Gutted, should have posted this earlier eh?? Any chance you could bung one my way man??

The needle didnt go right off the top of the scale did it??

...and words are cheap! He actually quite spot on tho, conversions arent too tricky as long as you plan it out and use you head. Im also assuming you will have some engineering savvy (should go without saying, shouldnt buy a rad unless you know how to weild a spanner :lol: )

Any able to give me the part no of the starter motor bolts, bottom one anyway, my car like to spit them out :lol:

It would be ideal man, the twin pumps that the 16v use run a higher pressure than the single one that the G60 uses, over engineered, i converted my rad to G60 2 chrimbo's ago, now ive got a decent job and shizz im goin 20vt like, way forward i rekon

Post 90 spec golfs come with digi 1 dont they??

You might wanna think about gettin a new sump on there too man, looks like your one has seen better days

Aye, haha, found them on google but cheers anyway matey :afro:

Who were that company that were offering loom and ecu kits for fitting the 20VT into digi powered VW's. They did a spread on it in one of the vw mags Links, e-mails are appreciated

When mine was a 16v it did this exactly, looked identical, i changed all the gaskets and shit around there and when i fired the car up again it was still spewing oil out, it turned out that it was coming of that sensor, aye that one there, the white one, wied i know but hey, new sensor off the dealer, 7 notes, sorted. Check it out, clean all the crap off and stare at the sensor while someone fires up the car, if its the sensor some oil will blob out of the sensor

Aye go with SNS man, ive never driven a standard G60 but mine was SNS'ed when i did the swap and she goes really well like :)

I think thats what you get for owning a nova :lol:

Find your oil filter, big (should be) black thing, a wee bit bigger than a tin of coke, around front engine mount area and the thing its attached to is your oil cooler

Right, im doin this from memory and while im at work so heres hopin im not missin anything out. Take off the steering wheel, to do this prise off the horn cover and then undo the massive nut behind it, i think its a 30mm or 26mm, pretty big. Once the wheels off you can take off the column shrounds, 2 phillips head screws on each side, quite recessed and very fiddly but persevere. You should now pretty much be able to see what your doin now, head on there are 3 long screws that hold the indicators on, undo them and unplug them, 4 big multi plugs if i mind right, once all thats apart the stalks will slide off. Replace the guff one with the one you bought and re fitting is the reverse of removal ('mon mannie haynes :)) Go for it man, its not hard at all, just keep your head together and think about it

Im not sure myself, it hasnt appeared to do me any monster favours, i might have a look inside it and see if its got a thermostat, it could be on the bum like

Its right beside the radiator so it gets at least a small portion of incomming air

Aye i removed all the old gubbins, joined the water pipes up with the mk1 hoses, all done properly, i recently drove 100 mile trip and by th etime i came into the city and stopped in traffic the oil temps were rollin about the 120-130 range, now thats high, its about 100 when im shiftin on but when i stop it starts to get pretty warm and in turn the water temp goes up too but i know they are linked, doesnt sound right does it??

I have one fitted too, it hasnt made much difference to the temps really, maybe about 2 or 3 degrees, ye rekon the thermostat is goosed?

S14a 200sx touring, black, decked with a reasonable back bumper and some wide wheels, the real lure is the RWD, sideways all the way

Ive had one for a while now, all i did was purchase the gaiter and surround, then i had an old grey standard gearshift surround (easy to get cos everyone is goin black) sat in the car for a bit tryin to find the right spot for it, drilled a few holes once it was lined up right then covered it in vinyl, job done!!

Send me a pm with details dave my good man, 2nd handle in 6 months to disintegrate

Surely it would be the ali you would have to heat?? Making it expand and thus the bearing falling out???

What a bra?? :)

No worries daz, noise is a testament to yourself, its all G-werks equipment in my motor kids

Listen right at the end man, the music dulls, screen goes black and then i do a wee drive by, dumping large amounts:)
