Got the engine out of the 200, new one about to go in.
Will sand all discs and pop all calipers apart and clean them and reasemble with good fluid.
will get a new engine mount made from autoalighn.
fit a better AC compressor and get it regassed.
Hopefully I can suss out the reason why the ABS wont work as well. Would like to replace the wheel sensors but where do you get stuff like that :P I'd Love a new bomb as well.
Its gona be good to get it all up and running sweet tho, it needed this.
the clutch was getting all covered in oil but looks almost new and wasnt slipping at all, i will wash it down and get the flywheel refaced as i can see its only running on the outer edge! its a new sach clutch thats only done 5000kms or so.
My exhaust gasket was all blown open as well.
wish the photos would work.
maaybe i go join photo bucket now.
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?

BB

Nice work, wouldnt the abs sensors be the same as in the 80 and later 100?

Its not as bad as it looks Glen I am actually very careful with the goo, don't want it getting into the oil gallery now do we.

And nutter yes quite possibly they are. You got any? I will ask Simon at giltraps and see what they have and prices

trucks dont have it.....

vag_nutter

I avoid it on older cars a its one less thing to go wrong :P And airbags, damning airbag light is on now >:(


BB

Damn. I have to swap my cranks over.

An auto crank is different than a manual crank :P

  Why would they go do a dumb thing like that.

How is it different? I thought that when I used a motor from and auto, it had a bush in the end, pull that out and put in the roller bearing

BB

Yes 5-pot is saying this as well. I will have another look tomorrow.

Engine is completely separate from the box, they are designed to be separate units.

ie, the Engine is NOT made for the box.
Beating up parking wardens ain't a crime.

BB

Yes guys I am a mechanic, i was very surprised to and did look at a possible bush that would swap over.
And i think yay that there is a bush you swap over tho i think the input bearing my break up gettig pulled out.
I do have another one ....hope i can find it.
So glad I don't have to swap the cranks ;)
