Tonight I changed my oil pressure sender on the GTI6, thought it would be straight forward and only involve removing the oil filter and getting to it from below.

 

Ended up having to remove the slam, grill, and inlet, and get to it from above, but it's done now and making good oil pressure.

Nothing , but my tacho adapter and speedo cable turned up

Changed the ignition module and put in standard wiring from fuse board to ignition barrel.

Started reconstruction of my engine bay sensor loom which was in dreadful shape after having seen a lot of engine oil during it's 340.000 km's. Decided the brown plugs are gonna go and going to be replaced with watertight FEP connectors.

Went out to car

To find my own private swimming pool on passenger footwell-pants

 

 

Just as well the wife wears heels-she'd drown otherwise

 

 

Still, my sides dry

Spent hours connecting stuff up as instructed, only four wires, yet still no rev counter.

Bought some new wheels i'd been after buying for a very long time, not keen on the blue might polish it off

Fixed my hot start problem finally (I think ). Went through the lot, checked the wiring and voltage from the ignition barrel, new starter, new solenoid cable, new gearbox earth, and replaced the brown multiplug of doom with a six way superseal.

 

Before all this I had been getting 4-8v at the starter solenoid even when cold. Now I am getting a healthy 12v. If it fails again, I'm out of ideas, other than the relay hack which I have the parts ready for...

New cambelt and pump, race logic box borrowed, 8.71 0-62 not bad for a 30 year old 1600.

I hate that clips that go on pads

MoT passed first time!

[Thijs_Rallye 86 4 Cars]

Started replacing all fuel lines and brake lines and plastic thingies which broke off during disassembly. (luckily still had a few from a stalled project)

Hi Garry

8.7sec for the dash to 60mph is very respectable in my view. Good work .

Broke the overflow pipe of the rad I bought only a short time ago while fitting a sad valve hose !

Gutting but needn't be as expensive as it seems. I used a servo take off from the inlet, which I screwrd into the radiator where the plastic tail broke off. I'm sure there are alternatives if you don't have a spare inlet manifold lying around

[welshpug 1,626]

how did you manage that? they're a few feet apart

 

I have succesfully repaired one with a rivet head and quik metal radiator repair type chemical.

[Leslie green 81]

Thanks steve ,I just put a self tapper in the hole for now ,it wasn't a new rad anyway thankfully ,I knew when I was putting that pipe on that was a weak area the silicon hose on the rad overflow is a little too thick and there just is just enough room under it due to rad design to put clamp on. ECP do a new rad for 50 quid .

The end of the sad valve goes in the bottom of the inlet manifold which is very hard to access without taking the rad out , I should have taken the rad out but the slam panel is off so there was just enough room to make a mess and pulling the rad back put a strain on the plastic overflow . I must get some "quik metal" type stuff anyway as I've another job for it
