Its still just a 115HP, 170Nm @2400rpm four pot. Barely adequate for a heavy van other than a slightly better torque spread compared to a DJ and pulls from 1500rpm. I'd go for a 150hp 20vt swap if I was shopping for a low maintenance conversion, which won't kick the shizzle out of the transaxle in f...

2.0 8v in a Golf Mk4 Gti, this one was V reg iirc. The engine was fitted to a T3 and converted to auto using FAS parts from the USA. Not a cheap conversion but a complete kit is available.

You won't blow a healthy DG with excessive revs, I have sent one to 7k+ with no ill effects when the throttle cable iced up in a hard winter.
The hard bit is knowing if you have a healthy one.

Vege registered in Tunisia for tax purposes? I maybe should have said European folk culture to satisfy the pedants, but historically the low countries share many roots and ideas going back millennia. Borders move around but myths and beliefs have no boundaries

I bet the "engine builders" are one of the usual recycling outfits.

R9 isn't ethanol proof so thats your problem right there.

I think you'll find that its a support for the heater hose - the smallest one in your photo - that appears to be twisted around the next smallest coolant hose.

New seal from BW, seemed to be good quality crepe foam. Fitted it last summer with evostik contact adhesive, taped it in place, locked the hatch down and left it for weeks to settle (same technique usen on cab door seals and they are ok) Hatch seal has now come off while installing the engine, brush...

So this is the end for this engine build topic. Its as complete as it can be, the last few crankcase vent hose details will be done once installed in the syncro, which has its own topic.

Sorry to disappoint but I mothballed the whole thing some time ago and moved on with my life. The recipient bus has been sold so now its just parts and potential for someone with the skills and time to make it work.
