Thanks, thats the one.

Is there such thing as an intermediate shaft bearing? The guy at VW reckoned he couldn't find one one ETKA. Anyone have a part no? I got all my other bearings just need this one then i can start rebuilding 8)

OK maybe I will just bite the bullet and go to VW as this is a turbo block i'm building 8)

I am currently doing a rebuild of a 1.8 KR 16v engine to go back into my Corrado. I want to replace the main, big eng bearings and the intermediate shaft bearings. I can't seem to find the parts on GSF under the Corrado car type. I was wondering does anybody know where I can get these parts from? As I think the stealers is going to be quite pricey for what it is. If anyone has part numbers from where they got them from that would be helpful to.

I'm rebuilind a 16v block and I want some uprated valve springs. Where is the best place to get them. Preferably in the UK.

Oh rite, it just looked a bit weird thats all. Thanks for the very quick response :)

Could anybody please tell me what tool is required to undo the bolt circled in the attached file.

I think this is possibly the diagram your require for the dizzy.

Had a go at removing the head tonight but i couldn't even get the heat shield and exhaust manifold to down pipe bolts undone. Bloody annoying!

Right i'll pull the head off tomorrow night and have a look and see. I'll keep you posted.

My 2.0l 16v has been making a quiet rattle for a while and I am currently building up a new engine to go in. The other day I was driving home from work and all of a sudden i lost all my power and the engine started smoking when i tried to accelerate and started making a horribly loud tapping noise. I manage to get my car home. I thought maybe that my cambelt had slipped or something like that. So i took all the gubbins off the top and aligned the engine to TDC and that cams are fine. I took advice on my engine rattle and was told that it is probably main bearings (hence the engine rebuild). Although now i'm suspecting otherwise. I am thinking it possibly be a piston ring due to the loss of power. Any other ideas? oh yeah by the way no.1 spark plug looked like it was oily. I don't think it would be a head gasket failure either because that wouldn't explain the noise. I don't know whether this is going to be easily fixable or I should get another daily driver while i fix this up properly. Any help/advice is kindly appreciated.

Good idea i'll give it a go at the weekend.

Yeah i would love to do that but the engine in question is on a pallet in my garage. Can't believe how tight that bolt is though.

Wow, that bolt is difficult to undo. Its not a reverse threaded bolt is it? Just want to check. I'm struggling to undo it and i'm already using a flipping huge breaker bar. Maybe i just need to put a bit more weight and muscle into it?

Can anyone confirm whether the RHD and LHD 16v downpipes are different? If not, are they the same as the Golf ones? I need to know this because I would like to order a MK2-mk3 turbo downpipe from Bahn Brenner. Cheers in advance.
