How much are secon hand engines as if yours got bent rod and you been driving it may be well buggerd and cost more than a good secon hand lump or a new exchange engine

None tapping 6 engine is roughly £300 depending on millage

I've got my cone filter bolted straight onto the Throttle body, no water getting to mine...

Hmm sounds good that was going to see if I could re route it up by the abs pump or by the battery box

New avo springs turned up today 5" 400lbs hopefully a hell of a lot smoother drive to the 875lbs

Well the cars on its way to get its new engine fitted before anyone says it I haven't got the time and place to do it myself, work won't let me as I'll be holding up a ramp for awhile so it's getting done some were else for now

We've already been over this Sam, i think lol!

Saying that I think so to

Thought it was on its way last thursday??

So did I but colin didn't pick it up till last night

well a mfew pictures ive had for a while but no working computer until now the tape covering the show plate due to a traffic officer getting abit arsy about having to plates on the front of my car, his words were "unless you cover it up now I have to give you a fine" so out came the hazard tape I borrowed from work




las picture of its current broken engine

on the ramp the same day of the flooding incident same time I found out I had no compression on cylinder 4 and the monumental tapping

and on colins trailor of to pug performance



bit of an update on the engine the new one has all the new parts on it just waiting to here when its going to be in the pug hopefully back on my drive mid this week so fingers crossed it is!

I picked up the gti today steady drive home but it's running as sweet as a nut, finally have a gti that's not tapping!!!!!!!!! new tyres tomorrow as the rears are getting bold and fitting the new coilover springs

Bout time! haha

yay! Good to hear this is back.

Glad to see it lives again

Got anymore plans for it?

Always liked Astor grey
This looks awesome

Love this, how much does a decent engine go for these days? Low miler's must be few and far between? Not sure about the tape though!!

Cheers guys few plans might sound odd but planning for next year's fcs for it to be epic, this year will just be lower and a good clean but next year I would like it on air, 8j and 9.5j shmidtz 3 pease modern lines with white centres and polished lip and a few other touches, the tap is just to cover the show plate as I found out by a traffic officer that you can't have 2 plates :/ the engine cost me 350 dude

think the weirdest feeling is having the window stopped at traffic lights and not hearing "tap tap tap tap tap tap" really odd but good

Well fitted the new springs at work today and got to say the ride is so much smoother but with the odd bounce need to adjust the ride hight a bit more as it bottoms out on big bumps but rasing the coilover 4 mm has lowered it another 10 mm which is what I wanted also fitted some falken 914's as the old 912's were very very very broken inside the tyre!

Bet your just glad to have it back!

Mate I haven't stop smiling since last night, I got up epically early just to go the long way to work and drove round for about an hour or so before i went home and refused how much fuel i used was well worth it!

Stop being so happy with your 6. Makes me feel inferior with my 1.something.

Back to the bwaaps!!

it's epic yep back to bwapps, number 1 on the list to do tomorrow is sort the coilovers bottoming out and move the mofo of the art filter away from the bottom of the bumper, as I don't want to work for the council again they can clear there own roads next time!

Great news sam..

875 springs??? Wow must have been punishing, 400s must be like cushions in comparison!

Cheers dude so glad to have it back

Yeah mate they were insane, no suspension what so ever. The 400 are a lot better still a bit bounce but smooth

Out terrorising Wiltshire again then Sam?

Glad to hear you got it sorted. And interested to see it go down the Air route. I've seen it on a Volkswagen Golf and was pretty insane how low it goes, gives the irish spec a run for their money.

Well avoiding puddles and letting the engine wake up for a few miles or so but apart from that yeah haha yeah but won't be after pugfest though

Sorted the suspension out, raised them up but somehow made the car lower which is fine with me, but the old man said I have to park the car on the road now as the drive has taken a battering in other news I might be selling the comps in the next few months to make way for some new wheels also need to order a bmc filter and a 90 degree silicone pipe to move it up by the battery pictures soon once I've taken some and a very good clean is in order
