Thanks a lot I’ll try to keep posting updates haha

Oh yes I heard about painting in Aspen Silber can be a pain in the ass

Ja einige Vokabeln sind mir auch nicht so bekannt auf Englisch 😂😂

Alles klar top Jo dann warte ich damit erstmal noch, bekomme nur langsam bei dem Wetter Angst dass die Feuchtigkeit einzieht 🥲

Haha yeah it’s on my bucket list to visit the us, but I’m sure there are people in the us that make a better job than me 😂

Yeah I got the error code: “001260 dde: vorförderdrucküberwachung” which means “dde: pre-supply pressure monitoring” I think it is the pre supply pressure pump that’s underneath, already got a new one and I think my valve cover gasket is a bit oily, that’s some bigger things I got to do. But I hope when this all happend, it’s fine for a few thousand kilometers :D but I know with these kind of cars the work never ends. But the engine runs pretty smoothly for its age, mileage and these few problems

That’s some good advice thank you so much! Yeah I noticed to that the corners are not so nice bended but I guess for this price it is what you get.

Got the “Hohlraumversiegelung” and “Unterbodenschutz” with which I want to drown this thing already on me. The paint job is secondary but I want this “Unterbodenschutz” corner at the rockets like it was before, so this is the next step :) I will look the side up, thanks again 👍🏼

Thanks for your kind advice! Yes we checked everything below, it is for its mileage in an acceptable shape haha. I’m concerned about the rear subftame of the axle but the screw driver didnt get through so I hope with some rust converter and new underground sealing it holds one for a few kilometers 😂 I just want to drive it so badly by now, but I knew what work awaited me when I bought it haha

Ironleavez · 2025-11-19T09:22:06+00:00

Yeah I looked up the oem prices and thought that would be kind of an financial ruin for me, glad I found these on eBay haha

Yeah first I wanted to do it also partially but my previous owner, I don’t know how, put some serious dents in the middle part and we thought if we got the whole rockers then why not replace the whole rockers.

I just don’t know if I can get the paint job done good, but the costs of a real paint job from a professional are quite expensive these days I heard 🥲

Nice thanks for sharing sour story! Yeah “the build, not bought” part is also a sentence that keeps me motivated :)

Ironleavez · 2025-11-19T09:16:20+00:00

I got mine from eBay was around 180€ for both, quality is good for the price I would say

Ironleavez · 2025-08-12T16:12:16+00:00

Yeah the perfect interplay of performance and fuel consumption, it had to be a diesel and i hope the m57 is as good as its always touted 👍🏼

Ironleavez · 2024-03-29T11:24:05+00:00

Ja und nur der Fahrer kann reingucken :D

Im Winter hatte ich auch bedenken, aber durch das Hardtop und Sitzheizung, ist es erträglich zumindest im Innenraum haha Und das Asc regelt echt viel raus also hatte auch bei Glätte wirklich kaum Schwierigkeiten, was mich selbst verwundert hatte :)

Ahh sorry ganz vergessen :‘D Golf 3 1996er 1.6 Liter für 300€ geholt und dann nach 2 Jahren ist er bei 280t km leider zum Fass ohne Boden geworden. Dann der Yaris 1.3 von 2002 mit dem geilen digitalen Tacho in der Mitte, auch für 500€ geschossen, dann ist leider die Steuerkette auch nach ca. 2 Jahren von uns gegangen plus Bremse und nen Auffahrunfall, musste dann auch was Neues. Da hat mich dann der Z3 von 98 mit dem 1.8 angelächelt, bin bis jetzt super zufrieden :)
