mk1 project thread build

[CarChris]

I was looking for a mk1 to go with my mk2, and today was the day I got it after looking and viewing some really bad examples. This is no where near perfect but a project l. I will film the progress and put it up on my YouTube channel as well as updating the progress on here in this thread and probably asking many questions on how to fix bits that I'm at a lost with
here is my mk2

[Charlie Farley]

Mk2 is nice, for me the mk1 is nicer.

We will be tackling the loose under body trims, the headlight level sensor linkage and adaption, the window micro switch so the window drops when you open the door, the rear seats that wouldn't go back but we will look into this a bit more as we get other jobs out of the way and I found another problem with the car which we try and fix.

 

[CarChris]

in this episode we will be replacing the oil pick up pipe (oil strainer)along with changing the oil and filter, this is something I wanted to do before I start driving this car as these can get blocked and result in starving the top end of oil. And I also manged to get hold of a coolant cover for the engine bay as the car didn't come with one. 1x oil sump plug 19mm spanner or socket needed - torque too 30nm 20x sump bolts 10mm socket or 5mm hex needed - torque too 15nm 2x turbo oil return bolts 5mm hex needed - torque too 15nm 3x sump to gearbox bolts 16mm spanner or socket needed - -torque too 45nm parts needed oil pick up pipe sealant sump plug oil filter oil link to where i got my pick up pipe kit https://cloude9customs.com/product/genuine-vag-1-8t-oil-pickup-kit/ oil service kit https://cloude9customs.com/product/vag-1-8t-service-kit/

[Charlie Farley]

Nice to see your making progress chap, i do like a good project vid.
I have the same suspension on my mk1 , it's not too bad either, along with a v6 Rear ARB.

I was interested to see your rear seat problem as I had the very same problem, mine was a bent inner hinge bracket, i tried straightening it without success so just bought another rear backrest off eBay for £5 and used the hinge from it, problem solved.

I lookforward to seeing more to come.

 

[CarChris]

Cheers mate im going to have another look at the back seat but at the moment is clicked back probably the same issue as yours

 

[Charlie Farley]

Mine clicked in but was still wonky , new hinge solved the problem and it also fold down smoother aswell.
