Hi Dan, Have a look in your ETKA and make sure that you have the support bracket mounted correctly,

Model – Year – MG – SG – illustration

Gosy – 1990 – 4 – 09 – 101-10

the bracket fits on the outside of the transfer box as shown

The 3 O rings are located between the transfer box/bellhousing.

think i found the leak today, don’t look like its the transmission, but from the oilpangasket. so took the oilpan down today. it used the hard composit-fibre gasket, going to get myself a new rubber one

the drops that was on the transmission didn’t smell of transmission fluid. so my guess its just motor-oil

Hmmmm.. leaking sumps.. very known on old cars.
There is even a rubber sump gasket+baffle to keep the oil @
the oilpumpnozzle when cornering hard.

Originally made for the TDI mk3 engines, but very well suitable for our
petrol 4-potter engines

so i should use the baffle gasket then? or? i havn’t bought the other one yet

As VW want 30 euros just for the sump gasket, I would suggest you buy the ebay baffled one (it costs about the same with the postage)
btw, VW want over 80 euros for the baffle gasket, ouch

i found the gasked on ebay.com for about 20bucks plus shipping

but, when running the baffle gasket. will i have to remove the original baffle?

No original baffle-plate is in at the moment, just a plastic piece that acts
like a little baffle and sits on the end of the oilpumpnozzle.

A slight cut-up of that one might be needed with reassembly, but all is doable.
Never heared people moaning that it wouldn’t fit, afterwards…

well, i have ordered a new oilpan gasket, headgasket, new outer swaybar bushing kits. and the new axles should arrive shortly. and i’ve fitted the new controlarms and new inner tie rods (got a real good price on 2x lemforder controlarms. about 25€ a pop)

so. almost everything is now new in the front suspension

the “new” axles from rallye that i bought from Vegard came today so they will be cleaned and regreased and all new boots on them too

and the north-viking brake ducts came also looks good

the axles are more or less finished, only one joint left to be cleaned and regreased now

got the angledrive out today aswell. changing the O-rings between the transmission and the angledrive itself

decided to change the oil-seal on the flange aswell, and the big o-ring on the outer end, cheap parts. and smart to do when its out

Its official now….

….

i hate prop-shafts …

the steering rack has little clearance to the dough-nut

and the exhaust is in the way. ohwell. i’ll probably get it fixed by this weekend. and when i’ve done that, the car can be lowered back onto its feets for the first time in a long time

i’m starting to wonder if i should change my gear-wires..

the ones i’ve got from the passat is a bit too long. and was checking etka. and there are som different partnumbers for the wires

passat:
3A0 711 265
3A0 711 266

golf G60
1H0 711 266
1H0 711 265

the wires i’ve got now is touching both the doughnut and propshaft. grinding the plactic covering down. so it won’t last long

Can you not fasten them out of the way with ziplock ties?
