My little MK5 2.0TDI R-line build thread
Christiank:
Started sand down the GTI carriers... Think I'll find someone that can blast it instead :) Rebuild kit with piston, seals and dustboots arrived today. Still awaiting hose mount and handbrake spring from VW.
VW Caddy rear calipers with VW MK5 GTI carriers.
Rebuild kit from BigRed
A little picture of the new wire harness for the ANTI THEFT / ANTI TOW alarm retrofit. Still need a few connectors in the box before I can finish the harness.. :confused:
Bought the pin removal tool last night - What a joy! Can't belive why I haven't bought this sooner!
Christiank:
Yesterday my engine for rebuild arrived.
Was lucky to find a 2.0TDI 16v BKD 2008 engine with only 42.000miles on the clock ready for the rebuild with Darkside Development parts. Even though it's a 2008 engine it was pretty nasty on the outside with old oil and dirt.
Started taking all of it apart to get everthing ready to be vapour blasted.
Christiank:
Well... Not much lately, been working like crazy with my new job. Today I had a little time free and I went to remove last bits and pieces from the top piece from the engine.
Now the Oil sump, head, intake manifold , a few other small pieces from the engine and my rear brake calipers will be dropped of for vapour blasting tomorrow.
Injectors are all shipped of to Darkside Developments to get Firad 120 nozzle fitted, new seals and a calibration :)
Collected a few packages this week for the rebuild :)
Some fresh oil from Millers are ready for when engine is all putted back together.
Some Forge motorsport silicone hoses for coolant ready to be putted on the engine :)
This is a mixed up order with different stuff.. Oil, fuel filters, heated nozzle washer jet for windscreen, Mk6 radio frame, 2L brake fluid, tandem fuel pump, black rear seat lights and black sunglass compartment.
Christiank:
Nothing much happened on this car lately.
Still need much engine to come back from the vapour blasting guy, he's a week behind so hopefully it should arrive next week at some point.
Hopefully then I'll be more ready to get the stuff putted back together than what I am now :D - Taking a few extra hours at work to fund this build...... ....
Managed to get a great deal on a genuine Mk5 R32 rear bumper with the upper and lower bumper parts all intact. Will order the mk6 golf gti rear exhaust valance to see if it's possible to build this so it'll fit the mk5 bumper somehow - Since mine a TDI and now a R32 I'll want to do something completely different than what many do with their GTI models which is fit the milltek exhaust with the R32 bumper :)
I will hopefully end up having a milltek exhaust with the mk6 golf tdi black ceramic coated exit pipes with the mk6 GTI dual look which is 1 pipe in each side of the bumper :indifferent:
Also decided to go for the 6-speed manual to DSG conversion :)
Will post some pictures when the parts are back from the blasting.
Christiank:
Picked up the stuff from cleaning today - Very nice to see such a great result :)
Now I just need to decide which color my brake calipers should have then they can get powder coated all ready for mounting.
Still need ALOT of parts before this engine will go anywhere :confused: :sick:
