Mat Lock's Ibiza Mk2 Gti 16v

[Mat Lock]

Can anyone identify this noise coming from the lower regions of the engine bay ?

Need itunes or quicktime to view it as it's a video from my phone. Not the greatest sound quality either

Can't help on the engine front, but where did you get your aero wipers from mate? Pop me a link or something? Thanks

 

[Fl@pper]

you'll have to get the belts off and see what's rolling noisy

could be pas pump / water pump maybe - well hopefully anyway

 

[Mat Lock]

I won't be getting any belts off apart from the belt around my waist when I take it to a garage and get right royally raeped for the work.

Anyone know a good reputable garage around croydon area where they might not bullcrap me to the cleaners.

I got them from this guy on Ebay

At that price I should have bought 2 sets

 

[Mat Lock]

Anyone used these guys ?

[Mat Lock]

Ah well, she is in the garage as of today. Hopefully find out the damage tomorrow

 

[Mat Lock]

Apparently lots of CV joint issues, worn out, damaged, borked. Collapsed vacuum pipe to the manifold as well. £280 all in to fix sucks.

 

[Mat Lock]

Ah well, got bum raped £277 for cv joints, inner jonts, some pipe, and 3hrs labour

back to normal now though, she flies again !

 

[Mat Lock]

Right, planning next months spend.

Cam belt change (expensive) or get suspension coilovers, strut braces (already own front and rear) fitted

Hmm I know what I want to do, but should I get the proper work done before the desired work hahaha

 

[Mat Lock]

Scrapping the car.

What is the best ways to get as much moneys as possible.

 

[Mat Lock]

Going to sleep on it. Too stressed today, making rash decisions.

 

[ather`s]

dont do it as you will regret it!

there must be somebody you know who can help you out matt??

 

[crezz]

mate, dont scrap it for something like that, its a right ball ache to make any dosh back, trust me

 

[Brummy]

Mat..just get someone to get it done. I know it must be a ballache spending money on it after spending all your savings on your travels etc, but it could have happened with any car tbh.

if you werent so bloody far away, Id offer to lend as much of a hand as I could....

 

[Mat Lock]

Alright, I've reconsidered binning the thing. Will get it taken to a garage and get it sorted. Just ordering some parts that I might need.

 

[crezz]

dude, ive got that bolt that you wanted, i took my pump ect off without a problem at all, you sure you have the correct belt? shame im not remotley close as id come and give you a hand

 

[Mat Lock]

it's definitely the right one as it was the same diameter as the old one that snapped.

Don't worry about the bolt, Vince sent me a spare one. Although it's slightly damaged as well after attempting this again yesterday.

Do you see what needs to happen though. Where that bototm pulley is, the pump behind it needs to move up via the teeth/bolt but mine just doens't budge, it wriggles slightly under pressure but nothing actually moves.

 

[crezz]

so what have you loosened?

 

[Mat Lock]

the main bolt with the teeth on it, the 2 bolts to the right of that which are on the pump I think. Then tried but didnt move.

Then I loosened every bolt I could see that fitted my 13mm and tried again. Still no joy.
