After i got mine i noticed oil on the cap, but after driving it 40 miles it was not there. Just needed a long drive. Like others have said already. Gutted on the wheels too mate. Hope they can be fixed on the cheap for you. Need a bit of good news coming your way

Im back. And ive got bad news on the ol girl. Took it too be MOTed the other day just too see how much work ive got to do on her. Lets say the list is long. Some bits are easy too do like new lights and tyres. Other bits are hard like fixing the holes in the floor and the sills. Other bits are stupid like the previous owner had cut the front springs to lower it. So ive now got to spend more fixing it than i intended. In other news, found out why the battery kept dying on me, and had too remove the whole front end to sort it now. I also saw you guys at GTI festival. whoever owns the b

Certainly coming along nicely man. Know what you mean about the bodging thing. Mine is the first car ive owned where most of the fixes are bodges...Im getting more worried everytime i work on it. However, congratulations on not giving up Keep it up. Ohhh...and the doors look immaculate! Good find man!

Right... Been a while but im still here! The vr has now got a fully rebuilt front end, and the oil leak appears to have been fixed happy days. Booked in it for its MOT on monday...Will see how badly she fails. With a bit of luck wont be too bad... haha.

Thanks man. You are a great help as always. Appriciated as always as well. That is one new sump/sump gasket and and sump plug ordered. hoping i'tll be here by the weekend.
-
Right, with ordering myself a new sump. Are there two different ones for OBD1 and OBD2? Or are they the same? Would even a mk3 GTI one fit? Thanks in advance.
-
Wow...You have bought yourself a challenging project. That exhaust though...no words can describe it. haha All the best to you for this...Reckon though after some nice TLC that paint will come up a treat! look forward to seeing what you do to this

Successful few days for me now things looking are looking up. Managed to get my self the correct gasket for the rocker finally, so fitted that and refitted all the manifold and throttle body and air filter all back in now. Managed to get the sump off reasonably easily, after two stubbon rounded off bolts it came strait off. Will be ordering a new one tomorrow after double and triple checking its the right one... Once its back on ill be booking it in for a MOT, fixing any fails and it'll back on the road. After that, new wheels, bigger brakes, and stripage of the interior. Pics now. And

Well, it said on the site it fitted my age car, sent them an E-mail informing them of this situation, and that unfortunately i had fitted and tried to use the glue on it with no success, and got my money back Happy days. So went and bought the new one witch will hopefully be fitted tomorrow. Thanks for the help though mate
-
Yer the new one hasn't. And yes i am. Guessing by that i have been sent the wrong?
-
So not tight at all? Its got no groove along the top either like my old one did, so thinking about maybe using the gasket glue stuff? to hold it in place. Thanks for your help. Appreciated as always.

Started with the whole fixing over of stuff now. Changed the sparks and ht leads so far ( which was a PITA to do). One of the ht leads disintegrated on me and shattered around the spark. However, sorted that all out and now fitting a new rocker cover gasket, but once i get to a certain tightness it pops out a lil bit. Is there a certain tightness i have to get the rocker cover back on at? Once this is done its a case of reassemble, and the change the sump and sump gasket etc. Cheers.
-
OK thank you very much guys. It is much appreciated. Can now get this on the road hopefully Shall keep updated.
-
Here are pics of the engine bay and any stickers i could find. Hopefully someone can confirm if its an OBD1 or OBD2 for me. Sorry for being ignorant :/ (theres cloth in this to stop dirt etc getting in as much) Any help on this would be much appriciated. As i am slightly confused with what engine it is as its registered in 97 which IIRC was the change over year? Thanks Nathan

Ok, had to put the golf on hold for until i got my other car working. So Sorry for it being slow and lack of replies. Will get a pic of the throttle body hopefuly tonight and upload soon. I will also check what the sticker says for engine code. Once figured, i will be buying parts, as ibiza is working now. On a side note i saw your stand at GTI and all the cars on there looked smart Insperation for me for sure.
-
ok thanks mate. Will check that out tomorrow. New bit of news though. Get paid on friday (HAPPY DAYS) So once i figure if its new or old engine, ill be ordering all the parts I can afford and then be fitting them.
-
My rocker cover is plastic, So will be checking that when i order parts next week...Need more money :/

Thanks for the replies guys. Will look more into that. I knew there was two engine types but i just thought one was golf other was for the 'raddo. Whoops. Dont know if this will help but its a closer pic of the stripped bay. Be it a bit blurry. Going down to the garage in a bit so will see if its a plastic or metal cover. Thanks again.

Hello. Im new here. Name is Nathan but can call me whatever (withing reason ) This is my first VR, and is my 2nd car. Other car is a mk2 Ibiza which is my daily. For anyone interested this is it. Haven't got any previous pics of the VR but its not in best of nick, few rust spots and so on, but nothing major body work wise. However, after a few days of ownership, I noticed an oil leak. PITA but it gave me an excuse to get my hands dirty and learn a bit. Got it from this: To this in about 5 hours work including breaks: Not bad for a novice I think. I have removed the manifold, to get
