    Seems to set the buzzer off at 2500 ish rpm. Oil is brad new and fine and up to level. Oil pump working well. What can this be?

    Hi guys I had a cracked block after cooking it when the serpentine belt went. After 4 rebuilds I got another engine. Rebuilt it and got it running only to be a new member to the red arrows with smoke pooring from the rear. Did new rings and shells and started it again to clouds and clouds of smoke But after a while it started to clear. I took it for a drive and it feels very retarded When I tried to time it up it had no notch on the pully wheel to denote tdc timing. How do I change the timing now it's retarded. I can't face removing the head again Please help

    EGR? What's that?
  9. Moochalargo
    Ok this engine is dead!! Case must be cracked as loosing all oil in to water and it's now bursting hoses lol I've been and got another engine which I believe is ok but this engine is slightly different!! The cam cover is aluminium not plastic like mine. Also the exhaust manifolds have a metal hose that connects them and then seems to go to somewhere??? My car does not have this!!! What is it?

    Rebuilt now. Head tested and not cracked Oil cooler bypassed. Oil still getting in to water. What can I do now? I'm out of z job at moment and this is thrashing my money! Really can't keep wasting what little money I am earning?
  11. Moochalargo
    Yeah ok thanks lads!! Going to get my bolt set and gasket later and for now bypass the cooler! I also need a part if anyone has one? The breather of the head that connects to the plastic air intake pipe has broken after being moved around so much!! Anyone got one? Cheers
  12. Moochalargo
    Had the head pressure tested cold and hot and its fine!! this makes me think that the block must have a fault somewhere or the new oil cooler i purchased may be a dud!! either way ive got to get more head bolts and another head gasket. im going to try and bypass the oil cooler to eliminate that from the question! do any of you know of a good water treatment? ive had irontight mentioned and also steel seal ive been promissed is amazing! any other ideas as i really need the car working now! its been broken for almost 4 months!!! cheers guys

    guys im having a night mare with her!!
  14. Moochalargo
    Does a vr block have a water jacket?
  15. Moochalargo
    No that's my next step. Get it crack tested!! Going to leave it for a bit as I'm just throwing money at it now and nothing is working. Could have r32'd it by now the money I've wasted!!! Can I reuse stretch bolts? I've purchased two sets now!!!???
  16. Moochalargo
    The car over night dumped loads of water in to the oil!! What is going on?? It's crazy!!! Can the crank case be shot or is the head got issues! Got this head from some git on eBay telling me it had only done 68k and had nothing wrong with it!!
  17. Moochalargo
    Skimmed the head. New gasket set. New oil cooler. COMPLETLY skint now and after ten mins of running the oil is coffee coloured and oil in water again!!! Wtf is going on? Feeling so shit I'm close to scrapping the car now!!
  18. Moochalargo
    Head is being skimmed and I'm getting all new bolts gaskets and an oil cooler. I'm sure I got the bolt sequence right and I read the torque settings were. 35. 45. 90 degrees. 90 degrees. When I removed the head again the middle row of bolts squeezed and cracked as I moved them but the inlet and outlet sides didn't feel half as tight??? Also local machanic said the head gasket didn't look as squashed as he would have expected!!??

    A few weeks ago my belt tensioner seised and shreded the belt I had to drive it a bit and cooked the engine. I ended up having to replace head and gasket ect But then after when all should have been good I got loads of cream in the header tank shed loads so I cleaned out and flushed with all kinds of stuff and ended up with clear water. After driving for another 20 to 30 miles I now have oil that looks like white coffee and oil in the water again!!!! Agggh So today I've taken the head off and even though it's supposed to be fine im getting it skimmed and another head gasket set and bolts but

What is the head bolt sequence and torque settings? Can't find the settings anywhereso do you know what I need to do!??? Cheers guys
  22. Moochalargo

    hi lads! Right today i was driving my vr and its been making a weird noise for a while! i removed the 57i a bit ago to try and listen to the noise more today the car made a squeeling belt noise then spat the belt!! i had to drive it for a bit! oil temp went to 160 by the time i could stop the car! it shat its coolant and the battery is dead!! i got towed home and the engine still runs so hoping ive not fucked it!! anyone have a rough idea how wrecked it may be or will i be lucky? how hard is a water pump to replace?? cheers lee

    Idle problems are usually caused by the maf (mass airflow metre) thats the bit after the airbox with the electrical connection on it! Dont think we have idle stabilisation valves on the vr!??
