Order my ITG Sausage filter and backplate from MotorsportWorld yesterday...another £144. Will take about a week to make it. The 125mm internal depth filters are made to order.
A few little tweeks today...well I put some of it back together...all in the name of attention to detail.
New bolts for the tensioner.
New bolts for the sump...
Old bolts...
New bolts...
All fitted back together...
How hard did you find it to refit the tensioner? Did you remove the top engine mount and do it from above, or below?

#965: Re: Project sleeper Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Thu Aug 29, 2013 2:57 pm ---- Might be the wrong belt then as it took 2 of us half a hr of wiggling and pushing it on. The tensioner only moves 10mm max with it on

Took me 10 minutes to remove, 2 minutes to repair, 5 minutes to reinstall it, 30 mins to get the belt back on! So much tension I could get the belt around the crank pulley. Also resulted in a spanner flying towards my forhead!

#968: Re: Project sleeper Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 5:04 pm ---- I was using a breaker bar! Was just a tight fit, with not much room to maneuver!
#969: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:10 pm ---- Spent some more money last week. Finally ordered my radiator from Radtec. I messed up the measurements even when I built a dummy radiator! So it's about 80mm narrower than planned but still fits nicely. It's twice as thick as the original so I'm confident it will be more than adequate.
I was also wanting to use the holes pre drilled in the front crossmember but my measurements error meant I had to drill new holes Oh well, it all fits perfectly.
Next job is to get the top radiator mounts fixed in place and to buy the hoses.

#971: Re: Project sleeper Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 4:01 pm ---- Still looks awesome mate. Would love to have as much dedication as you do, but im too eager to get mine on the road again!
Side note, if you ever want a shorter final drive for your gearbox fitted, just let me know
#972: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 1:18 am ---- I don't have loads of time these days to mess with it and I'm perfectly happy with the Jetta for everyday use. Can't justify throwing loads of money at the 206 all at once when it gets driven so little. Might get it mechanically finished in 2014 and back on the road in 2015.
Shorter final drive is on the shopping list yes. Can you get hold of the bits?
Still a lot of money to get it on the road, set of tyres, final drive, remap, spacers for the throttle bodies - extra 10 or 20mm induction length could be nice.
For now I just need some little tube spacers to go round the bolts into the top of the radiator. No idea where I'd get something like that.
#973: Re: Project sleeper Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 3:12 am ---- Best place for tube is ebay mate. And yes I can, even get a bit of discount too.
The ratios arent exact but ones I can get ahold is:
3.98, 4.3, 4.52, 4.7 and a crazy 5.1!
#974: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 4:00 am ---- I'm after the 17x81= 4.76 ratio
Should give me...much nicer than the current ratios.
#975: Re: Project sleeper Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Tue Dec 24, 2013 9:29 am ---- looking good as always, glad your still getting time on the car, i know its hard to find time with little ones, its taken me 6 month to strip and remove ac lol, how much was the custom rad if you dont mind
