    i wanted to do the pin swap at first, but it suits better for me to chip my ECU at the moment. i have plenty other jobs to do that are keeping me busy, i plan on doing a coil conversion eventually,

              Having hard time getting shocks!! Can o/e rs2 shocks be fitted to a coupe all round, or are they hard to get also ? When I measure the threaded cap it's 55mill, if I cant get rs2 I'll join the koni group buy ???

                Coupe and avant have completely different suspension at the rear.

                Koni adjustables are a really good option for the coupe and we have a good setup

                          Need to be careful now, you need to get it on the marks without anything going out of time.

                            Well belt and pulley are now off and it looks like no harm done, keyway was intact and no cracks on toothed pulley, will replace it anyway, what I did notice is there was no washer behind the crank bolt?

                            Will double check timing before refiting belt !

                            The washer I believe is the cause?

                              Testament to snap on


                              Crank is ok


                              And key way intact no cracks !


                              Is there supposed to be a washer for crank bolt and if so what is the part number?

                                Yes they arent cheap about £30 these days 034 105 193. Easiest is to undo the 4 bolts on front of pulley to remove washer
