no such userBalls – found the next issue-ette.
The mounting bracket to secure the angle-drive to the back of the block on the cable-change gearbox is substantially different to the rod-change gearbox. I don’t know whether the 2.0 block is any different to the PG motor bolt holes. I’m thinking the key issue is that there are two bolt heads that poke out of the angle-drive, which the mounting plate sits on, when it shouldn’t.
Chris SI have a spare 02C transfer box bracket here, shall I get it in the post to you?
btw there is no way that the 020 one will fit

Well, there IS, but it’ll involve a lot of cutting and welding!
Yes, please do ship that bracket with the next lot of bits!
no such userAnother night, another session. Mounted the underfloor pressure pump and the in-tank lift pump tonight, with the pipes and pump provided by Mr S. It all went rather well, which was nice.
The bitch part of this was the stupid pipe clip on the vertical part of the bodyshell – in about a 1-2cm space between tank and bodyshell. Anyway – I eventually got the old hoses out and the new ones in, along with the wiring for the pressure pump. The lines up to the front clipped in fine and were about the right length.
Now, can someone remind me – black and blue – which is feed and which is return?
Junior JacksonBlack feed, blue return…
I did this today – the right hand one came out of the clip with a tug – the left hand needed screwdriver persuasion (and a good tug…)
Chris.

Need more Argoshield and time.
I gathered together a load of crossflow pictures from VWVortex the other night. These are now here:

no such userYay – have new bottle of Argoshield, so can continue with the second bracket tonight, hopefully!

Also blanked off the EGR valve hole in the manifold and acquired rather nice packaging from work to ship the head off in.

Would that be a 6th injector?

The heater, dash and dashboard loom are now safely re-located in the car.
The Techtonics cam has also now arrived, which is nice. Apparently the ABF rad is now in at Vee W Services, ready for collection, too.
Spoke to the guy doing the head work earlier today and he’s received it and the flywheel (getting a lightened one) and it should be ready for collection by next Tuesday [:0].
I’ll be collecting the head and flywheel the weekend after this, so the items which will be outstanding are the bits due from Chris, some spacers for the prop that DannyP said I’d need (and he could get sorted, you listening, Danny?). Once this little lot shows up it’s going to be bolted together, really *gulp*.
Chris SSpacers for the prop???
no such userYes, the 02C gearbox dosen’t bolt straight onto a pre 90 propshaft, well it bolts up but it’ll trash the rubber doughnut and the drive flange on the gearbox once you start putting power through it.
the recesses in drive flange are as follows ( as far as I know )
rallye 25mm
passat syncro g60 22mm
90 spec syncro 22mm
pre 90 spec syncro 18mm
So you have an 18mm lug in a 22mm recess & put under load that is going to move about and trash ether the doughnut or the driveflange, so there are 3 options I see,
1) get a passat g60 doughnut and machine the propshaft end down to 18mm or
2) get a piece of steel bar, centerbore it 18mm, the turn the outside diameter down to 22mm then part off 3mm sections. fit the said sections onto the rubber doughnut on the gearbox side and sorted you have a nice tight fit.
3) find and fit ether a 90 speck front propshaft section or whole prop and rear diff
no such userAnyone got any thoughts on the speedo cable on the Syncro gearbox versus the electronic speedo pickup on the cable-change box? Not essential, but nice to know how fast one is going.
Chris SYes take it out and use a normal G60 type speedo cable, I have a spare one here I will put in the next parcel unless you saved the Passat one?
