iantt Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 yep. lol good luck removing the crank bolt . when you get round to swapping engine over, let me know and i will help you with info. basically you can pull engine out from above and leave gearbox, driveshafts etc in place in vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Old engine is out, all ancillaries, clutch and flywheel removed and refitted to new used engine. £745 down the drain and a week worth of nights working on the car. Night 5 tomorrow and the car should be finished, so will just be awaiting a replacement fuel line feeding to the High pressure fuel pump. New engine is fitted mechanically, almost fully plugged in & bits are plumbed in. Been a learning experience to say the least. Also, the damage to the old engine is serious.. The intake valves are coated in basically swarf on the rear. Dread to think what the cylinders like Ive attached a couple of photos May give this thread a few more posts but unfortunately i think my ford days are coming to an end. This is my third in 2 years of driving and its time for something better built. Better equiped and more powerful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Car lives! Seems to run okay. Now its a case of Software update with ford on thursday to remove the awful map First MOT is due sometime this month, believe its this tuesday Then it needs taxing (for free :/) Also got a borascope arriving sometime tomorrow to have a look inside the engine. Removed the injectors yesterday to find C1 injector caked up to hell apart from one tiny pin prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 SO. my first track session's booked for monday and iwont be attending :( so frustrating On a positive note, the rear end of the car is now fully LED to match the OEM LED taillights and 3rd brake light thanks to lighting from AutoBeam. I used YDET10 for 10% off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 So, I sold the fiesta on Friday and picked up a 2.0TSI VW Scirocco GT DSG The forum and it's members have saved me thousands of pounds in both parts and labour, and I couldn't be more grateful. I wish you all the best & good luck with any future projects! Cheers Kieran 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Extremely! Except Went into VW for a DSG update They also did some recall work.. Updated the ABS software and bricked the module! So they replaced that and a broken air intake at their cost. But now the ABS does nothing as they've obviously messed something up.. We'll see Fhey also washed it and made a mess :( Other than that its spot on! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
