yeah unlike my old car the odd few shots of it

looking into getting a vw golf mk4 1.6 as my 3rd car

its a massive shame with the punto but it made it to 140-150k before it died

it had a good life id say.

Will this be an engine swap or a head gasket change? If its just the head gasket then its a doddle...... I've dove one before - one of the nicer ones to do in fact all you'll need to do is get it skimmed

 

[jatkinson]

its so easy to do in a punto you can climb in the engine bay with all the spare room in there

 

[gadge]

I bet you could even sleep in there James

It will be a swap due to blown piston rings

I mean theres an alternative of putting new rings on but without it stripped no one will know the damage...

 

[gadge]

Oh I agree there's no point stripping an engine down for rings when you old just put a new one in

amen to that

i've put a poll up now anyway, so check it out if there's a date there that you may be able to offer your assistance (if you can)

im hoping to get a low mile 8v lump

Aha fair play mate

Gonna be stripping the engine down tomorrow see what really happened, and post the pictures here for everyone like yourself and anyone who are curious to why this MK2 went bad all sudden

 

[gadge]

It's a tough one when it comes to rings because there usually hardy things. Maybe oil starvation? ....... Or maybe the driver
