Advice on breaking.
« on: 03 July 2011, 21:38 »
Hi all,i'm soon to be breaking a mk3 2l 8v and i'm wondering if there are any particular problem areas i should look out for.

Iv'e broken a few cars over the years but never a Golf.My biggest experience is with the mk2 Granada Mk3,Mk4 and Mk5 Cortina's and with those i would gut the interior,remove everthing from the engine bay that i could and then have the shell lifted off by the scrappy and basically be left with all the running gear on the floor which i would then break down.

If you look at this item on Ebay i am hoping to do it the same way :-

With the fords there were always one or two bolts that were a pig to get out and that could rust in place.So i'm wondering if there are any difficult ones' on the Golf ?.

Any advice on potential problems would be much appreciated.Thanks.
