This car has been a headache since I have got it in December. Viewed it and the only thing wrong was a seized caliper. Fine, rebuilt that caliper on a Saturday. Drove it around and realized it was only revving to 5k rpm and and sometimes would stop pulling. Read the codes, crank speed sensor and cam sensor. Replaced both of those and did the timing belt as it was due. Car started up on the button and 3 seconds later immediately started to piss out oil. Fucking rear main seal housing had a crack in it. Changed that and as we was down there did the clutch, starter and all. Put it back together, wouldn't start even tho everything is perfectly aligned. Read codes again, immobiliser issue, sent it off to get repaired (water damages) got it back and fitted it and nothing. Only code now is camshaft sensor speed/range however as far as I'm aware it shouldn't stop it starting. We have strong spark, great compression, great fuel pressure. Any ideas?

Hello! I'm back here again, I have a Golf with the 1.6 AFT engine and i was wondering the correct procedure to installing a oil pressure gauge, I've tried doing some research and i ended up at just pure confusion with the different methods people used, i was going to use a VDO twin-pole but I'm not sure if i should replace the OEM sensor, which i think would be a bad idea. have any of you done this?

I haven't been enjoying working on cars so much in the past few years, mainly because it's just been out of the necessity of keeping stuff going. I never have the time to dig into a resto, so I thought I'd try a bit of a turn around on something modern. I didn't fancy doing bodywork, so I bought a bit of a mystery bag car from auction (the cars got a history, so I can't put which auction or the reg just yet). So here goes with a 3 door, 6r 1.6tdi....

Hey guys, i'm fairly new to the VW scene, (excuse me if i make any mistakes, im not a native speaker), so back to the point, I've got my AEE engine rebuilt last summer, and after 320k kms it was a breeze to drive it, but im getting used to it, so im planning to shoot for lets say a 100 hp, or something near to that, i have some plans, but yeah, you guys know way more than me so, my weak ass plans are: - porting the head, with bigger valves - a bit more agrssive camshaft - custom intake, with the 1.4 16vs throttle body (as far as i remember the 1.6 aee has a 45, and the 1.4 16v has a 55, also its the mk3's bowden operated one) - some kind of exhaust system with a bigger size, and a stainless mainfold. And basically thats that, so if you guys got any tips, i'd be glad to hear them, also if there are some better methods, im happy to hear them.
