2.0 agg on workbench, what should be replaced, serviced?
Posted: 15 Feb 2015, 21:00
Im about to start my wbx to Agg conversion.
I have taken the engine, ECU, and wires out of the donorcar.
Im about to assemble the parts from another donorengine (JX)
Is there any need-to-change parts on the agg engine I have to replace or change while I have the engine on the workbench?
Timingbelt and waterpump is a nobrainer i guess. But should i change oilpump any hard-to-get-to O-rings, gaskets and so on?
Im not doing the conversion for HP but for reliability and servicability.
Im working with ordinary diy tools in my own garage...
Donorcar:

No known servicehistory but no visable oilleaks
