Crasher

You mean the accessory belt toothed drive conversion? If it stripped the teeth off of one of those, there is a problem.

The 120x80 back box is stainless as well, beautifully made.

There isn't much to choose between the two when doing a transplant. Rumour has it that the BAM is stronger but I have seen both fail. About the only reason I can think of to choose a BAM is that it has an Exhaust Gas Temperature sender in the turbo which can be useful during set up if your ECU of choice will display the temp, that and the fact that a BAM will be younger.

Can you post the code?

Most of the bearings are VW only and suppliers seem unable to get them, even though they list them. I have just rebuilt an 020 2Y for a customer and I could get the input shaft end bearing as it is just a rear wheel bearing, the diff bearings as well as one other I can't remember. All the needle cage bearings were VW specific. One I wanted is obsolete from VW as they recommend not refitting it but INA list it and won’t supply it. Seals all tend to be specific VW unless you search out the equivalents. I am just rebuilding a 1972 Beetle semi auto box and I have had hell getting some bearings and others I have got off the shelf from bearing factors. Certainly, when tracking down bearings, Goggle is very useful.

No, quite different.

You may be able to do it but it would be easier to take the shift unit out.

Yes, just swap the inlet cam over. You could take one of the left over exhaust cams and have it modified to use as an inlet cam for even more power, a very popular conversion in the 80's and early nineties.

Zoonders, that will be either leaking injectors or a failed non return valve on the fuel pump. mmatallana, get a fault code read done, you may have a temperamental crank speed sender.

Because you are using fuel and not moving so your average MPG falls, it isn't an instantaneous readout. The figure provided by the MFA isn't based on actual fuel used; it uses distance, revs and manifold depression against a table of values.

I can find two blue/blacks, one from the ECU pin 15 to the full throttle switch and one from the fuse box at location G2/3 to the cylinder head oil pressure switch, so both pretty much in the same area. The only white/blue I can see is as flusted says, to pin 2 of the Co pot (for charge air temperature) to pin 9 of the ECU.

I have had to grind the calliper to clear these on 288's, even the 8x17 split rims gave me grief on a Golf 3 VR6 with 288’s. I had so much trouble with RH I gave up importing them, if anything goes wrong you are on your own. Make sure you check them with new pads and discs.

Free or tensioned length? :oops:

Where are these wires dangling so to speak? Blue white is standard protocol for a road speed signal and the blue black rings a bell but my G60 wiring diagram is at work.

The relay is at position three on the fuse box, upper row of relays third position from the left.

You don't, buy a new one from GSF, quite cheap.

Forgot to mention the ABF, that will fit as well

Synta Silver used to be 15w/40 but it has changed to 10w/40, still what we use in all normal servicing except for turbo diesels (Quantum TD), PD engines (Quantum PD or Longlife) or when a customer wants something a little better, Synta Gold.

Yes it is very common, fit two new pipes from VW as they are pre-formed. Feed:-021 133 990K Return:-021 133 988K Clips x 4:-N 102 922 01 although the pipes are an utterly ludicrous £35.90 each inc. VAT which I just can’t see how they justify.

Change the rear pads to genuine or Textar Golf 4 tpye with the self adhesive backing but only use the self adhesive backing on the outer pad.

It's the same as on a Golf 3 Hatch/Estate /Vento/Cabrio 92>02 or Passat (94>97), versions with the 2E, ADY or AGG engine. The new VW part number is 1H0131 089 CX and is £411.25 inc. VAT exchange.

Yes, wet ECU.

I used the box and fixings from a Lupo GTI, a fully sealed and vented VAG box.

My Mk1 with its drilled air box makes children cry and old ladies wet themselves.

Bosch fan belts and timing belts are pants as well!
