5teve's mk1

You can keep that alternator mount but I think if you leave the A/C pump it'll hit the front valance.

Take a look at this thread for some ideas.

thanks for that Peter, i knew someone out there would of preformed these deleting procedures! i just need to get myself a vr6 waterpump pully

brought a mk3 1.8l, 8v (adz) engine from Prestige Eurotoys Auto parts in melbourne great people to deal with.

Was it prestige eurotoys in deer park? Those blokes are complete tools .. and empty out your bank account at the same time.

yeah it was them! well i brought the engine for $600 if im not wrong! i no its abit pricey, after calling over 15 wreckers that specialize in euro cars thats the only place that had an engine that bolts straight in. where do you normally get your parts from?

[GeorgeMK1]

Ahh so you did go there. The guy who serves has the absolute manners and service !!

But um it just depends what youre after really, its all online or through our great forum here. As no one really stocks mk1 parts anymore.

[5teve]

Hahaha yeah exactly mk1 parts are becoming ancient!

Would anyone know where I can get steering rack boots for this golf or are most boots universal?
And any special procedures taking off and placing steering racks boots?




Thanks

Slowly getting things together and spending valuable $$ on things I shouldn't be at the moment but mehhh! Brought these JOMs from veedub machine for the the price of $440 including delivery! Couldn't be any happier with the service, arrived 4 days after I purchased them!

a reasonable productive day with the golf,
a few days ago i had a look at Peter Jones thread about deleting p/s and a/c, went to my nearest Volkswagen store in Essendon Fields and spoke to Chris which hooked me up with a genuine vr6 water pump pulley which costed me $65,
i stared disconnecting the 3 pulleys that were running off the v-belt




i kept the powersteering pulley and cut it down to desired size and used as a spacer





after assembling the water pump pulley i measured out the size of the belt i would need and went into the nearest auto1 store. the female that served me was pretty switched on! (i was proven wrong thought they were only good in the kitchen). she recommended me with a belt which fitted on perfect and also scored a staff discount which added up to $11 for the serpintine belt.... Peter Jones also had this belt labeled in this thread! cant go wrong




right after wrapping the belt around the pulleys this is how it turned out! couldnt be more happier with a easy solution!






if anyone is having issues with a earlier 1.8l engine that wont fit into a mk1 golf and also wanting to delete the a/c and p/s for that reason read through Peter Jones A/C & P/S delete & Serpentine Belt Thread all the information you need is on there and its very simple!

Great job mate ! I actually just used an old 5 series V pulley and with some welding made it fit the pulleys. Your way however is heaps better dude, good work.
