Putting my Scirocco GTD up for sale, as realistically I'm not using it ...

The CV and wheel bearing were done. Front struts and springs swapped for the slightly lowered item, rear springs swapped for the lowered uprated ones, but the struts were rusty so have left the original but still functional. I only paid £40 for the set so I'm not too bothered. Complete failure on ...

Thanks both,
I've just tried emailing with the email address without the forum bit. Hopefully it will work ok.

Bringing this thread up to date.
New breather, wiring and plumbing finished while we waited for a cone filter to arrive.

Hi Team,
In getting my Scirocco back on the road I've paid my membership dues which have lapsed, but when I tried to email the generic membership account it's getting bounced. Problem at the account end?

Really building up a head of steam now (hopefully not literally though). Plumbing and wiring is mostly done and just a few little bits of fabrication to do.

There's just about enough clearance between the turbo manifold and the bulkhead for the existing downpipe, but we think it will knock and it's ...

Cheers Mark, I changed the oil in the old gearbox and it did improve the graunch somewhat, but it was still noticeable and pretty grumpy going into reverse. The new gearbox will get new oil and is reportedly better, but we'll see!

The 1.6td is in, and I'm starting to feel like this will work. After further searching I'm still not sure what the engine has come out of, could be anything from a late mk2 Golf or Jetta GTD to a t25 camper. My ...

I should really update on here more often.

Plans for this changed (as they so often do) but I still have it.

Sharan was broken for it's engine, but then I heard about a cheap 1.6td engine that had been sat in his garage for a few years. Bit of an unknown quantity, but at a price I couldn't refuse ...

Ta Sabre for the advice.
I looked into the tdi200/300 conversions, but have decided to keep it e-tdi rather than m-tdi for the time being. The mate who will be working on the conversion has done a similar one with an AHU lump (90bhp), as well as a few T4 conversions.
Current plan is to keep the ECU ...

And then around July, it died in a blaze of head gasket glory.
It ran well for a few hundred miles then started overheating again. The thermostat was replaced, but no improvement.

Sniffer test confirms the worst ...

June this year:
Initially thought it was the expansion cap playing up and not holding pressure. New one purchased. Spent a nice couple of days tinkering and succeeded in breaking it further. The carb fuelling was now sort of set up (it was idling without the need for a clothes peg on the choke ...

Fast forward to May this year, when I pulled the Scirocco out of winter storage. Bunged £20 of 98 RON in, which it promptly wazzed all over my lock up floor.
