YOu may. It was 4 grand mate. It's had a batty, tow to my place, roadworthy, rego, brakes and some other stuff still to do. Plus the turbo of course.

good work on the revival - and keep it coming too, i've enjoyed this thread very much. like it when cars get a second chance.

What's the go with the filler cap mate? Looks like it's wearing primer at the moment?

If you want advice on how to accidentally remove it, I would advise pulling a vinyl wrap off without too much care. The thing just pops out lol. That was a real headf*ck at the time.

Yeah, it's been broken off. Might buy a can from VW to spray it myself..

Fingers crossed the turbo shows up today!!

Gav you'll be lucky if it shows up today - the post office said because of your post code or something it'd be more like Tues/Weds.

Just expecting a miracle James. What I find funny, is I can express post stuff to Perth cbd from 40km outside Brisbane overnight but they can't do it back?

Rebuilds are always the best.

Good luck with this one.

wow that is one knackered turbo!! did you find any bits of it upstream in the intercooler piping? wouldn't want a fin getting sucked into the engine.

I reckon the inter cooler would be a fair filter as well. Nothing but a bit of oil in the lowest point, no sign of any swarf.

Anything making it past the intercooler would be pretty small. Then it has to make it up 50cm vertically. I will be sleeping soundly.

Looking good mate, welcome to the Polo club (even if you have been a large part of it previously).

Is this going to turn into something interesting? Big or even medium plans?
