Re: Vossies slightly modified mk2

In the past months the Turbo diesel ate itself. Burning 1,5 liter oil every 100 miles, so the engine
needed to be changed. Luckely I had another engine lying around.

With this result:

Re: Vossies slightly modified mk2

Bigger brakes were fitted, scirocco front 16v brakes and golf IV brakes at the back
Pain in the *** to bleed the system because the calipers ar up-side down, but once
all the air is out it brakes like a dream.

Re: Vossies slightly modified mk2

I started working on the exhaust, i used a golf mk2 16v rear damper and
a scirocco 16v middle damper. They have a nice diameter so the turbo
can breathe easily.

Both parts needed modification to fit the old type mounting points

First lining it all up
