.second part of my approval is done 
the importer (volkswagen norway) has taken a look at the car, confirming that i’ve done whats needed inorder to get this car registered as a golf GTI G60 Syncro
the local “DMV” tomorrow, for final inspecion, hopefully it’ll pass. and that my cooland leak isnt too severe ( old hose, but i did not have the right one lying around, and its DIRT expensive)
will within time get some silicone hoses (venair) good quality, and quite reasonable to buy aswell.
this venair set is a complete set of coolant hoses
did not pass inspection.. well. there was no inspection really
when i arrived, the inspector read the paperwork i had. based on that, i’ve got to go to another district to get it approved 
and on top of that, an oilseal on the vc flange on the rear diff has let go. leaking oil. so need to replace that, and a coolant hose. which has started leaking even worse now
this sucks
btw, as for partnumbers:
020 301 189 T – for the oileals 50x65x10mm
020 409 289 B – for the lids (or end caps as etka calles them)
hoses are
037 121 053 C – flange > heat exchanger > coolant pump
037 121 058 – heat exchanger > coolant pump > coolant pipe
sooo.. this week has been slow, havnt done ANYTHING in the garage the last week, havn’t even been there
been waiting for parts. and working. so havn’t had the energy to do it, but, parts are now arrived. so. hopefully i’ll get them on tomorrow. then its just to order a new approval time for the golf, this time in oslo. god damnit
parts are in. one of the oilseals are replaced in the rear diff. but, too much work damn cold weather. kills cables and cable-tv amplifiers which i have to fix
saturday tomorrow, so i’ve got the whole day to replace the last one, and then on to the hoses in the front, this is all thats missing now
and if i feel for it, i’ll hook up my Innovate LC-1 wideband lambda sensor and gauge.
using the wideband’s analogue output for the Digifant 1 ecu. then the digital output for the gauge
since these engines are known for running lean, its best to have a gauge to have an eye on it when the driving gets inspirational on icetracks/tarmac tracks
both oilseals are now replaces, fluid is added to the diff. sooo.. the rear is finished
i was finished with the cooling hoses. but the outlet on the oilcooler decided not to stay leak free. so. took the cooler of to replace it. then i broke the o-ring between the cooler and flange for the oilfilter
so. bought a new one, but havnt fitted it, only got it today
and i’ve been working too much, overtime almost everyday at work, its good money, but its tiresome. which means things are going realy slow
whats left now is to fill up the car with coolant, remount the hydraulic pump and book a new time at the approval guys
and hopefully it’ll pass this time if not. i’m wrecking the car and dig myself into the ground..
because its not new. its “used-new”. meaning new to me
didnt see this until i filled the car with clean water to check for leaks
