My Quattro

[sal_s2]

So, I finally received the correct front bearings ( on the third attempt). Pressed them in and fitted the front struts and brakes

[sal_s2]

I think I'm going to need some strut top bearings though.
Is it true that the blue ones are better than the greens?
I don't want the solid ones as they didn't last that long on my s2

[quattrostyle]

Which ones didn't last, compbrake?

You may want to try Albert's (offset) top mounts?

[sal_s2]

Mine were the standard blue ones

[quattrostyle]

So you did not try solid topmounts like Compbrake or the likes yet?

[sal_s2]

I tried them on my s2, one side started knocking within a few months

[quattrostyle]

Hmm, maybe Albert's mounts last longer? Well hopefully.

Stock top mounts will be gone in no time with coilovers or any lowering suspension for that matter.

Time for a little update, proof that I managed to get it on the road for all the doubters, you know who you are

[sal_s2]

Thing is, I'll be pulling the engine out at some point as the clutch has started to judder, so I'll switch the flywheel out for a heavier one at the same time. Swap the braking system for a dual vac servo from Alex and sort out some of the wiring so might be another 5 years until the next update, stay tuned

No probs

I'm building another engine anyway that I'm going to fit instead. Also need to lower then engine a touch as the wagner inlet manifold hits the bonnet. It'll be easier to fit the shortened engine loom properly with the engine out the way. I routed it incorrectly resulting in some of the auxilary loom wires catching on the steering arms. I fitted a double head gasket to drop compression more when I had the gt35 turbo fitted which I no longer want in place,
Prob a couple more reaons to pull the whole lot out but cant think of them right now Maybe fit a different turbo! Anyone got an rs2 turbo lying around ?
