Yeah i was wondering weather it would handle the heat, but the rocker cover on my engine now got primed with non heat ressistant paint then covered over with heat ressistant paint and thats been on there nearly a year now and thats ok?

Massive update to come tonight guys  :smiley:

You should be OK with it not cracking although too much primer and paint on engine parts isn't going to aid cooling.

Well ill spray them and when there fitted i will soon find out what happens aha  :laugh:

Right so today i have been rather busy and got a fair amount done to the new golf i bought at the weekend, looks a bit like this




Yes its black 5 door 8v gti i know i got told to get a 16v but i just do not have the budget to buy a 16v and this came up so cheap it would of been rude to turn it down
So up first is the interior front seats are now in my current daily rears seats are removed but havnt got around to fitting them in my golf yet, so heres what the interior of the new golf looks like



Need to remove the whole of the dash board but im not sure how to do it does anyone know if there are some bolts or screws hidden somewhere? also how do i take a stearing wheel of with an airbag on it?

Ok so up next was getting the engine ready to come out (without an engine haust) got a fair amount done as you will see in the pictures, everything is disconected from the engine apart from two more bolts left on the manifold and the last engine mount but it got to dark to carry on but heres a few photos for you  :smiley:





I was wondering if it would be possible to remove the engine without the gearbox to make it lighter? or is it not possible? does anyone know?

Thats it until sunday so i will update again then
cheers  :smiley:

As for the steering wheel, Disconnect the battery (still connected in your photos) leave for about 15mins and there there are two bolts at the back of the steering wheel holding the air bag on, undo them and pull the airbag out, undo the wires and then undo the bolt that holds the wheel on, it a 27mm bolt I think, and also undo the three little screws around the bolt, they hod e boss to the wheel, and then pull the wheel off, being careful I case the boss is still stuck to the wheel, mine was and it broke the coiled wire for the airbag popped about and I had to buy a new one.

Hope that makes sence
