I put on new rear discs and pads, front and rear wheel bearings and a set of new top shock mounts.
What a job doing the front wheel bearings... first time I've done them on my Golf! I followed Peter Jones' method here. All done, just wheel alignment to get sorted!

Glad to be of service!

My white MK1 developed a loose exhaust system yesterday. I think I need to set up an extra hanger.

Suspect that root cause has something to do with having two wheels in the air at 110 km/h

Did some work on the 16v this weekend. Car is finally back together again - thank you long weekend! Put the newly ceramic coated dump-pipe on. It looks ridiculously flash with the shiny ceramic coating but the main reason was to cut down on heat in the engine bay, and to make the pipe last longer as well. I suspect it will lose its shine after the first track day.

Also made up a basic baffle to go over cylinder #1 inlet cam lobe, the one that throws oil straight at the oil filler cap. I have the built in oil-cap/breather set up so under prolonged high revs it ends up throwing a fair bit of oil into the catch can, even though the breather itself is baffled. This should stop a lot of that, the edges are turned down so when you fill with oil it just spills off the sides.


Now I have to set up a fuel surge tank - has anyone set one up in a mk1?
