J5KE F 0 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Ok. so friday afternoon, the tonymeister and I set to work..We had a small amount of messing about to get ready namely:The van now has the mk2 g60 brakes, drive shafts, hubs and shocksThe engine has had new oil, filters and plugs..Tony Likes lickin dirty hose.. Ok late on sat we got hindered due to myself disposing of the 'unwanted' old caddy loom prematurely leaving the key chip reader plug somewhere else.. this caused a few issues, but after a trip to the scrappy today I managed to find another..I have also managed to load up vag com on the laptop and with the help of Tony and Andy @ storm so fingers crossed and a prayer tomorrow morning she will start! Thanks Tony boy! Link to post Share on other sites

J5KE F 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks Monk Frankenstein is ALIVE!!Well here's the update..Thanks to Mat @ C2 workin late last nite, we have a custom c2 map and immob detfeated ecu.She starts, she runs but he sounds awsome from the rear however a tad noisy at the front..item1. The mk2 6 branch from the 24v I bodged onto the 12v is blowing.. so that has to come off and the standard vr on ehas to back on.. that is unless any has a 6 branch going cheap???2. There is a major coolant leak from the crack pipe (i think its here as the oil filter housing is now a water feature..3. the oil pressure light is on. - possible sensor failure..4. there is a rattling from the rhs of the engine, possible gearbox or loose connection, but cant hear it too well as the exhaust is a bit blowy!5. gears are sloppier than my ex.. (not a bad thing )6. Need to put the rado clocks in as the caddy 1's are totally all over the place! (as expected!!)generally its in need of a tighten up and check over.. Fingers crossed i'll get this done for the xmas meet! Link to post Share on other sites
