some rummageing later found a 50mm2  lead with some eye;s allready crimped on,  upgraded time



still didn't spin much -   engine is appearing somewhat siezed right now,   anyway  plugs out and load of scaffeze tiped down the holes  that'll kill or cure



so had a look round for some more shnkeyness

and found.........  a knaked caliper


a nasty exhaust





slight sub optimal looking bias valve



and the boot won't open  so wondering if its full of dead hookers

also apart from the space saver and knackerd calper this side looks ok


however this side looks pissed  going to be needing a new stub axel me thinks



alos found some rust but nothing scary  will deal with that later

anyway the scaffeze works and motor now spun  quite enthusiasticly - spraying scaffeze everywhere ah well



put the plugs back in and still won't bloody run tho

[danny_p]

so listen for fuel pumps nothing.

so the intank pump  get evicted  it din't even get excited when voltage was applyed directly,  fortunaly had a spare lift pump so that went in.


still  main pump not intrested, so for the short term fix to get it going



we'll be putting some wire on here and connecting them to here



24 volts the wrong way up it a few times got the littel bugger pumping,  dosent sond to clever but it's making 3 bar of pressure with plenty of return flow, that'll do on a sunday.

still won't go,     

so out come the plugs and compression test .........    and another suprise   13.5 bar across the board but can't smell petrol.  so more more citrus fresh gets squired down it's throat,  it sort f runs on this  and lets out some magic smoke
then with a quite inpresssive bang removes the K&N filter from itself. 

so off comes the return line to sample the fuel ........   




ummm  actualy looks like fanta or cider piss ,  smells more like cired piss tho.   anyay i'll leave the bottel hanging around  will undoughteld be quite funny at a later date,  pumped off 5ltrs of manky fuel into a can,  so the petrol pixies are going to have to play petrol can rulet now    3 cans     2 have super unleaded in , the other may as well be full of piss.

anyways  clean the plugs up and trys again



well it runs now at least,   tho quite a lot of magic smoke is escapeing



ant enjoying the finest volkswagen magic smoke

to much suprise and disapointment the engine after a while did start to retain it's magic smoke  tho it sounds flat and like most of the newness has been extracted but at least now it;s mobile so can drive it in and out the workshop.

now to aquire another motor

someone may well still neck the "fanta"  as its still sat in the garage looking rather like fanta,   chould help in solveing the mistery of what it actualy is,   makes a crap substitue for petrol tho.

lotta work to get it roadworthy by weekend lad 

 

sadly unlikely to have it on the road by then there are a few f**ked bits that may as well progress straight to upgraded bits.    i am NOT buying any 239mm brakeing components
