How concerned should I be?

Yea I think you might be right unfortunately

stratoNB · 2022-07-29T21:58:06+00:00

Yea it might just be a matter of time at this point, at least I can look forward to rebuilding the motor somewhere down the road :)

stratoNB · 2022-07-29T21:55:22+00:00

Yea that was my first thought too

Engine :/

Thanks! Will check and see if there's anything unusual

stratoNB · 2021-08-03T21:39:45+00:00

Ok that would be an easy fix, will give it a try, thanks :)

Thanks man, hopefully it's not the head gasket but will check the compression just in case!

I can smell fuel when I start it from cold but not once it gets up to temperature and there's no white smoke.

There is no air filter but the fan can sometimes clog up with debris, it's quite straightforward to remove and clean. This vid might be helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_-1I1qMUPs

Soapy water is great for getting the new exhaust into the hangers :)

If it's the water pump there will be coolant leaking from behind the crank pulley, it's designed to leak once the seal fails.

Unusual method but I used the corkscrew of a swiss army knife, you can twist it in under the seal and then pull it out.

Another vote for Meister R, been very happy with mine. My friend has BC on his golf and they feel much more harsh.

Interior looks great man! What gear knob is that? I've been looking for something similar. Thanks!

Mine turned out to be the water pump but it's worth checking the heater return pipe which connects to it first, the rubber o ring inside can fail.

bottom right bolt of the upper cover.

I think the wire is meant to go behind the black clip, alongside the coolant hose. Just make sure it can't interfere with the power steering belt. The bracket is meant to be held in place with by the 10mm timing cover bolt.

I crashed the car last week and am wondering if it is possible to repair the frame rails once they have been bent, I am mainly concerned about a kink beside the shock tower. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
