ok – as I say it’s not mega urgent but I’d like to try and sort if possible. I drove it for a bit while I had no syncro or gti and I think i ran it a little bit ragged…not least by filling it full of 02c boxes and hurtling back from holland in it on our last gearbox run

[ld50]

next to the one at edwins perchance? How cheap is cheap? we’re talking beer money here…

[ld50]

excellent. Thanks danny – so at least It’s driving more or less how it should be – that’s fine for me to crack on then

[ld50]

a further thought occurred to me before I try this – does the K-jet have anything like a “limp home” mode? and if so how would I find out if it’s running in it?

As far as I recall there is an ecu in the usual place but quite what it controls I don’t fully understand (yet).

Sorted thanks chriss

there’s a few more pics of them in the photos too
(no beaut but still)

tc I thought that’s how the motor sits on the coutry chassis – I know it deffo doesn’t sit at normal height compared to a regular syncro.

As far as I was aware, the G60 (cable-shift) gearbox and rallye rear diff are about as strong a setup as you’ll get without going haldex…even switching to cable-shifted box is enough hassle though!

[ld50]

smart job! You must be chuffed with your handiwork that book’s well worth the read isn’t it.

[ld50]

now that sounds like a fun idea

[ld50]

ok thanks – I wasn’t sure whetehr the vac related to the load or the rpm or both. I guess I can fit it and see what happens… suppose it’ll be pretty obvious if the power drops off.

that woudl be the unidentified lead I had when respraying the engine bay on the gti – photo of it here:

[ld50]

good progress – I like those rims

[ld50]

Ace write-up chris – I’ll be followign that soon on my syncro hopefully I discussed this with TC and I think he mentioned undoing the main 31mm bolt with the wheel/tyre still on the ground might be an option if there’s no brake-pusher to hand.
