Hi everyone, I have found a GT camshaft come up for sale with the code AF. I was wondering what the difficulty would be to install this into my 1993 1.3 SPI polo. Would this be a relatively simple weekend job for an average mechanic or not? Thanks everyone.

Hi guys. Just joined the club, thanks for having me. I have a 1985 polo coupe S. mech head. I’ve just replaced the valves, water pump n belt. (it snapped) 🙄 couldn’t get the 110mm valves anywhere. Ended up buying a scrap HK head from Greece for 40euros n 70euros to post it. Then it got held up at customs for a month. Was gutted. anyhoo. It’s all built up but the oil spray bar has snapped off the plastic locators at either end (a common fault I believe). It sits just above the camshaft and just underneath the cam cover. It’s just become brittle a broken away. Any ideas where I can get one? Had a hunt online but no joy, I’ve not rang the dealers yet as it’s after hours now, but I don’t hold much faith that they will still do this part. any advise much appreciated. Thanks Deano.

Best way to install seal when camshaft is already uninstalled ?
cedreex posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
Hi everyone, I'm restoring my engine which is completely disassembled right now (1.3 MH 55hp carb). New parts should arrive in few weeks but I'm thinking in advance on how I'm gonna fit all these stuff together. My camshaft is already uninstalled and separated from the head. Whats is the best or easy way to install the seal when I'm gonna assemble the head ? - The usual way : With camshaft installed then push the seal in its place - Or another way : Without camshaft installed, put the seal in the camshaft outside of the head then install the camshaft and thight the caps Below is a pict from partsouq (link at the end). The seal is part "2" in picture and I've added and arrow where I may put the seal without the camshaft installed then lock the bracket etc... (let me know if I'm not clear. Not sure "bracket" is the right word to use there). Obviously, placing the seal before the camshaft is probably easier than pushing it when working with the head and block installed in the engine bay. But not sure if that way may crush or damage the seal Link (Partsouq) : Cylinder Head -
Found a part next camshaft but don't know its purpose
cedreex posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
Hi there, I'm restoring my engine (1.3 MH) and found a part in the engine head next the camshaft (next the dizzy side). I looks like a piece of cylindric metal which moves quite freely and can be removed. I couldn't find it on any VW parts catalog or schema. I wanted to know its purpose. Here are some photos where you can see it (red arrows). The piece of metal is originally fitted like this Originally it barely touches the camshaft (but I've moved it a bit in this photo) As I already said It can move freely and can be removed
