Re: [mk2-16v] Part Out Negotiation?

I did this about 15 years ago with sciroccos. I bought them cheap and parted out the interiors/power trains. Sold the stuff via the old scirocco mailing list. I generally sold things for half the price of junkyards. Some thing I'd ask for offers one with the proviso that the buyer had to

Re: [mk2-16v] Part Out Negotiation?

The biggest headache I'm seeing with parting out older cars is that so many buyers want "factory-fresh" parts at below bargain basement prices.  Worse are the games that buyers play that range from requesting hundreds of worthless photos to making false claims about damage.   It's become such a

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

And just as an FYI, on a 2.0 block, both knock sensors are mounted on the side of the block which faces the front of the car. And as I recall, the leads for both sensors come from the firewall in a small vinyl covered harness that runs by the rear of the head over the top of the bell housing (more

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

The wire you’re touching looks like the O2 signal. In your case it looks like the shield might have been pulled off and ran to ground. (That’s a guess, could be like that from the factory) The red and yellowish (sorry, I’m a little color blind) are the O2 heater. The 2 whites and the lead with

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

im pretty sure i have 2 knock sensors? im attaching a picture of what i uncovered from electrical tape. looks like a brown wire covered with black that goes to top connector from drivers side, its duct taped along i guess stock loom. i assumed ground at first but wonder if this could be the

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

As Steve mentioned, the O2 sensor signal wire is shielded, similar to a coaxial cable. It's basically a regular insulated braided copper wire of about 20 gauge, with a braided shield covering it. ~Holland On Mar 19, 2016 12:13, "damac2004" wrote: > im pretty sure i have

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

On a typical 1.8 CIS-E the O2 signal wire is shielded and green to an insulated male spade connector and there are 2 white heater wires into a duplex VW connector. I’m not sure how big of a deal the knock sensor issue that you’re going to have is. Your Motronic ECU is going to want 2 knock

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

Progress! That's awesome! I don't remember the wire colors anymore, but yes, one of the wires to the O2 sensor is the heater wire. Hopefully, once you set the timing, it will improve things. However, until you get the O2 sensor hooked up correctly, it isn't going to run right. But at least you've

Re: [mk2-16v] how do i find out what engine i have?

sorry i think the egr system attaches to the holes i am talking about. and i just dumped water down the runners and confirmed that the 2 big holes are open to the intake runners. so one picture is the euro intake and the holes are so open you can look and see through. stock manifold isn't

[mk2-16v] Transfer pump gasket - part number? source?

Hi, the round rubber gasket which is immediately below the locking ring of the transfer pump and surrounding the transfer pump assembly on my 87 gti 16v is falling apart and swollen. does anyone know the part number? I think the Mk4's might use the same gasket... this is the part number that

well i capped off one hole with a bolt/washer and the other with a thick plate and gasket. turned the key once to hear the pump prime and then tried to start the car and it started right up and idled a bit less than 900 rpm i think. wow do i feel stupid. i got various little things to fix

RE: [mk2-16v] Part Out Negotiation?

Thanks for the heads up that I am going to have headaches getting the fender and headliner off. About today’s buyer’s of partouts, I think we are seeing this across everything. Today’s buyer has so many more choices for everything they buy that they no longer have to be respectful, patient

Re: [mk2-16v] Part Out Negotiation?

Local guy had a 944 turbo that I'd like the get the torque tube from. However he hasn't removed it yet and the rear suspension and tranny are still in too. That means I'd have to spend ten hours pulling it from the car. No thanks! Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 18, 2016, at 3:01 PM, Larry
