  1. What have you actually done it swapped a bigger engine in or what? As long as you have the matched each, dash and key chip it should be ok I'm not aware of the reader coil on the key barrel being coded to anything.
  2. Not quite.. the block was a completely new design for the 1.4 engine.. the head however !!!
  3. Sounds like maybe the diff bearings are shot allowing the diff to move around and mash it possibly. Can you feel any movement at the driveshaft flange if you pull it up and down etc
  4. anyone with vcds can check the system for faults, but as long as the warning lamp comes on with ign then goes out its working as it should.
  5. tidy did you have to use a resister in the end?
  6. in fairness what you could do is keep your transmission, fit a 5 speed flywheel to your pd150 engine and it will work with your car, obv some wiring to sort for the loom and immob to get around but thats easy. I'm using the 5 speed in my tdi rally car as it's much lighter and more compact.
  7. Oh yeah forgot about the valve for the clutch pack.. I'll try and remember to measure the brush length on the next low mileage one I do and update this with the data
  8. OK but you will need a momentary type switch not on off . You need to use a multimeter on the switch wires to see which ones make contact when it's pressed and use those. But there will be a resister in there somewhere that tells the abs that the switch has been disconnected from the wiring too. Not as simple as it looks I'm afraid.
  9. Um why??. What problem are you trying to fix? One wire and brown is going to be illumination and possibly the other 2 to make the contact to trigger the ecu mode. Are you trying to make it switch on with the engine every time?
  10. Possible but it should have a cam position plausibility fault logged and the eml on if so. Maybe the brakes are dragging lol..
  11. me I took one apart, its a sliding piston pump with a wobble plate quite similar to an ac pump, what my findings are is that water gets into the wiring, the + wire mainly and corrodes it where its soldered to the motor causing the controller to see a higher resistance and shut down, replacing this wire and sealing it properly seems to cured the 4 I've done so far this year. The controller measuring blocks show the hydraulic pressure and as the only connection it has to the rear diff is the pump, no other sensors etc it must calculate the pressure from the load on the pump, I think it does a simple resting resistance check on startup and if its wrong just shuts the pump down until its happy again.
  12. possibly you do have a broken wire in the door hinge,
  13. yes any of the 16v box's will work if they are from the same platform just different gear ratios but most people wouldn't notice tbh anyway.
  14. if its from a golf then you need to drill the block for the lower timing belt roller and swap the plastic backing late so you can use the fabia tensioner and engine mount, plastic water manifold is different on the head but fabia one fits, and the metal coolant pipe that runs around the engine from the thermostat to the heater pipe is different, 6 speed box fits but you will need the alloy mount adaptor from the fabia box, golf shafts are too long so you need vrs ones along with the vrs gear stick and cables, engine bay wiring loom and ecu, exhaust downpipe at least, thats off the top of my head anyway.
  15. yes you and I might but most garages ? first thing they are going to check is autodata for the timing references and give the job to the monkey in the corner lol, tbf the pushrod motors usually just grind to a stop if the chain is that slack to jump a tooth as it will wear a hole thru the timing cover and let the oil out lol.only seen 2 skoda timing chains actually jump teeth in 25 years it's a short duplex chain with decent depth sprockets, anyway we can all guess our sofa's until he actually gets a scan done on it lol..
