Hi all i picked up my ibiza thursday this week off a lad called james aka shantybeater. Its a lovely motor, used to belong to matt/mark burton i think his name was?!
Done a few things over the last couple of days new wipers:
turned the dv round, i know its a bit bad side loading the piston in the dv but it is a fair bit louder and the sound is so much nicer
new afm seal
new oil cap seal,
o2 sensor wire needed zip tieing up underneath as it was about an inch from the floor
de-wipered it
changed all rear bulbs on the drivers side....absolute bitch to get at due to the sub, so decided to do them all save going through it all again
binned the dice dust caps and the stickers that were on there
gave it a good clean
and some new wipers
theres not much i want to do to the car in all fairness as i think its just right how it is looks wise, i might get a bonnet bra to use from time to time and maybe get rid of the blue bulbs in the headlights. It could do with a new set of head lights and fogs though in all fairness as there looking slightly tired. Im going to put a bonnet lifter on aswell because ive just been out in the wind autosol'ing the rocker cover etc and the bonnet fell on top of my head NOT fun.
engine wise, i want to remove the N75 (ordered my blank from forge) silicone TIP, N249 bypass/removal if it hasnt already been done (going to do another thread as i cant work out if its been done or not) apart from that theres not much else i can do. Just wants a tidy up in there. A battery cover aswell.
couple of things i need to attend to, i think the thermostat housing gasket might be foobared and a couple of the injector seals...only a very very very slight weep i think
I really cant say how much of an awesome car this is, i looked into a mk4 ibiza tdi but im so glad i didnt.....253bhp in the little ibiza is crazy
pics, enjoy:
