Right, a few pics, not many as theirs loads on the guys phone who owns the caddy which ill get when i get chance.. I am extremely busy at the mo with my music, DJ work and Cars.. and currently in process of sorting the AUQ engine for my Dads 2.slow
Got Sump of the AGU, did the pick up pipe.. was most blocked iv ever seen, lost the picture but trust me it was as bad as it gets... I'm surprised the old K03 the engine had didn't go poooop!!
Advise anyone with 1.8t 20vt to do the pick up pipe, we do this as standard procedure
sump was full of sh!te too
cleaned it all out
worked on the wiring, everything is plumbed in engine side, apart form 1 plug thats old square style on the loom i have, and the Alternator is new oval style, so just need to source a new style connector and swap out the plug
inside i have got all the wiring done apart form a few wires which ill do next week, got dash back in and once iv finish the last few wires ill tidy it all up and fit the remaining trim parts of the dash (this is a replacement GTI dash we sourced)
I am using MK2 GTI 16v 160MPH clocks so we had to modify the looms to make these work..they are twin plug where as the Caddy was single
Refurbished the G60 brakes, used genuine repair parts from VW (Not cheap)
Ben has been tussling with the GTI driveshafts, having a mare with broken split pis and other annoying expected crap on the caddy (he was also nursing a huge hangover from hell which did not help matters)
More pics on this later, but here is one of the GTI Driveshafts we sourced (genuine VW item)
Decided to keep the coolant bottle as a MK1 GTI item so i sourced a brand new one with cap
Need to do same with he window wash bottle
Engine is now home for good.. once the final bits have been completed (next week), i will wave my magic cleaning wand over it all one final time before the keys are handed over to the owner for good
Here is how she looks at present
