    They sold me the 12v 6S belt
  2. Dekerf1996
    I have a VF 9 with a gruven parts 8 psi pulley and aircon. I need to check the length as i purchased 2 from VF earlier this year and they are the wrong size, they offered to sell me some more, but would not confirm the length, so i didn't bother. In the end i made some belts up myself, but would prefer a proper belt
  3. Dekerf1996
    Long, shot, but do you still have these?
  4. Dekerf1996
    Are these still for sale, and if so, whats the length of them? Are they for an aircon or non aircon car? Thanks
  5. Dekerf1996
    Thanks, i did think about going direct origianlly, but rumours of the price put me off...... Had no option no and am speaking to them, looking like £75 each plus fees, plus tax, plus shipping and then finally import taxes

    Manifold still for sale?
  7. Dekerf1996

    Another day another package
  13. Dekerf1996
    Well opened up the packages so I can put them together before sending them off for a refurb. Got a bargain on these babies, rear set up had loads of meat on the pads and disks, same with the front pads too, shame I will be bining them all. Just need to find so decent pads for the front now

    Didn't know that, makes sense. Will mention it to the engineer. Thanks for that

    Still working on it, new Pistons in the post, should be here tomorrow. Hopefully go off to engine builders after that. I had troubles finding an engine builder that didn't have a 2-3 month wait, thoughi may still go with one of those, still haven't decided
  16. Dekerf1996
    Oh and to add to the build cost, might be purchasing a new "daily" which of course will be supercharged, should make 5 of them for me once all built, hopefully over winter!!!

    Think things have got a little out of hand on this build now... It's only a cheap daily!!! Think I have finally found an engine builder who is free before Christmas, and he's local, so spending more money tomorrow on new Pistons oem 2.9 spec as vw don't do them anymore!!! Discounted wossners as they just up to my build.... Though I have just purchased some for a different build... Also more purchases in last few weeks Any guesses on what they are?? Let's just say they need refinishing, but will look great once done
  18. Dekerf1996
    More parcels arrived, think I have blown the budget now!!! Just need to find a decent engine builder now :-(
  19. Dekerf1996
    Well finally got some more time on the car today :-) So engine was only loosely in the car, so wipped it out leaving a hole But that was the easy part!!! Time to break it down and see the damage Let's remove all the ancillaries, found loads of damaged bolts, poor paint over things and bolts. Previous owner who removed the engine had really messed things up. Head, not too bad, slight heat problems on 4 cylinders but not that bad Block, doesn't look too bad, actually minimal wear Closer inspection No lip but plenty of bore wash, as suspected. Spark plug did confirm too. So new piston r

    I believe all you need is the pistons and rings. Not too sure on cost but will know more next week. Good thing is you will have a fresh block and fresh piston rings over an old and possibly tired 2.9 bottom end, which you might not find out how bad till it's rebuilt, or will need a hone and oversized piston rings, which will be around the same price as the overbore

    Well more progress this week on the car. Engine is ready to come out now, just need to remove the hydraulic clutch cable now and the engine is ready to dismantle on the stand, should see how bad it is then. Been pricing up wossners for it but they are a little out of this daily budget build, think if the pistons are dead, will get it bored to 2.9 using corrado pistons and see how it goes. On removing the exhaust found this interesting cat? Exhaust was leaking just after this on the poor join, another bodged bit of work by the previous owner Hopefully next week engine out
  22. Dekerf1996
    Thanks, still had problems so took the whole loom off the engine :-) seemed much easier as everything has to come off anyway. Will have another go at it when i have more time
  23. Dekerf1996
    Right I am in the process of removing my engine for a rebuild and most things are coming apart, however I can't get the main engine wiring loom apart, it's the large round connector that sits on the top right hand side of the engine, by the coilpack. Other connectors like this have just twisted apart, is this different or is there a knack to it? Thanks
  24. Dekerf1996
    I thought the cc was lower down in the corner behind the bumper? I have this unplugged too so be interested to see what its for!!!
  25. Dekerf1996
