Rebuilding A Ph1 Sigma 6 - ezb - 27-02-2015

So listed my S1 106 rallye the other week, sold it less than a week later and bought Carl's ph1 6.

had to steal his pictures as I've been unable to drive it since! water began spurting out from the thermostat house/top rad hose on the way home..which you apparently can't get anymore, up on the ramp looks like it needs abit of work doing also  Dodgy

Looks lovely mate

Shit luck mate,sounds like a HG problem if waters comming out the rad.


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - MisterGTR - 28-02-2015

Great looking car. Hope you're back on the road soon.


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ozonehostile - 28-02-2015

What other work does it need dude?


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 02-03-2015

waters not coming out the rad, it's coming from the thermostat housing.

needs wheel bearings, brakes all round, bottom arms, strut top bearings, drop links, rear beam bushings... think thats about it


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 03-03-2015

Did abit of wheel swapping, was planning on binning the 17's but they really are "superlight" weigh less than the 16" speedlines...so stuck them on the old girl for now.

RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - powerandtorque - 03-03-2015

What on earth is that hole on the wing of the red one all about? To feed an air filter, assuming it's a TD?


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - 7057sam - 03-03-2015

The 17's really suit the DT and never seen a hole there before lol

RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 04-03-2015

Doesn't the thread title give it away. Wink


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - Toms306 - 04-03-2015

I didn't even understand the title, think I'm getting old... lol

I still cant see what that hole is though?


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 05-03-2015

so turns out head gasket did go on the gentle drive on the way home.....probably already on its way out.. glad I sold my rallye and bought this hunk of shit


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 09-03-2015

heads being sent off today...hoping to finally get to drive it this week!


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - 7057sam - 09-03-2015

Good you found the problem mate

Who you senting it off too,a decent second hand head would be £100 or so.


Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - Jtrigga - 12-03-2015

This is where she ended up so sad to see it in such a bad way glad it's being saved though if you need to know anything drop me a message.


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 13-03-2015

saved might be the wrong word... it's one step away from a match at the moment haha


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 22-03-2015

So..someones been abit of a bodge king, few things been sorted over the passed week
[Image: 1426947071610_zpss5fvxhoy.jpg]
Instead of welding the smashed engine mount, someone had jammed a funny not onto their nescafe coffee sieve

looks like is had a thermostat from a 900cc fiat, the house, the water pump and pretty much everything seemed to be 95% clogged up with rust

Whoever previously rebuilt the head has managed round of pretty much everything in sight

when fitting the horrid steering wheel, for some reason they left bare wires for the airbag flapping around

expecting to find more..noticed theres an interference in the radio when you change the fan settings..so probably a fire waiting to happen behind there


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ConorTRG - 22-03-2015

Hateful when someone working on a car first corners nuts etc, but what it the hole in the wing of the red one?


Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - Jtrigga - 23-03-2015

I must own up to the sieve that was me. The head was done before I owned it. Is it all running again now?


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - Paul_13 - 23-03-2015

Just tell us what the god damn hole in the wing was for! Big Grin

It was an air filter, pipercross by the look of it.


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - Nath140889 - 24-03-2015

Hole in the wing is indeed for an airfilter , remember the red dt project from back on club306


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 24-03-2015

its running, just needs the piles of rust flushing out. and now a new drive shaft as it decided to fall apart


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 26-03-2015

So MOT was due yesterday..Didn't make it... was sat running for a while to make sure everything was OK, then a strange metal on metal noise could be heard...after alot of searching this was found hitting the fly wheel..

Thanks again previous owners.....cars a reminder to avoid forum cars


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - bashbarnard - 26-03-2015

Holy shit! They left the locking tool in. Lol


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 26-03-2015

from a diesel.....


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - ezb - 31-03-2015

Anyone an idea with top end knocking/tapping?... heads been rebuilt..now decides to tap, anyway to find out what could be the cause without removing the head again?!


RE: Hashtag YOLO ph1 sigma GTI-6 - Ruan - 31-03-2015

Valve guides installed incorrectly, reused bent valves or they've contacted the pistons again.
