Right, not updated this in a while as I've been so busy!
Got her running after changing the starter motor, sounded ok a little smoky but the oil pressure light came on.
Then this happend ;
stripped the t-piece threads, ordered a VDO one to replace it from vw heritage.
Was shitting myself thinking everything had gone to pot as my oil pressure gauge read terrible figures. Nath managed to get a mechanical
pressure tester which had readings of 85psi when cold at 18psi warm, so that cheered me up.
So wen't to start her and drive away but I couldn't engage the clutch, assumed it was the self adjusting clutch so got a manually adjustable one.
Still couldn't engage the clutch, this was 10AM on thursday and I was due to leave for Big Bang on friday.
Decided that the only route for the problem was to take the gearbox off (90 mins later , subframe, drive shafts, exhaust engine mounts, gearbox and clutch plate) were off and I had put the friction plate on the wrong way wrong !!!
So Swapped the clutch plate round, changed the foobared release bearing too and chucked it all back together in 5 hours and after un seizing the rear brakes the G had its maiden voyage!
Only have the boost kept at 0.5 bar with the actuator for the run in period, managed 50 miles driving around before the trip down to big bang.
Also picked up this for an absolute bargin, just need to get 2 x 0.5mm injectors for it!
