seat ibiza dial's...info wanted

[boneybradley]

i was told by a well known vw specialist the 16v clocks work fine and read correct as long as you match the starting point up...0-160 works but the 10-160 don't!

[kells]

i dunno, wouldnt really like to try personally as its hard to calibrate them correctly...i was told otherwise but as i say i dont 100 percent know, i was just saying bear it in mind as they may not read correctly but you obvioulsy already know this

i just had my next door neighbour round, he is a techncian at VW dealer in leeds, should have asked him to see if he knew....!

but  not only have i got vital info on the lass i fancy at the dealer , he is also gonna help me drop a 20vt into my mk 3 when i get the engine, he is gonna bring all the tools from the dealer hahaha

just need to get the engine, wont be for a while tho as i have alot on but will save me $$$$$$

you will never keep the jap cars at bay my man...you will however be forever trying to keep up with them....

but i only want the 20vt so its a bit of a suprise for anyone thinking im running a standard 8v, keeping the car looking OE u see

i have my jap car for speed, which will be over 200 BHP soon in a car that weigh's less than a pack of regal hahahaha

Golfs are too heavy to beat the (serious) jap cars...my swift is a hell of alot faster than golfs with more than 100 BHP than the little fella

but i think a 20vt in a mk 3 is alot better than having a VR6 with its fuel consumption, i have had a VR before and felt its performace didnt match the price u pay to own/run it

my old man has a mk4 20vt and its as good on fuel as my mk 3 GTI


Out of interest tho Saul, how much of a job was the conversion??  did u do it or pay someone???

[saul79]

i did it all my self.i wasnt willing to pay someone to do it when i'm a vw trained mechanic, mine will keepp up with most kells, 600bhp should be enough to keep most at bay,

its the wiring whats the pain ,the engine was out and the new one in within a couple off hours ,but its well worth it once its running right
