Allos,

Just a quick wee update today!

Started on removing the engine out of the GTi! only on it for 2 hours or so, so not loads done, but enough!

284691_10150726333030261_586565260_19837

removed:

everything air con related

exhaust mani

inlet mani

fuel rail

fuel lines

charcole chamber

throttle body

PAS pump

alternator

started removing wiring from everywhere!

header tank

most hose's

ah getting there! in now rush

Also, compression tested the block and the results show a fault:

cyl1: 1psi

cyl2: 16.6psi

cyl3: 16.1psi

cyl4: 16.4psi

so i think theres some bent valves in cyl1 or piston rings... dont think its the piston since it still held 1psi

cheers,

Andy

Can i ask what the advantage of 6N2 doors is?

saved him worrying about getting the doorcards fitted etc and also all the wiring issues, he can now just transplant it all over....quite genius actually!!

New rims are gonna look dope!
