random PLUG!? and more questions lol

[tyrrell]

found this hanging from the front of the engine.. between the rad and the block?

more front right (located)

any ideas?

-for all of you that read my thread on the n249, know the cars in a bit of a sorry state
sorted some more wiring out on the car today.. fixed the door handle and the passenger window slowly getting there

is there anyway of testing the n75 valve is fully functional?

had the car in AMD`s yesterday and basically they gave me a list of everything that needs to be sorted!
also had a forge re-circ fitted, how ever the car seems a bit slower now... dosent pull as hard- but thats the least of my worries at the moment

Looks like the connector for the SAI pump mate . Just tape it up out of the way mate

Come on then lets see this list then lol

basically there is a 2 a4 page list of things wrong when i get a spare day i might be able to type ot up looool

turns out i need a secondary water pump now aswell, mine wasnt even pluged in

and the plug has been cut offthe loom - clearly a car rapist owned it before!!

Does look like somting to do with the sai due to the plastic cable cover that its got on it...

If your sai has been removed and done properly then you could just remove all that crap and tidy up some more of the bay...

2 A4 pages...looks like you will be starting from the ground up then sorting that out...well atleast by the time you have finished you should no your cupra inside out...

thats what i thought mate....

might need a new engine (6 deg of knock)- wheres the best place to get one from... i think mines a tt bottom end at the moment??

2 pages full, bloody hell mate thats alot more than ive ever seen on here before tbh, an we've seen some sheds in our time lol

Only way i know of to test the N75 is to try another one an if its any better then you know yours is fooked

dont worry im on it tho.... this cupra is coming back!!! and gonna come back strong!

going powerflex bushes, etc, etc complete re vamp! probs new engine and box

its black as well, so as you can imagin its all swirled etc etc....reading 148,000 on the clock and had a new engine 1500 miles ago, but looks like it was fitted by stevie wonder.

basically im just gonna start again... sort out the mechanical.... make it safe, then sort out the performance side and finally the body work

Sounds like a plan...

When i bought mine i didnt realise at the time the paintwork was in such a sorry state it was hidden very well untill i gave it a proper clean and polish it looks like the previous owner had driven it through a sand blaster at the front...

but engine wise its all spost on so thats the importaint thing at the moment..
