Hopefully it will make the engine power a bit more accessible and more fun.
One more driveshafts to remove, exhaust can come off and the gear linkages removed and then it's time to remove the gearbox first. There's a few hours work just to get this far.
I've already decided that next year I want to make a really neat wiring loom. All the bits cost a fortune but I want it tidier. I'd love one on those looms where everything is hidden from view... Might not be possible though.

I'm not sure it's possible though with all of the standard original wiring still in place. Most cars with hidden wiring have the battery elsewhere too. I don't want to move the battery from the engne bay. Also with the car running two systems i.e. the original wiring for the clocks and the Omex it might always be slightly messy.

Yeah definitely alot more wiring than most cars have to consider and if your wanting to keep the interior oem then you can't move the battery as you said.
Could still try and tidy the wiring up and may route them elsewhere but keeping all the components where they are

If anybody is interested a standard 138 GTI flywheel weighs 6.6kg. It's massively lighter than the dual mass flywheel on my Jetta!

Finally got the engine on the stand today. Flywheel was removed the other day to enable the crank to be turned when it was on the stand. It has a slight oil leak but I'm not sure where it's coming from. I think there's one from the cam housing as there's a little puddle between the cams and on the thermostat housing. There's also one on the Cambelt end of the engine. Does anybody know what that core plug is covering on the head? Is it oil or water jacket?

I did think about that but I'm also thinking that 15 year old seal that's not leaking might be more likely to be a problem if it's disturbed and a new one fitted...if you get what I mean?

I understand what your saying, but when I changed my flywheel and clutch and put gearbox back on, my seal started leaking! All of again for a 2 minute job! Your call!

Is your leak coming from between the cam and the block? That's where mine was, just needed resealing.

Pretty sure there is a known oil leak issue on these which will be an easy fix with the engine in its current state, ill find the details.
Also if it was mine, I would replace the crank seal with a new genuine part while I had the opportunity.
A 15 year old rubber seal will be getting very tired & near the end of its working life.
The seal is £24 from a Peugeot / Citroen main dealer parts department.
