Ok, all jokes aside, and niw its time to get srious. This is what the engine looks like after a flash burn:


And busy getting it all cleaned up and ready for pulling it out.

Will keep everyone up to date with pics and writing.

Now I see why you got it cheap. Looks like there's a lot of work ahead of you, and that's just cleaning up after the fire.

Jesus is that even salvageable?

[Mk1@4Motion]

It should be salvageable... And like I said, there is no rush with this thing. So the motor will eventually be pulled apart and the head and block will be pressure tested to make sure there is no serious damage...

I spent about three hours yeaterday and it looks like I have done nothing...

I even have the missus engaged in the cleaning proces:


And we have a clean engine bay to see what is going on:

Just put that motor next to mine so when I come to pick it up I know which one to get.

The one...

If your motor stays long enough there is someone who wants to buy a 16V and turbo it...

And also found out, the 1.8T is an APY CODE ENGINE.

So the stats are: 210PS(154kW;207bhp @5800rpm) and 270NM(199lb/ft@2100rpm)

Pretty happy with that...

Love those torque numbers. This motor in a MK1 would be a really sweet country road cruiser.

Just wanna note how sunburnt I got after yesterday's motor clean out. :/ and cheers for the unsuspecting photos Clarkie

Love the power numbers to... And I will try and push for a bit more power out of the motor once I rebuild it.

And sportsracer, come pick up the engine before wednesday and you get a set of headbolts, ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!!!

holy **** that fire! good luck man and get on it cant wait to see this happen...
but far out that looks messy! hopefully it cleans up well




...and if sportsracer doesnt pick up that 16v i will personally drive up to canberra and pick it up myself

[Mk1@4Motion]

Sportsracer has the important part of the motor which is a complete gasket set which went with the motor...

Yeah she did get a bit of fire but you should see what it looks like now... I can see all around the engine now and I can now figure out what loosen up to get the motor out by itself etc... That came with the cost of the missus getting sunburnt to help out...

I think I've figured a way to get the motor home (my tow car still has a dud gbox). If I take the gbox off I can fit it into the back of the Golf. Then if I take the head off it will make the motor light enough to get into the Golf too.

Haven't done much yet other than getting Pi$$ed off at telstra about my internet... But here is a question for everyone and would like some help on this:

How similar is the Golf Mk4 and Audi S3 to one another?

Sports racer I gotta do a furniture run down the coast in a week or so. I could chuck the engine and gearbox in my van if you'd like.

Mk14mo they're the same platform afaik? So very similar. Back to work mate!! is it finished yet?
