Dylan8's Vento

A/c and water pump are basically flat (non grooved) on mine. So going to say normal.

Wire inside of pulley, surely foreign?

Phew, that's good to hear.

Yeah I'm guessing so... can't seem to unwind it, might have to throw the new compressor kit in earlier then planned

Cos everyone loves pics.

What I was worried about regarding the pulleys

One of the many helpers...

Thirsty vr, Bentley manual, iPad for wiring and tunes, vr.
Sums up this car. ..

[dylan8]

Anyone know what these should be connected too?
Found both hidden under the air box.

The first runs to the maf loom.

The second runs into one of the main harnesses to or from engine/ecu

[HaydEn]

The green/brown is abs on fire wall.

The white/red brown/white is the temp sensor for dash on front lower grille

[dylan8]

Ah sick.
Cheers. That's external air temp just for display reasons rather then management/running of the car?
Wonder if the sensor is still on the golf bumper

[HaydEn]

Yeah external for cluster only. Ecu temp is on passenger side of intake manifold near the vac line for fpr. I extended my iat with 22 gauge wires to sit behind the cluster temp sensor. (Mk4 iat)

It clips into the grille and sticks out. Looks very similar to the abs sensor which sits kinda up behind the grille

[dylan8]

Ah cool. Not essential then. Had the air box out already so ran the wires in that direction. No luck on the sensor so hopefully dad can find it on the golf bar for later.
Tucked the abs one away as.
Air box back in and it fits much better this time. Even found what I think is one of the orginal rubber straps so out with the cable ties we had folding it down.

Seems something fishy is going on with the passenger side mount. Was freely moving on the new bfi mounts so pulled it out to find the bolt had some thread damage right down at the bottom. Been trying to take the rest of the mount out to investigate but it's a nightmare to crack the last bolt.

Nipped up all the a/c lines so nothing is flapping around for roady.
Wheels back on after Pat borrowed them for the cab.

Hopefully can find the right arch liner screws tomorrow night as I seem to be messing whatever holds the bar to the liner.

Next up will be the r32 pickup, sump, and a fresh gasket. Hopefully that's the last of the oil leaks

[dylan8]

So found some old pics from when I rebuilt the head on my old phone.
as suspected, no valve steam seals. IDIOT!

any one had any luck with floating the valves with air pressure
or am I able to turn the motor to hold individual valves while installing the seal?

had it suggested that it can also work by feeding some string in the spark plug to fill the chamber to hold the valve up.

I really cbf pulling the head off and replacing bolts again

[thestu]

don't be a lazy guy dyl, just pull the head off.
