yea its similar to the golf, the diff gets in the way! If the clutch is not aligned perfectly it will be almost impossible to get in

I wouldnt like to have to make a VR6 cake Or eat it for that matter! my little 1.4L will fill me up just fine haha.

yup.. Dont ask how.. dont ask why.. But I have been made a VW 1.4L Engine cake for my birthday... You may recognise it... The first ever totaly edible AEX engine..

Im not looking to gain huge power, more a case of getting in more air when i start playing with turbos.. Now im not sure about the Mk2 16v, I have all the stuff off a Mk3 8V here to do a fuel system conversion but as far as i can tell, the manifold bolts are diffrerent so prbably wouldnt work, its m...

you will need to prime if its not already, use plastic primer on bumpers etc... if its primed i usualy rub it down and re prime it. you will know when its enough coats becase it will be the correct colour. :lol: but usualy 2/3 will be enough depending on how you have thinned the paint. I only use ce...

Sounds like it might be your gear linkage alighnment?

I have a 2.0L golf throttle body here on my desk.. as usual im planing things which will never work but seems good in my head.. Would this fit onto an AEX engine? I mean .. it looks a bit diffrent so i could make an adapter plate and cut a bigger port into the AEX plenum chamber? Obviously i dont pl...

Its not a tall block im pretty sure of that, this one tilts forward like the AEX in my golf.. my other golf has a tall block 1.8L engine that this back, looking at the side view on auto data it looks exactly the same as the AEE/AEX engine could be wrong though

There is deffinatly an 8V 1.6L AFT engine. Mabey it was only used in the golf?! I was told about two engines. 1.4L 16V 100bhp and 1.6L 8V 100BHP I guessed both were polo but the other must have just been the golf? AEK AFT and AKS are the 100BHP 1.6 8V. Mabey it was one of the others used. Has any on...

Hi, I have a 1.4L AEX engine and i know the 1.6L AEE engine is a nice easy swap only needing a few diffrent parts. Does any one know what would be needed if i was to change to the AFT 100BHP Engine? Is the gearbox diffrent? Loom? ECU? etc? Or will most of the AEX engine parts fit. things the starter...

Who do they think they are! If i want oxygen coming out my zaust, i will have it! :D Ignore that outburst. Right.. I will try to get the correct figures for this engine. Im not going to be ding the conversion untill i have a new engine block as my pistons broken :? but when its sorted its having the...

They are hydralic lifters, Four things will cause them to tap. Wear to the surface of the cam lobe, Wear to the lifter face, Blocked oil ways and lifter failure. All of which will cause a tapping **More so when cold** So ... im almost certain lifters wouldnt be the cause. However.. Injectors do make...

If its anything like the golf/passat, you just take out a little tiny pin on the centre rail and the slide off... my golf ones did anyway

you dont have to do that, its just for the cold air feed, but i highly recomend it, you can stick it down in the wing or something?

Initaly i would say tappits but these engines make a light TICK noise and if it was worn on the surface, the temperature wouldnt effect it. Piston slap is common on these engines, but thats usualy louder when cold and goes when warm, or at least quietens down. thats more of a rattly knock. Cant real...
