My SEAT GTI 2.0 16v 1999

Bought this last week and today I got the chance to detail her... Stoked with how she cleaned up.

Looks great and in the best colour (red goes faster).

Are you going to mod her or just enjoy the driving?

Cheers Paul...........The car is totally stock and it is great fun to drive. But I would like it a bit lower and I want a bit more growl out of the exhaust nothing that is annoyingly loud tho. If you or anyone can recommend any tried and true springs or exhaust or other ways of getting some more power out of it.

Nice find. Very rare to find one in this condition with all the stickers on it. I found KW V2's to work really well. Still had a good ride but handled like on rails. I had mine on the highest setting which still gave it a nice stance lower that standard. Not cheap though.

I noticed that this belt is looking in pretty bad shape. I am just trying to get my head around how im going to change it. My abf repair manual doesnt really show how to change it. would I be rite in thinking that I have to undo these bolts and refit a new belt I havent done heaps of work on cars before but im not gonna pay someone to do it

Really nice car

Normally there is a bolt that you undo (but not remove),
that enables one item to be swung on the bolt you loosened to release the belt tension
You can then change the belt and re-tension (don't over tension)

Thanks for the quick reply....Just to clarify one of these 3 blots you undo and it will allow the belt to come lose and be changed excuse my mechanical vagueness

No mate not those. They hold the pulley to the pump. and there's one missing too.

It looks like the adjuster is in your picture but out of focus. There's a 13mm bolt through it. It just needs backing off a touch then you get a bigger spanner on the next bit back and this has teeth on it mated to a bar. That is the adjuster.

so this bolt here I believe.. What is the chances of finding a replacement bolt for my missing bolt..... When I bought the car it came with the replacement belt how can I be sure its the correct belt?
