Spent 4 hours today removing this from a donor Mk4  :cool:



Gonna strip it down, re-condition it, then take the rado off the road in september ready for the transplant :afro:

Always had a soft spot for a corrado but don't know stupid amounts about them, as a result I haven't seen many 20vt ones... be nice to see this done. good luck with it all.

It's an AGU code engine Wayne.

Chuff, not wanting to go down that route with this. There will be another car purchased as a runaround which may well be the dirty fuel  :grin:
