my engine is dofo goosed. removed the water pump to reveal a big hole with a rod grinning its evil face at me.
Hope to get a new engine in before the trip.
if anyone knowes where i can get an engine then let me kno. would like bit more power but would also like the can back on the road again.
Unlucky , I thought the bottom ends were bullet proof
anyway send dubhighland a pm , he might be able to help you out , he had a 2l 8v engine on ebay last week from a mk3 gti but ive no idea how hard that would be to fit into your mk1.
cheers

finally bought a new engine, didnt think they would be so hard to find. bought off flee bay and sent to TSR for rebuild. Not sure what the chances of getting it back and fitted in time are but im hoping it all works out.

Hi guys. im Paul and ive come over from scottishvag to join the run over the lecht. Heres a pic of my 205 that im taking along.
My other car that i have is a Polo GTI, however i thought the 205 would be more suitable for this run.

Guys
unfortunatly I won't be able to take my mk1 on Saturday. Engine broke on the way to Edinburgh the other day. Got some advice and believe it could a valve spring or a bearing shell that has gone.
Decided it's getting a full rebuild so engine is coming out next week and it's off to Agra in Dundee. Going to take 6 to 8 weeks for rebuild so won't make Knockhill with it either. Sorry Baz.
If I'm still home will turn up this Saturday in my R32.
Hope to see you all then.
Cheers

Bought it new in 2003 and have only managed 20k in it!!! It's my other keeper. It could really do with a decent run so hopefully next week.
Always wanted a vr6 back in the day. They are a nice motor.
