HI im new to the forum so here goes.
Ive just got a GTi 16 V '96 106K miles and though its a rocket there is a worrying oil leak from the crank seal on the gearbox side. :cry: Is it a big job, engine out? or am i ok, im a fairly competent tractor mechanic!!! different technology i no but the principles are the same.
Any advice gratefully recieved.

Hi & welcome, im relatively new here also, got an 8v GTI mkIII & a 16v GTI mkII... Ive got a similar mileage on my mkIII,
is this your 1st DUB?.......
With regard to your problem mate i wouldnt have a scooby, but just wanted to say welcome :laugh:
-
Sure it's a crank seal and not just a sump gasket?
Good investment by the way ;)
-
Yep shes a seal 290 quid inc a clutch and VAT. This is only my 2nd car (im only 18) my mates are a touche miffed as they only have 106's and saxo's :sick: :grin: and for 900 sheets i thought it wernt a bad buy :smiley: that said it wanted to be cheap with the work its having. (CBA doing it meself)

They'll be even more confused when you fly past them when you press the loud pedal ;)

unless they got 106 gti's. Then it might be a competition ;)
-
Naah they got 106 and saxo's in1litres, mini RS cooper, fiat bravo1.4 so they eat me dust. But have found understeer is quite bad in the wet :sad: in the dry its a weapon. :laugh:
-
if the mini you mean is a new cooper S then thats seriously quick... 0-60 about 6.7 secs!
-
No its old and a touch pooey :grin: that sed its a mini :rolleyes:
Another question, what wheels look good on these motors i was thinking momo corse but never seen em on a golf before. :huh:
-
have a hunt through the mk3 pics mate and find a set that looks good
-
Cheers.
The wheels have to wait any way theres still a few oil leaks, rocker cover and oil pressure switch plus a service to do, just sold me old astra so that ll pay to get her up to scratch :cry:
Then the road bike goes and the trials bike is under threat, this thing is getting to be a challening mistress :smiley:
-
lol, but at the end of it you still own a golf GTi valver :D
-
Thats the saving grace as such :grin: :laugh:
-
borbet A's if you can afford it (getting rare in the 5stud flavour, as they are discontinued)
or a nice set of mirror polished porsche shoes 1111!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
To be honest i aint keen on the Borbet's but like the idea of porker wheels
