Sounds like a true story and the tone is not that of some kinda of messer. Shame.

He said he'll pass my details onto the guy that is coming to collect them. Very much doubt anything will come of it though :sad:

Today i found this:






It's the wiring and connector for the idle switch on the throttle body. Pretty knackered!

Throttle switch connector now repaired. I haven't done it with the original connector, but I've crimped on some connectors that will do the job until i get an original connector to put back on.



The idle has stayed the same, but sometimes there is a bit of a dip in revs when coming off the throttle, so a proper timing and idle/CO set-up is in order asap. The switch definitely works though, hold throttle open at around 2k rpm and press the throttle switch and the revs drop back down.  :smiley:

Well, it all went a bit wrong the other day, the result of which was more oil on the a34 than in the engine.

Fault finding consisted of stripping down the top end and as a result i've narrowed it down to either a crank seal or (the one that i'm taking a gamble on being the cause) the cam seal. However, I have found a mystery inlet cam that is stamped "933" where the VW stamp of "027" normally is. I've measured it and it seems to have a lift of 8.9mm compared to the KR inlet's 9.6mm, so I'll be rebuilding it all tomorrow with a set of KR cams :smiley:

I expect so. Cgti guide has the 9a down as having 8.8mm lift. I'm measuring 8.94 pretty consistently, but either way, its not what it should be!

It would be good if it did, although I can't see how it will :sad:
