Long waiting

[Sweeper]

New body shell , mostly a new car. But will require a month or two atleast to finish it. Will pray that with help of Marco and other members will get it in working condition soon.

Here is the pic.

I wonder why they reject you. They accepted my Visa with no hassle and I am Hungarian citizen. Try them again.

[Sweeper]

They don't accept debit card. And my Visa Virtual don't work(dunno why).

I don't know about Hungary but in Latvia it's a pain in the *** to get a credit card. Expecially for a student like me.

IC looks definitly big.
What kind of mechanical setup does she have at the moment?

P.S. chack your email-box out

Cheers , Marco. Got the pics. Look awesome . Took me time to understand the tutorial , but got it.

It has nothing. Just a plain setup. I changed most of the parts , some are second hand as the VAG prices are rediculous around here. What I don't like is the big NUT in the wastegate and a wire near the throttle body that isn't connected to anywhere. It's black with purple insert. Will get some more pictures later.

It's quite ill now :/ . A lot of smoke coming out from the exhaust. Mostly smells like a petrol. And it's a bit blue. Car just jumps when I try to rev it past 2.500RPM , but when I do this step by step(slowly) it revs ok. Dunno what it is .

Right now I'm changing oil , filters , spark plugs , lambda , full exhaust. RS2 Turbo , exh manifold and maf soon to come. And I also miss some minor bits from exterior/interior .

It will be a long come back I guess. But first I need to get it running.

P.S. The IC is a **** ! I put it on becouse my old one was dead and I coldn't find a replacment quick enought. The reason why it's a **** becouse it's connects on the left and leave on the left. Not the common left -> right combination. Not much of a cooling.

Hmmm....

blue smoke might be oil. Do a compression test and try to figure out how many km the car has run, and "how" the km have been run!
Might need a good overall refreshing....

First thing to do, anyway, if you havn't done jet, is the cambelt. Maybe you will need to strip the engine apart anyway, but you don't want major head and piston damage for a cambelt and/or water pump and/or tensioner bearing failure, meanwhile.

Marco

Marco is right,

my hesitation with the belt exchange cost me some 2000 euros when the tensioner collapsed on the 2,8 CQ. Better do it asap Vadim.

What is with this NUT ?

[Sweeper]

Why this wire isn't connected ? What it's for ? (it has purple inside).

[Sweeper]

And what this connections stand for ? (i have a broken wire there)

[Sidspud]

I had a similar wire hanging in my engine bay. It turned out a sensor had previously been replaced but the old one had just been left hanging. If you follow it you might find the other end is also hanging loose.
If not - see if there is somewhere close by that it will plug into. Its a bit tricky back there, but there are quite a few connectors in a row. It might be one of those.

[Greg_S]

that nut, are you talking about the one on the wastegate?

[Sweeper]

Greg: yeah
