Testing inline pic:
If this works all I did was open the (attached) pic from your post, right click, copy imge url. Then in the text click “img” from the menu, paste url and hey presto (unless it didn’t work then not).
And yes, attached pics are uploaded to the site so will stay with it forever, the old forum is littered with pics where the hosting service no longer exists or whatever :-\
The pics will still need to be attached first then go back and edit the post I guess. Occasionally posts disappear (which is very annoying but so far haven’t been able to track down or recreate the issue) so perhaps post-then-edit is a good approach anyway.

interesting. so was that the RHD downpipe or the LHD one? the LHD standard syncro downpipe is pretty decent (i think I have one somewhere) – 2 smooth pipes and little restriction, whereas the RHD one is with the round connector with clips and the flattened section.

oh really? that’s good to know! just saved me an item on the list. nice 🙂
just fixed the headlight wiring, put the front bumper on and sorted a couple of other little bits…would like to do more but am exhausted so that’ll have to do for now.
Unfortunately the indicator bulb holder thing (i.e. the plastic insert the bulb sits in which gets slotted into the back of the indicators are a bit worse for wear. Does anyone have any big bumper indicators knocking about? A pair would be ideal but one would do. Thanks in advance 🙂

oh yikes. the standard GU downpipe on a G60? that doesn’t sound great but I guess it would work..sorta. Never even worked particularly well on the original GU.

hmm well it’s RHD so I guess it’s not an original G60..rhd g60 conversion?

re the motor – g60 – nice! that should have the right bolt holes on the back of the block etc which is great, and having the full donor car/loom/everything should make life a lot easier 🙂

hmm not sure why the old forum posts were hidden – have fixed that.
the old site had to be locked since the signup process got broken by the ceaseless march of technology…but all the old forum posts were migrated across to the new forums, and there’s a link cunningly hidden at the top of old forum posts titled “See this exact topic on the new forums”….which in this case links to:
https://forum.vwsyncro.co.uk/?s=%22020+rod+change+to+02C+cable+change+parts+list%22&ad=topicfwd_2361
and
https://forum.vwsyncro.co.uk/?s=%22brake+upgrades%22&ad=topicfwd_119
respectively. But you should be able to see the old forum posts now. Not sure why they were hidden. Hope that helps..

Congrats on the syncro Sam 🙂
so what motor (engine code) was in the corrado which you’re planning to swap into the syncro? That’ll help with figuring out how difficult this is going to be
You can indeed use a gti lift pump with some modification, and with just a little wiring modification you can even use all the oem gti loom for the fuel pump and it’ll all link in to the correct relay so the fuel pump stops and starts as it should as standard. There’s pics on here somewhere and I’ll dig them out otherwise. It’s relatively straightforward.

just testing image posting via attachment – Sam do you not get the “attach file” button below the post gubbins? I just tested posting a pic and it seemed to work ok. Some mobile browsers have issue with it though on my android phone it works in chrome.

Hiya Sam,
glad you were able to log in finally, welcome to the site 🙂

wunderbar and rear wiper removed. That’s all I’ve got energy for today. exhausting week.

fixing the downpipe leak and the rear brake cylinder are not likely to be trivial but should both be doable. Might need to fix my compressor first tho as that packed up too recently (of course). Rear brake may actually be ok, at least for the short term, but I’ll need to have a proper look at least to check it’s not leaking or knackered.
The little spots of rust above and below the windscreen can just be filled for now, will get the screen pulled and weld them properly once mot. Otherwise I think I’ll just aim for “minimum viable product”, get it more or less the same colour and then work it from there.
Today has been EPIC progress though. The wiring was the only “absolute blocker” on the to do list and has been so for over a year I’m sure. Can’t believe it was such a simple thing in the end and that I had to rip a perfectly good alarm out to get to that point but whatever. I think my insurer will require another alarm and I have no problem with that when the time comes. Either way it’s now working and I’d still take that outcome vs alarm and not working 🙂

erm yes probably – does that control that too? I don’t know what the current situation is there. There’s normally a couple of wires which go to the box on a KR install, I guess they’re the reversing light switch? Pretty sure I could hack something together there since i should have the original plug from the GU loom.
