if you can get the following:

engine, gearbox,
exhaust system (complete manifold to rear box setup- with both lambda probes intact),
Ecu,
engine bay wiring looms,
clocks,
pedal box,
all ancilleries (all hosing for the engine),

Anything else such as brakes, suspension you want changing then i can ...

I use the zimmerman cross drilled discs from GSF- about £50 a pair i believe, i can safely say they do the job nicely!

The pads i use are black diamond predator pads, and again they're spot on! About £60 or so a pair can't remember, but got them from motorsportworld.co.uk

They are 16v polo pads ...

lol...tigz is right, good to be in the trade! i know a guy who can rebuild it for £60 labour and £120 parts...mate of a mate. Only thing is, apparently my GTI box will need gears replacing! so i wanna look into it myself and see whats what.

I would do...but i'm gonna give it a go to repair it myself, if i can do it then i'll start to offer a service repairing GTI boxes at half the cost companies do it!

ohh damn!! i'm using the CWX polo mk4 16v 100bhp box in mine now...i'm hoping it'll be fine until i get my box rebuilt, i'm gonna take apart my own GTI box and see what i can do...take pics etc. Its just cold and wet right now, so might be after xmas! lol.

so much easier to colour code the rocker with it still on the engine!!

I didn't realise how much of a pain in the arse it was to remove until i tried it on a mates engine! lol...

How did you manage to 'key' the rocker properly with all those edges, nooks and crannys it has...i think i'll do the ...

shouldn't do hopefully...the 1.4 16v box is stronger...i think the bearings they used in the GTI box are the main problem with it.

I've got the box now, so i'll give it a try and see what happens...its only 25bhp more on what it's used to anyway...so shouldn't effect it as long as i don't go crazy ...

that bracket sort of acts like a feed for the cable itself...

the clutch cable isn't expensive anyway- most likely about £10-15.

the welding isn't expensive either and if its fixable and done to a high standard, then it shouldn't break again. It'll be better and longer lasting than another pedal ...

something to do with either the main inner shaft bearing or the ones on the gears.

My final drive/diff are deemed useless due to a bearing exploding.

In time i'll take apart my own GTI box and try and do some investigating for you guys...

Lets just put it this way though...after speaking to an ex ...

Actually when i click on your links...it makes it clearer!!

1.4 16v 100bhp box:

1st: 3.45
2nd: 2.10
3rd: 1.45
4th: 1.10
5th: 0.89
Final drive: 3.88

1.6 16v 125bhp

1st: 3.46
2nd: 2.12
3rd: 1.44
4th: 1.09
5th: 0.89
Final drive: 3.60

So basic differences are in the final drive really!!

Would ...

Thanks 8080--do you have a clearer version of the 2nd page at all??

I'm trying to compare the 1.4 16v and the 1.6 16v and i can't make out what the ratios are for the 1.4 16v.

Where did you get this info from?? I want that book!! lol.

Hey...whats happened is the standard clutch is a bit too hard for the rest of the components...so the clutch cable pulls HARD on the bracket that it sits on, which is located on the pedal box.

It would break this bracket and the clutch pedal would just drop leaving you without a clutch...

the job ...

Brian- can't thank you enough...

guys come on!! i know theres a lot of knowledgable people on here!!
