CONFUSED!! 1.8t AGU
« on: 14 July 2013, 00:21 »
Right as some peeps may know that i was after a 1.8t AGU full car. After a few weeks i found one and got a mate who is registered to that website to bid on it. Bidding started at 11 told my mate max i have is 500 atm. Won it for 440 and with fees it cost me 515. I wanted to strip it and keep the engine and what not for my mk3 anni. The car has recaro heated leathers climate control and sunroof :laugh:
Well car arrived and im HAPPY :grin:
F all damage apart from the fool who repaired it without trying to push the dent out and decided to fill the fecker with more filler thats in my mates body shop lol. A good 5-9mm of filler was put in the car. Spray was good but was a shade off. Its a silver but with a blue tinge to it. Threw in £7 Vpowaaaaah as it was VERY low on pety. And im having a problem when i rev it to 3k rpm it hunts and will only settle when i tap the gas pedal. Its will hunt under its idle. Drivers seat heats up but passangers wont. Engine is VERY sweeeeeet nice and quiet only hear the injectors and the charcoal filter.

Anyway pics:

My bredwin filling her up with v juice  :cool:


The recaros:





Ma cazan checking out the damage (just needs a screw to hold the bumper back into place but might just buy a used bumper from classifieds):



Righty then i decided to give it a good look over. Checked the oil and its BLACK (got some quantum 10-40 at home that i got from tps for cheaps. Anyway took coil packs out and tried to take the sparkies out but coldnt as i was using an ordinary socket (i know wrong tool, its what i had on hand) when i took the socket out it was covered in oil :huh: anyway my cazan got a proper spark tool out and i took the sparkies out. Looked like they were proper old, covered in soot and they are the ngk R sparkies with single electrode not double or triple. So took everything apart. Took the rocker off, cams, chain & tentioner all look good. Might service it tomoz if i have time.
Turbo is WAAAAY down. How do you guys change it?

Will be painting the rocker cover and what not.
Sorry not picies as hands were covered in oil and grease.
Oh btw im keeping the car and putting in back on the road :evil:
Its too good to break.
Sorry if i gave hopes to people.
The mk3 anni will be going into storage and will be maintaned. The body on the anni isnt in very good condition so will sort all that out.

Anyway i am after some performance parts.
Its all standard.
Will be throwing in hybrid blades and aiming for under 300 horses as dont want rods flying about then will upgrade the rods.
Im after:
3" straight through, will this work good with the k03 till i upgrade? got a 2.5" on way
S2000 cone filter with heat shield got, just need heat shield
K03s hybrid turbo
Fmic
007 diverter got it
Forge tip fitted
N75 delete?
Charcoal canister delete?
Leather arm rest
Anything else that im missing?

Please pm me with any parts that you have that i have mentioned.

More pics to come and empty pockets lols

Ya brav. Its a zorst brrrr. Loud and im wearing my burberry clothes eni. Ima bad man deekhead. Lols only messing
Exhaust scott-r.
Anway. Decided to take the inlet off and the fuel rail.
As i have taken the rail off will i need to bleed the injectors??? :huh:
Also took the throttle off, what a mess!!!
Just using engine cleaner on the parts watching the oil and grease melt away.
Will upload pics later on as battery on phone id diying.
Also noticed the lower breather hose is split, the dipstick guide is mashup (broken scott-r) lol
Need new rubber pipes for the fuel rail and the inlet 2 small cotton braided hoses.
More to come.
Will be spraying the inlet and rocker.
What do you guys use on the engine to clear up the grease and oil stains??? Im scared as there are toooo many sensors on it.

Right then. No luck with the degreasing as it was soo bad. Will try with another product. On the plus side, got some bits, rocker gaskets, inlet gaskets & oil filter and fuel filter. And a s2k green filter lol :evil:
