much love for this thread and good to see you keeping at it after quite an opperation...
hope ur ear heas up good and propper this time so you can keep up the good work
Cheers bud, awsome thread you have going as well, I love the old roccos and yours looks a really good example with lots done already.
Rightyho, sent my flywheel off to be lightened by hotgolf on cgti on friday, so once thats back (end of the week hopefully) engine will be going back in.
finished up the bay
And the lump is all back together after painting up, new cam and sump gaskets, (black sump now on but not in the photos), new cambelt and tensioner, and a few new seals, nuts and bolts etc........... Hose springs look a bit naff cos I painted them red, but I will change them when I can be arsed getting some new ones. Wanted something red in the bay to tie in with the calipers and pinstrip on the body, but I think I'm gonna get a strut brace and paint that now.
gearbox also done and sat in the shed
Had to get a new crank sensor today as well, as both from old and new engine were completely fooked!
Got all oil and coolant ready to go in now as well, and ordered some paint from vw ready for the rust under the quarter window.
Gonna order fault code reader as well as I need to find out the reason for abs fault lamp being lit. MOT in November so need that sorting, rear pads, a couple of tyres, and an outer cv boot. Get the blighter running first though.
Gonna book the crane for next w.end so hopefully, by sunday evening (cant do it saturday as its the first day of the season obviously!) I will have an update for a running car again, yay!!!
